- With so many lunch ideas on this channel,
one question I'm often asked
is what are some low carb lunch options as in for us adults?
If ideas is what you need,
I'm going to be sharing my favorites with you today.
And if there's something in the visual menu
that you want to make, I'm going to add a link to everything
in the description box below this video.

if these types of recipes are right up your alley.
Today, I have some filling salads,
but also plenty of low carb lunches that aren't salads.
So yes, low-carb lunches can be filling
and fit your dietary needs.
Something that I like to make are low-carb meal prep bowls.
Meal prep will save you lots of time
and you can use any recipe that you enjoy eating.
All you have to do is serve a portion in a container
and keep it in the fridge for later.
You can build up a low carb bowl
with either chopped lettuce or cauliflower rice,
then add any protein, veggies, and the drizzle.
Yes, I am all about sauces and drizzles
to make my meals more exciting to eat.
So if you're a fan of recipes that keep on giving,
you're going to love these low-carb burrito bowls.
They are made in a slow cooker, with just two ingredients.
When the chicken is ready,
all you have to do is shred it with two forks,
let the chicken soak up some of the sauce,
and build your bowl.
I like to add cauliflower rice, as the base,
top it with a shredded salsa chicken, then some cheese,
or add the top any other toppings that you like
inside a small little container, and take them with you.
Since we're on the topic of cauliflower rice,
check out my cauliflower shrimp fried rice recipe.
It's super easy to make.
It's all in one pan with the veggies, the eggs,
then the shrimp, then you add back everything in
and give it a stir, add your cauliflower rice, the sauce.
And once everything is heated through, it's ready.
And I have to say that the cauliflower rice
absorbs all of the Asian inspired flavors
with a lot less carbs.
Another delicious low carb idea are my grain-free falafels.
They have no chickpeas, so they're low carb,
and you can pan-fry them or bake them right in the oven.
Usually, I serve them over a salad
and it's an epic, Mediterranean inspired meal.
Now, one that I need to share with you
is my egg roll in a bowl.
It's everything that you love from egg rolls,
the cabbage, the meat, the sauce.
Oh yes, this is a one filling meal
that's perfect for breaking your fast
if you're practicing intermittent fasting,
because it's gonna keep you full for a long time.
Now speaking of intermittent fasting,
if that's something that you've been considering
or wanna take a look at,
I have a full guide on intermittent fasting
for women with printable PDFs, recipes,
to help you break your fast, a full meal plan.

Now I'm sandwich-obsessed for lunch.
And if you are too, these low carb sandwiches
made with zero carb bread are going to be epic.
I have a full video showing you
how to make the zero carb bread on this channel,
and another one with some of my favorite examples
showing you how to make low carb sandwiches
and prevent the no-carb bread from getting soggy.

You're gonna of course find those links
right below the video in the description box.
Now, of course, I have some low carb lunch salads ideas
that are going to give you nutrition, and keep you full.
One of my favorites is the buffalo chicken salad.
I use my buffalo chicken that I cook in the slow cooker,
shred it, and then use a meal prep containers
to layer up the lettuce, that chicken, the avocado,
some hard-boiled eggs tomatoes, a little blue cheese.
And I pack my homemade ranch dressing
inside small lidded containers.
At lunch, all you have to do
is drizzle the dressing over the top,
add a little extra Buffalo sauce if you want more spice,
and grab your fork, and enjoy.
Other favorite low-carb salads that feel like a meal
are my salmon nicoise salad and my chicken caprese.
Now my chicken caprese salad is an epic lunch idea
that gets tossed with my vinegarette, and it's delish.
Now for the snacker in all of us, I have my adult bentos.
I've got an unlimited list of ideas
that you can use to fill your bento box.
But in this video, I give you all my tips and tricks
on how to make a bento box.
Now, I personally love this Mediterranean bento
which is filled with fresh ingredients,
this Cali bento box, with everything that you love
from a club sandwich, without the bread,
and a bistro box, and even hefty wraps.
As you can see, these were just some of the ideas
that I have for you on this channel.
