9 Quick and easy 15-minute lunches
Published on 13 May 2019
When you have a toddler who loves tantrums and a young baby who needs attention, or just any mom for that matter, 15 minute lunches are a life safer. Make them in the morning if you can while the kids are still sleeping. If you can't then it's easy to whip it up in the afternoon.
Turkey spinach pinweels
I've used the idea of these wraps but couldn't find turkey so I used sliced roast chicken and they turned out delicious.
Chickpea edamame salad
Everything in this salad comes together nicely. I love the dried cranberries and it's nice to eat less meat and rather eat healthy legumes. The edamame adds protein and interest to the salad.
Mason jar Quinoa salad
This is such a simple but impressive salad. I'd take it along when asked to bring a salad. The black beans and corn goes together nicely with the quinoa and if you have fresh avo that would be great.
Veggie pita sandwiches
This pita sandwiches have a creamy avo and chickpea hummus. If you don't have fresh avo you can use guacamole, bottled avo or avo and garlic dressing like I did.
BLT pasta salad
Both my husband and toddler boy loves pasta so I just had to include a pasta recipe in our lunch. The bacon, ranch dressing and cheese makes this pasta salad special.
Cashew and lentil rocket salad
This salad may be vegan but the lentils and cashews add protein and fiber to your diet.
Margherita pizza pita breads
My son loves pizza, so let's hope this is a hit with him. It sure looks yummy.
Vietnamese chicken salad
The peanuts in this crunchy Vietnamese salad looks delicious. Whip it up in 15 minutes or less for a healthy lunch.
Easy tuna wrap
Tuna is a nice option for lunch and this recipe adds lots of flavor and health boosters to the tuna while the bed of baby spinach keeps the wrap from getting too moist.
