My Lunch is always on the go. The days I am home I try to get the nutrients, I may not get in my dinner.
Fiber is again very important, so its either from whole wheat or another grain if your gluten free.
I am still in the process of learning about Gluten free recipes, so when I feel more comfortable will post.
I strongly believe in the Mediterranean diet, its not a typical diet like all the other diets as I do not personally believe any is permanent and if you follow a diet and have been successful, that is amazing. The Mediterranean diet is a lifestyle change and you can start very slow with some of the foods.
Avocados are powerhouses of nutrients, they have loads of monounsaturated fats, which help your heart and help against dementia. They have fiber, potassium and some protein. They have Vitamin A and C.
The easiest way for me to eat Avocados are as guacamole. My recipe is easy, spicy and quick. I eat them on whole grain crispbread made with lots of seeds. Trader Jo has an amazing one. I have 1/2 a glass of Pomegranate juice or some berries with this meal.
