Super fast and easy lunch idea!

My clients and I spend a lot of time brainstorming healthful meal and snack ideas that match their individual lifestyles. One idea that I share a lot is to make a simple charcuterie style lunch.

I love this strategy because it’s flexible, only takes a few minutes to throw together, and it’s different every time so it doesn’t get boring.

To make it work best, plan ahead the next time you go to the grocery store and choose a few ready-made proteins (see the graphic for ideas) or plan for leftover proteins from other meals. Be sure to stock up on some fruits and veggies, dips, spreads, and other goodies—I’ve given you a bunch of starter ideas but I’m sure you’ll come up with others too.

Assemble and enjoy! 

Pro-Tip: You can cut up fruits and veggies ahead of time or save time by buying them precut and washed OR choose things like baby carrots, snap peas, cherry tomatoes, and baby “cutecumbers” that don’t need cutting for even faster options.
