I just had a lunch that I feel was very healthy:

Greek Yogurt (w/7 live cultures, zero low fat, forget about it) Honey & Vanilla by Greek God (probiotic too)
a bit of pecans
a bit of walnuts
a bit of sunflower seeds (no salt)
raisins,
half a banana
2 fresh strawberries

Stir it all together (sometimes I blend for a smoothee but I like it chunky.

I won't be hungry til 6, even 7 tonight.
 

I have non-fat greek yogurt every morning, I usually buy Dannon Oikos or Chobani. I add some raw unfiltered honey, some organic lemon or lime juice, and sprinkle either organic flaxseeds or hemp hearts on top. I like the ones with only nonfat milk in the ingredients, no other unnecessary additions, Fage is okay too. Happy to see others eating healthy, I'm far from a health freak, but these little things add up to a healthier old age. :yes:
 
Oh yeah, I'm far from eating "all" good stuff, but progress right:) Lots of things you named I haven't tried, but I will. I got the Greek God mainly because it was the only one, seriously, that was NOT low fat, it had the 7 live cultures, and the price was good. I had never had Honey/Vanilla, yum. Our honey is raw too, my sis buys it at her smoke shop, can you believe that?? Anyway, way good stuff;) I hope we encourage others to just try this stuff. I know I used to think it sounded horrible, then I tried it, so glad I did;) denise:)
 

I used to take a yogurt to work everyday to eat for lunch. Back then I bought the ones with fruit on the bottom. Now that I'm eating it at home, I just went with Greek, and add the stuff I want...almost like a treat really.
 
My lunch was way more like a desert. I love adding the nuts and seeds too, crunchies. That's the first time I ever tried Greek Yogurt. I didn't really know if there was a diff. but it was so good, the Honey Vanilla anyway;) I just cooked for my sis and I today, red-beans, red onions, fresh garlic, then I even added Mrs. Dash, Garlic powder, Ginger, and Onion powder. I don't overdue, but just a bit extra. Then I made Corn-bread, she's in there enjoying it, I'm not quite hungry yet, knew I wouldn't be after that lunch, plus, I had 4 or the 8 ounces of water today. I try hard to get enough, but 8 is hard for me still, lol;)
 
I haven't tried the Oikos, yet;) I love the fruit in mine, plus try adding nuts, seeds (I buy unsalted raw nuts etc.) I also love the raisins. The raisins add some sweetness, oh, and the banana. For me, it's my budget that has me buy large containers, plus I like to add my own stuff;) That Greek God is pretty good, so is Mountain High. I read where the 7 live cultures are always good for us, they eat up any bad bacteria if I understand it right. When my pup had upset tummy, I'd give her about half a teaspoon and voila, not more upset tummy. Works on me too, although my fave cure is Apple Cider Vinegar;)
 
Another healthy lunch for you Denise. Into low fat chicken broth simmer a bit of quinoa, along with some mushrooms, broccoli rounds and whatever other veg you have on hand. I add craisins for sweet, the chicken and broccoli tops at almost the end just to soften. If you have some leftover chicken throw that in too.

It tastes great, honest!
 
that sounds good Rose, thank you thank you:)
