It’s not often we find a delicious salad recipe that is chock-full of wholesome grains. But thanks to health foodie Lillian Tse of Beyond Umami, this week we are proud to feature a Cranberry Spinach Buckwheat Salad that packs all the essential nutrients you need into every tasty forkful.
Few salads do as good of a job at being both healthy and decadent as an authentic Greek Salad. With antioxidant-rich olive oil, iron-packed Kalamata olives, and the distinctive taste of feta cheese, Greek salad never disappoints—especially when you have an excellent recipe like the one we snagged from The Workout Girl.
Have you gotten into a sandwich rut when packing your lunchbox? How about shaking things up by packing an onigirazu instead! Onigirazu (pronounced “oh-knee-ghee-rah-zoo”) is kind of like a rice sandwich, and they’re currently all the rage in Japan. Layers of filling sandwiched between layers of rice all wrapped in a sheet of nori (the same type of Japanese seaweed used to roll sushi rolls in). You can add just about whatever fillings you want, which makes them super flexible while giving you an easy alternative to your usual sandwich.
If you are looking for a tasty way to incorporate a vegan-friendly recipe into your Bentgo Salad lunchbox this week, health coach Shannon Sullivan has a fresh, protein-packed Citrus Chickpea Quinoa Salad you should try. She shares all the details for prepping and packing this delicious lunch to carry with you on-the-go in her latest “What I Eat in a Day” vlog. Check out the video and recipe below.
Resolving to eat better is easy to do on January 1. But, after a few weeks (or even days for some of us), old temptations take over and our good intentions get put on the back burner. If you’re tired of that same old song and dance, keep reading. We’ve scoured the Web to find the best advice out there from health bloggers, nutritionists and everyday people like you who have stuck to their guns and made healthy eating a way of life.
Let's face it, after all the delicious overindulgence of Thanksgiving it's really hard to get back into the healthy lifestyle you've been working so hard to adopt since last New Year's Day. It's especially hard going back to work and staying on point at lunchtime. Four-day weekends are never long enough, but the not-so-healthy habits you bring back from them can still throw off your entire work week. Martini at 10 a.m. anyone?! No, just me? Cool.
Anyway, that's why I love this recipe!
We are so excited to share our recipe for Quinoa with Ginger-Carrot Dressing and Maple Tofu served with purple cabbage "chips". This is a super delicious fun lunch and travels perfectly in our Bentgo containers. It can be a pain trying to find the right containers for our lunch and somehow our lids always disappear! But, our Bentgo boxes make it easy because everything snaps together. The boxes come in cool colors, and we got our favorites, purple and green. Along with the many compartments, Bentgo boxes also come with silverware.

As someone who is always on the go, between driving the kids around, to running errands, attending events, road trips, and visiting friends near and far I often forget to eat during the day unless I pack food to take on the road with me.
One of my favorite salads (and my daughter's favorite too) is a simple Asian Chicken Salad.
One of the best things about Thanksgiving is that for about a week after you have a refrigerator full of tasty leftovers to enjoy. Moms get a break from cooking for a few nights, and everyone is happy to eat their favorite turkey day dishes over and over again after waiting patiently for them all year long.
