I’ve noticed on Twitter and in the blog world that a lot of people ask for ideas for packing lunch. Sometimes it’s easy for me and sometimes I have absolutely no idea what to pack.
I usually plan my lunch just like I plan any meal. For a perfectly balanced meal, I like to have some type of protein, vegetable, fruit, fat, and carbs.
Lunch today wasn’t very creative or fun. But it was filling and balanced.
Protein – Greek yogurt and pinto beans
Vegetable – Kale fries
Fruit – 3 clementines
Carbs – pinto beans
What’s missing here? A bit of fat.
Problem solved.
I was heavy into emails and needed something I could eat with minimal mess and effort. I subbed out my clementines for my new blueberry muffin Larabar and saved my fruit for later.
This may be my favorite fruity Larabar yet! Well, maybe if you don’t count the coconut flavor. The blueberry didn’t have that artificial blueberry taste. It tasted like real blueberries. It wasn’t too sweet or too tart. It was delicious!
Don’t worry PB and chocolate chip. You’re still my very favorite. But this blueberry muffin flavor was very good; something I would toss in my cart with my favorite chocolate varieties.
Curious about what’s in it?
Ingredient List: dates, cashews, blueberries, blueberry juice concentrate, lemon juice concentrate, and vanilla extract
Simple and delicious.

I spent the evening at the hospital where my Uncle Ronnie is having some tests done on his heart after having chest pains this morning. We’re hoping and praying that his tests come back okay. I offered to take my little cousin (his daughter) home with me so she could hang out with Brad and I until my aunt left the hospital to go home for the night. We made some awesome nachos for the three of us that went unpictured because I was so tired and so ready for dinner.
I’m feeling a lot better but still not 100%. Hopefully, I’ll be approaching marathon-ready status by tomorrow morning. Our plane leaves at 10 – something. I probably should know when our plane leaves right?
No worries. 😉
I’m off to bed for some serious rest!
