Hi! School is finally upon us, which means that it’s time to start making lunches again. Today I’ve comprised a list of food items that I like to have on hand during the school year to make feeding myself a little easier. I use most of the things on this list on a weekly basis, if not every day, and lots of them are in the recipes on my blog. If you want to start eating a little healthier, it really helps to have some healthy ingredients in your house so that you can actually make healthy food. Here’s my list!

• A LOT of fruit and veggies
• Avocados
• Greek yogurt
• Natural Peanut Butter
• Hummus
• Whole grain pitas or tortillas
• Chickpeas
• Black Beans
• Quinoa
• Oatmeal
• Lentils
• Chickpea Pasta
• Whole grain crackers
• Sprouted Grain Bread
• Organic Canned Soup (this comes in handy on days when I sleep in!)
• Oil and vinegar (for salad dressings)
• Healthy muffins

I know that that might sound like a lot of stuff, but you don’t need all of it to make a healthy lunch. The most important thing to me on that list is fruit and vegetables, because they’re a super quick snack and are healthy and delicious. If you don’t like the taste of veggies on their own, try dipping them in hummus or another dip. Starting tomorrow I’ll be posting my lunches on my Instagram story every day, so be sure to check that out! Have a great first week back to school, see you Wednesday;)

Yours Truly,
