Healthy Menu

Every week before I go grocery shopping I write down my menu.   Breakfast and lunch are less formal and I just like to know my options and then eat what I feel like.  I try to  remember what I have and eat it before it goes bad.   I like to plan out my dinners by the day, but those too are always subject to change. 

Breakfast options:    
Berry Smoothie;
White quiona almonds, raisins, real salt, honey, cinnamon;
millet cereal;
egg tortilla;
fruit and greek yogurt with peanut butter toast.

Lunch main: 
dinner leftovers
PB and honey sandwich;
Rice and 2 bean salad; t
taboulli salad;
cabbage and carrot salad;
spinach fruit and sunflower seeds salad. 

+ fruit or veggie:  baby carrots; broccoli stems, apples, bananas, blueberries, cantaloupe, watermelon, spinach, celery sticks. 

Snacks:
 fruit or veggie:  baby carrots; broccoli stems, apples, bananas, blueberries, cantaloupe, watermelon, spinach, celery sticks
Seeds and nuts: almonds, sunflower, pumpkin, chia.
