YOU CAN DO THIS LUNCH

Many people believe that eating right and tasting good are mutually exclusive.  That they just can't go together.  Well, here at TIPS FROM A MAN, we are out to change that way of thinking.  Here is another example of success!

Lunch Salad

This salad is made from the following ingredients:
Spinach
Strawberries
Pineapple
Mandarin Oranges
Blueberries
Avocado

And a side of vegetables:

Cucumber
Red Bell Peppers
Celery
Radish
Top off with Greek Yogurt Jalapeno dip


Lunch Sandwich

Spelt Bread
Sliced Apple
Sunflower Butter
Cinnamon
Honey

I might have caught your attention with the Spelt bread.  What is Spelt?  A wonderfully nutritious and ancient grain with a deep nutlike flavor, spelt is a cousin to wheat that is recently receiving renewed recognition. Spelt products can be found in your local health food store year-round. 

Spelt is an ancient grain that traces its heritage back long before many wheat hybrids. Many of its benefits come from the fact that it offers a broader spectrum of nutrients compared to many of its more inbred cousins in the wheat family. It can be used in many of the same ways as wheat including bread and pasta making. Spelt does not seem to cause sensitivities in many people who are intolerant of wheat. 

See if you aren't careful you learn something new every day!  Have a great lunch like this one today!

Enjoy life.
