Whole Grain Chicken Pita

Stuff a whole grain pita with fresh raw tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, onion, broccoli, spinach,
or any vegetables you love and grilled chicken breast. An apple makes for a delicious dessert.

Another option is whole grain pasta drizzled with extra virgin olive oil tossed with cherry
tomatoes, fresh garlic and herbs and shaved parmesan cheese on top. Add grilled shrimp to
make it extra hearty.

The many available Quinoa salad recipes make for a great whole lunch as well.

An unprocessed turkey (not lunch meat) sandwich on whole grain bread with lots of vegetables
is another great option for a healthy whole food lunch.

Dinner

Why not enjoy steamed wild salmon with a side of oven-roasted asparagus, seasoned with olive
oil, lemon juice and fresh dill or garlic? Add a 1 cup serving of a whole grain, like brown rice,
lentils or a whole grain roll. If you prefer, you could replace the salmon with cod, catfish,

scallops, shrimp or chicken.

You can also eat a grilled lean steak with a side of steamed vegetables and quinoa or brown
rice. Roasted sweet potatoes and black beans make a great side dishes as well.

A grilled turkey breast with a side of mushrooms grilled with fresh butter and garlic and a
vegetable/barley pilaf makes a great dinner.

Snacks

 Dairy products, such as, feta cheese, parmesan
cheese and plain, natural yogurt can be enjoyed as

whole food snacks.

 You could also make your own guacamole or
hummus (chickpea spread) and dip carrots, celery or

cucumbers.

 Plain boiled eggs
