Beating the mid-day slump

Keeping with the theme of eating right for cheap I want to share with you how I beat the dreaded mid-day slump. You all know the time of day. Breakfast is wearing off, your stomach is starting to growl, you begin to get drowsy, and you have 4-5 hours until you get to go home. How do we beat this nuisance.

Eat a good lunch
I want to share how I create a killer lunch that effectively gets me over the mid-day slump, and increases my productivity. Warning, this may not be for everyone. I recommend you at least try it, you'll notice the difference immediately.

KR's Superfood Lunch
You will need:

• Green Lentils (they can be canned or you can cook them yourself)

• Broccoli

• 1 hard boiled egg

• Chicken breast

• Avocado

• Sunflower seeds

• Lemon

• Olive Oil

Instructions:

• Drain the lentils and throw them into a bowl or your lunch container.

• Boil 5-6 broccoli flourettes for no more than 2-3 minutes so they retain their nutrients and add them on top of the lentils.

• In the broccoli's water hard boil an egg. When the egg is done, slice it up and place on top of the broccoli.

• Chop one avocado into cubes and throw on top of the egg.

• Add your chicken breast (left over chicken breast is even better!).

• Squeeze the juice of one lemon on top.

• Drizzle some olive oil over the top.

• Add salt and pepper to taste.

• Top with sunflower seeds.

Whoa Whoa Whoa...that sounds expensive
Wrong. Yes this might be a little more expensive than a ham sandwich, but you should never ever compromise what goes into your body because of money. Ever. If you are a clever shopper, you can find those ingredients for very cheap. Remember, there is no reason why you need to avoid store brands.
