Healthy Lunch

With the first day of school right around the corner, we know you are desperate for some healthy lunch ideas. The Healthy Lunch Challenge winner from Maryland, our buddy Sam (pictured with his new friend, Sam Kass, White House Chef) might have some ideas for you. His recipe for Sizzling Tofu with Green Onions and Sugar Snap Peas won him a trip to the White House this week! Of course, that isn't every kids idea of a good lunch. If your kids like things that are more standard, such as a nice sandwich, why not start with some of the wonderful GH breads? Our whole grain breads are a great choice and whole grains are known to be very nutritious and their complex carbohydrates keep you going a lot longer than those grocery store breads that are full of sugar and fillers. Blech!

We also have a fantastic selection of Frontier  and Maggie and Mary Soup Mixes. Many of them can be prepared in a jiffy - under an hour! Or you can whip up a pot on the weekend and send it for lunch in a thermos. By the way, Sam is a big fan of soup for lunch. He LOVES the Frontier Asparagus Almond Soup!

Come in and get more lunch ideas. We hope to see you soon! Your friends at the Great Harvest in Columbia.
