Better yet, throw in a banana for all-natural sweetening and top it off with just 1 tablespoon of chia seeds to deliver fiber and heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids.
TIP ON PREPARATION
An easy preparation is to freeze berries and a banana in baggie together for smoothie packs. Come morning, dump the fruit in a blender along with some Greek yogurt and chia seeds for an instant breakfast smoothie.
Lunch: Turkey & Avocado Wrap
Choose a whole grain wrap containing thin cuts of turkey, avocado, lettuce and a spread of hummus for your lunch. Turkey is packed with lean protein, while avocado provides the healthy fats necessary to keep you from getting hungry soon after eating. I used store-bought hummus for the creamy texture and a bit more protein from chick peas.
Wrap It Up
Swap a flour tortilla for an alternative whole grain wrap or tortilla to increase fiber. For some added crunch, throw in cucumber slices or bell peppers into the mix as well
Meal Prep Inspiration
You can make the wraps a day or two ahead and store them wrapped in foil, but they are best served fresh. Note: Add the avocado just before eating to keep it from turning brown.
Snack: Carrot Sticks with Hummus

Measuring
Portion your hummus. A portable, portion sized tub of hummus is two tablespoons and works well with a medium carrot.
