Lunch is the one meal of the day I find myself struggling with the most. I’ve got breakfast figured out—eggs and a fresh Paleo smoothie—and dinner is pretty simple too. But lunch? I’m never quite sure. I prefer dishes that take less than 15 minutes to prepare and contain meat and a green vegetable. Lunch is still pretty early in the day (typically), so starting it off on the right foot is important to me.
Roasted Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite meal options. You can enjoy them drizzled with olive oil, or take it up a notch with this lemon garlic and chorizo recipe! Plus, you get that extra protein.
