Cottage Cheese with Berries and Seeds 

I love eating cottage cheese so anytime I want a super quick lunch; I pull out one of my small individual cottage cheese cups and add some fresh berries and sunflower seeds on top. The lunch provides me with protein for energy, a serving of fruit for some vitamin C and fiber, and some vitamin D and calcium to keep my bones and teeth healthy and strong naturally.
Rice and Beans 
Another one of my favorite quick healthy lunch ideas that is hearty, warming and super quick to make is my rice and beans. All I do is take two cups of brown instant rice with a can of organic baked beans and two cups of water and combine the ingredients in a pan on top of the stove. Then, I place the lid on the pot, turn the burner on medium heat and allow the rice and beans to cook together for 10-minutes. After, I stir the ingredients to make sure they are mixed well and serve it up in my little to go bowl and eat as I go. The rice is fat-free and provides me with whole grains and the beans are full of protein and fiber to fill my tummy up and keep me energized.
