Lunch time strikes and you have a few options. You either go the fast food route, find something healthy, or skip it. With a long day at work, or running around, we think healthy is the best way to go. Here are some of our favorite options to help you make the best choices.

1. Power salad: Salads are great way to get tons of nutrients in your body. Start with one that has dark leafy greens like kale and layer it with crunchy veggies, beans, and a light dressing.

2. Soup: This liquid lunch is another favorite that is packed with good-for-you ingredients. Get the ones that aren't loaded with cream and stick to the veggie-based varieties.

3. Consider a sandwich: Sandwiches are another great option that might not typically be thought of as a healthy lunch. For your sandwich, get a dark wheat bread and load it with veggies, avocados and learn meat like turkey. 

4. Get the fish: If you have a work lunch, consider getting the fish. It is a fantastic heart-healthy option that is loaded with protein and omegas to get you through the rest of the day.

5. Grilled chicken: Another light option is the grilled chicken that is generally cooked in a little bit of oil. Add some greens to this option for a delicious and filing lunch.
