4 Healthy Lunches To Satisfy Your Summertime Appetite
Healthy Dining Finder

It is a hot summer day and you have NO CLUE what you're having for lunch! Something heavy will make you pretty sick, while just an orange or apple may not be enough. Below, you will find a list of five summertime lunches that are healthy and a medium fare!

1. Caprese Salad

Thinly sliced fresh mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, and balsamic dressing drizzled on top makes for a filling, yet healthier lunch. This lunch is not too heavy, and it is served chilled! (My personal favorite!)

2. Strawberry Balsamic Spinach Salad

The name of this option is pretty self-explanatory! For this one, you only need some nice, fresh spinach leaves, fresh sliced strawberries, and a little bit of balsamic vinaigrette. Portion it out, appropriately, and mix the ingredients together.

3. Turkey Lettuce Wrap

Take some time to go to your local grocery store and purchase low sodium deli turkey (Hillshire Farm is my favorite) for this option! Lettuce off of a head of lettuce is used in place of a tortilla wrap, while the turkey, tomato, and any other toppings of your choice are included inside. This is a nice on-the-go snack for warm, sunny days!

4. Bagel Sandwich and Fruit Salad

This lunch option is quick and easy! You'll need a whole wheat bagel, low-sodium deli meat of your choice, and any toppings you would like to include. For this lunch, it is better to only eat a half of the bagel with your sandwich, in order to enjoy the fresh fruit salad (cut up fruit of your choice).

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
