Perk up your fast lunch with 4 tasty energizing options!

1. Layer black bean dip, avocado and peppery

arugula on a rustic whole grain baguette for

a simple sandwich with big flavour.

2. Pack hard boiled eggs, cheese, fresh veg-

gies, a few olives and whole grain crackers

for a super snack-like lunch.

3. Mix lentils, roasted sweet potato and red

peppers, quinoa and a drizzle of lemony

dressing for protein-packed salad bowl.

4. Toss light tuna, snow peas, grape tomatoes,

with leftover whole grain pasta, basil filled

pesto, and a pinch of chili flakes—this dish

is great cold or heated.

March is Nutrition Month! This year’s theme for Nutrition Month is “Eating 9-5”. Throughout the month of March, Dietitians across Canada will be sharing their food and nutrition expertise and serving up tips to eat well at work including how to: combat rushed mornings; improve choices at meetings, events and in the workplace; revive lunchtime; fight the mid-day slump and manage commuter cravings.

The secret to starting off your day right? Getting ready the night before!

Put dinner leftovers into containers and refrigerate for tomorrow’s lunch.

Portion and pack lunchbox snacks, such as fruit, vegetables and hummus, or roasted soy nuts.

Fill up and refrigerate your reusable water bottle for sipping at work.

Prep breakfast: wash and chop fruit, get out the breakfast dishes and set up the coffee maker.

Make barley, quinoa, or oat porridge and refrigerate in portions. Reheat with mix-ins, such as fruit and seeds in the morning.

Get ready for tomorrow nights dinner: cut veggies, cook grains, and marinate meat.
