Healthy Diet and Living; Monday, Period Five [ 07/20 ].
"Afternoon, guys," Daisy greeted the class with a smile and the slightest of limps; she was feeling grateful to have the counters to lean on a little. Still, despite being injured and having to be at the station early today, she'd managed to find time to bake muffins. Chocolate ones. OR WERE THEY?
They weren't, but Daisy wasn't going to say anything yet. It was sort of impressive that she still had time to bake them even with being injured and having to be at the station in the morning.
"So, last week we worked on breakfast, so now we're on lunch, which is the day's refueling station. Having a healthy, timely lunch can help curb an afternoon sluggishness or distraction, if you do it properly. So it needs to be nutritional, but not heavy. Today, we're going to work on a few options, that you can take with you and maybe have today! Or share with someone. Because that healthy eating is something that can be shared is just yet another benefit of it.
"Bento boxes are a very neat little lunch trip, especially if you make them yourself, so here's some sheets on how to make some health-focused ones and some containers to make a few today if you'd like. Bento is perfect for sharing, too.
"If you're more of a sandwich person, I've also got this Tijuana torta recipe to check out. It's black beans and guacamole, so you can give it a kick and some calcium with a little melted Montery cheese. Or maybe try a crab stuffed pita or barbeque chicken sandwich. Those last two are a bit up on the sodium for my tastes, but it's still a lot better than what you'd get if you went to most lunch meat selections. Deli meats as a secret healthy eating killer; they're loaded with preservatives and sodium, and so I highly recommend baking just a plain chicken breast and cutting it up to use on sandwiches than deli turkey or ham.
"Vegetables and the like are important for lunch, and there's a lot of really floofy vegetable salads with lemon or dill out there, but, for lunch, really, just some vegetables with maybe a nice light dip is best, which is really quick and easy to make.
"And, of course, a little desert snack. Chocolate's a big hit with you guys, and so today we'll try something with carob instead, which is a healthy chocolate substitute, used in just about everything imaginable by vegetarians. Those muffins are made with carob, actually. And you can make little candies or bites to treat yourself at the end of your healthy lunch.
"Loads of options, guys. If there aren't any questions, let's get started?"

Peyton's face brightened. "Yeah, my bio mom and I helped put together this benefit CD - got some big name bands to contribute and everything. Now I'm just waiting for them to actually be done. Should be any day now. And then, well..." she blushed a little. "I'll have an excuse to go see my bio mom again."
