When you’re a busy mom (or just someone constantly on the go), sitting down to a traditional lunch isn’t always realistic. That’s where a snack plate shines. It’s quick to put together, easy to pack, and gives you the same nutrition as a balanced meal!

For weight loss, snack plates are especially helpful because they:

  • Keep portions in check – you’re less likely to overeat when everything is pre-portioned.

  • Balance protein, fiber, and healthy fats – helping you stay full longer without energy crashes.

  • Offer variety & volume – having a high volume mix of protein, veggies, fruit, and healthy fats makes you feel more full, satisfied and less restricted so you are more likely to stay on track with your nutrition.

This grown-up “lunchable” fuels your body, supports your goals, and fits right into a busy day.


Full recipe below:


Ingredients (serves 1):

  • 3 slices deli turkey (about 3 oz)

  • 3 thin slices cheddar cheese (about 1 oz total)

Directions:

  1. Arrange turkey slices, cheddar, snap peas, boiled egg, and apple slices on a plate or in a meal-prep container.
