My lunch go to is- 1 can reduced sodium black beans, 1 can reduced sodium kidney beans, I chopped onion, chili powder, cumin power,garlic 1 pound package of Purdue hormone free 99 % fat free ground turkey.. Cook onions first as a substitute for oil or butter then add rest & you have a healthy high protein & fiber meal for several days. I put in ramekins then vacuum seal them with my food saver an freeze till I need them...

My morning health start is - 2 cups gluten free uncooked rolled oats, 1 cup fresh raspberries or blueberries, 1 cup silk almond milk unsweetened, 1 cup plain Greek yogurt & cinnamon to taste... Mix then place in fridge to set up "taste great" I eat 3/4 cup for breakfast...

2 oz of imitation crap meat & 1 table spoon of light mayonnaise with paprika, chop the crap then mix all together. It will fill a 3/4 ramekin.
