Greek Chickpea Salad for lunch! I could eat anything with kalamata olives. Chickpeas are an easy high protein complex carb and the feta cheese adds another protein source to the meal. I end up throwing in any veggies I have around, this time it was tomatoes, cucumber, red cabbage and bell peppers with an oil and vinegar dressing incorporating some fresh dill (or any herbs you have leftover)! Veggie based salads are a great way to get your colors in, especially if you aren't a leafy greens fan. 😉

Gluten-free Almond Baked Chicken Bowl. A great make ahead meal that can easily be uses for a couple dinners or dinner + leftover lunches! I used millet as my base complex carb for the bowl but you can use anything like quinoa, brown rice or a gluten grain like barley or wheat berries. Adding kale as your green provides insoluble fiber to keep you full! I massage it with a little salt and dressing first so the greens are tender and have some flavor = easier to eat!

Dressing: 1tbsp each of ground or Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar and 1/2 cup olive oil with salt and pepper to taste.

Allmond Baked Chicken: Dip chicken in egg (I used 2 eggs and added 1/4 cup almond milk to thin it out a bit) and then coat in the almond mixture and lay the chicken on top of a cooling rack placed onto a baking pan.
Almond mixture - blend in blender or food processor: 3/4 cup almonds, 1/2 cup almond meal, 1tsp salt, 1tsp pepper, 1 tsp smoked paprika.
Bake at 425 for 20 min or until the chicken is done.

The makings of a taco salad! I love adding so many things to my salads I end up with more veggies than lettuce sometimes! I used a mixture of black beans and barley flavored with some cumin and chili powder instead of meat this time for a vegetarian meal with high fiber carbs. A great option for a balanced meal that will satisfy and prevent elevated blood sugar!
