Bowl 1Bowls are easy to prepare and packed with healthy foods that will keep you energized until dinner. Try making this one — recommended by our dietitian Ashley Mendes — for a lunch you’ll look forward to!

Ingredients

  • 1-2 cups leafy greens (romaine lettuce, kale or spinach)
  • 1 boiled egg
  • ½ cup boiled chopped red potatoes
  • ½ cup steamed or roasted broccoli
  • ½ can low-sodium tuna (or flavoured tuna — try spicy thai)
  • ¼ cup chick peas
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Directions

  1. Add 1-2 cups shredded lettuce to bottom of your bowl.
  2. Add egg, chopped potatoes, broccoli, tuna and chickpeas.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the bowl and sprinkle with black pepper

To make enough of these for the week, boil the eggs at the beginning of the week and keep them in the fridge. Keep beans (sodium-free) in an airtight container in the fridge as well once you’ve opened a can.
