6 Healthy Lunches That Don't Include Salads

Lunch can be kind of a weird meal. You need it to replenish you from the morning work you've just accomplished, as well as provide you with enough energy to get you through the work you have ahead. You need something that won't weigh you down, leaving you tired and incapable of focusing on your goals, but it can't be too light to the point where all you do the rest of the day is think about dinner as you listen to your stomach grumble. And, of course, if you're focusing on your weight, you want something that adheres to your diet. A salad seems to be the go-to. But isn't there anything else to get excited about? Try these six healthy lunches. 1. Sweet Potato, Chickpea and Quinoa Burger Packed with a punch of taste, this burger comes in at only 202 calories per patty. Add a whole wheat bun, lettuce, tomato and ketchup, and you're still enjoying a meal under 500 calories. 2. Cauliflower Crust Pizza Who can say no to pizza? At 272 calories, this veggie crust will take out the empty calories and power you up! 3. Chickpea and Kale Stew Soup can hide a lot of calories, but not this vegan option! Coming in at 502 calories, it's filled with the nutrients you need to get you through the day. 4. Red, White, Bean and Basil Frittata Packed with protein, this egg-based lunch option comes in at 378 calories per two slices. 5. Raw Gorilla Wraps They're fresh, raw and super quick to make! A perfect on-the-go option, they come in at 275 calories per wrap. 6. Raw Walnut Tacos At only 310 calories per taco, they're a recipe favorite of Beyonce, so you've got to try them.
