Product Description

When you’re on the learning curve to get away from meat, dairy, and processed foods, it’s easy to get in a rut! Eating the same thing for lunch every day can get boring. But, of course, you want something quick to make and portable for work or school.

Having this book is a good first step to ending the boredom of the Lunch Rut! You’ll learn to have certain staples on hand, as detailed here, and you can mix and match them in an endless variety of ways for great plant-based nutrition every day.

I went to GreenSmoothieGirl.com readers to add to my own lunchtime arsenal. I’ve given credit by first name to contributors who sent ideas of what they like to eat for lunch. This should give you plenty of variety, as well as exciting nutrition to get you through the day with energy maximized!
