Simple Meal Plans
Meal planning can be easy. We offer some simple meal ideas to help you see that with just a few sustainable ingredients you can make an array of healthy meals.
If you are not planning your meals, you are typically just eating what’s available when you are hungry. A little meal planning can go along way towards helping you eat better and therefore be healthier. Meal planning can also save you money. Instead of eating take-out for lunch everyday, plan a few meals in advance. Planning meals also helps reduce food waste. Did you know that 40% of the food produced each year in the United States ends up in a landfill or is left to rot in the field?

Sustainable Lunch
We definitely enjoy a nice sit down lunch, but with varied schedules during the week and generally being "busy" during working hours, we often snack our way through lunch. Here are a combination of snack type items that can be eaten for lunch. Some are lighter meals than others and you can mix and match these to meet your hunger needs.
