How To Make An Epic Healthy Lunch: A Recipe for The BLT Bowl
Every Monday through Friday, we have the same routine. We grab our laptops and head to an office for the day. If you’re like us, then you probably dread getting up every morning around the same time. It gets so monotonous, and your weekends start to feel empty. To make things easier on ourselves and everyone around us, we need to think of ways to avoid eating at a traditional office cafeteria as much as possible. That means making lunch more often than not. But just because we have to eat it at work doesn’t mean that it has to be unhealthy! In fact, with today’s recipe for The BLT Bowl, you can enjoy some of your favorite foods while staying healthy at the same time!
Can I Substitute Bacon For Something Else?
Swapping regular bacon for turkey bacon can lower your sodium and saturated fat intake and boost your protein consumption. Alternatively, you can substitute mushrooms cooked down with a little Worcestershire sauce and garlic for a meaty flavor without the actual meat. Lastly, Prosciutto is a great option if you want something more flavorful than just ham. It's also high in protein and potassium, which can help keep you energized throughout the day.
What Can I Add to a BLT Bowl?
Eggs are a staple in any healthy diet, and they're perfect for this recipe. They can help to bind all the ingredients together and make it more filling. Avocado is a great source of healthy fats, and it also adds a nice flavor to the sandwich. You can use either diced or sliced avocados for this recipe.
What is Sriracha?
Sriracha is a versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It has a spicy, tangy, and slightly sweet flavor that goes well with both meat and vegetables. Add it to the creamy mayo with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a delicious dressing for your BLT Bowl!
