5 Healthy Lunch Recipes for Clean Eating



Let's be honest — healthy eating can feel complicated.

Between work, errands, and just living life, it's easy to skip lunch or grab something that drains your energy instead of fueling your day.

I combined this simple collection of healthy lunch recipes — to make your midday meals nourishing, satisfying, and stress-free.


All five recipes are:

  • Low-glycemic

  • Egg-free & hummus-free

  • Full of real, clean ingredients

  • Aligned with a lifestyle of intention, grace, and God-honoring stewardship


Also, each recipe is included in the free printable 1-Week Healthy Meal Plan + 10 Clean Snacks at the end of this post!
