These 3 protein-packed lunches bring together fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and powerful nutrients to keep you feeling energized, strong, and satisfied.

🥑 Day 1: Chicken Waldorf Salad (With a Twist!)

Classic Waldorf salad just got a protein boost! This version swaps out the usual heavy dressing for avocado oil mayo, bringing healthy fats into the mix while keeping it light and creamy.

🍏 Star Ingredients & Their Benefits:

  • Chicken Breast – Lean, high-quality protein for muscle repair.

  • Apples – Adds fiber and a touch of sweetness.

  • Walnuts – Omega-3 powerhouse, great for brain health! 🧠

  • Avocado – Full of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.

  • Apple Cider Vinegar – Supports digestion and gut health.

🍽 How to Serve: Instead of the traditional salad bowl, we’re spreading this goodness over sourdough bread for a fiber-rich, open-faced sandwich. Pair it with apple slices for a crunchy, refreshing side!
