This month I am participating in the Brown-Bag Challenge where the Food Network’s Healthy Eats blog is teaming up with fellow food bloggers to host a month-long initiative to eat consciously and save money by packing a lunch each weekday instead of eating out. You can join here and share what you’re eating on Facebook and Twitter with the hashtag #brownbag.
Yesterday’s lunch was a super-simple approach to lunch and snacks:
- Spiced quinoa (still tweaking) with white beans
- Leftover roasted broccoli and okra
- Gena’s Chai Chia Pudding with the banana blended in and raspberries as a topping.
