Layer vinaigrette, hearty beans, grains, proteins, and crisp vegetables in jars so delicate greens stay away from dressing. Flip and shake at lunch for balance in seconds. Post your favorite jar combo, and we’ll calculate macros and offer tweaks.

Pre-Meeting Focus Bowls

Before major presentations, choose bowls with lean protein, slow-digesting carbs, and crunchy vegetables—think salmon, farro, greens, and seeds. The balance sustains attention without heaviness. Share your big-meeting time, and we’ll suggest timing and portions.

Refuel Without the Afternoon Crash

Post-lunch lethargy often follows sugar-spiky meals. Aim for protein, fiber, and healthy fats with modest carbs—like turkey, chickpeas, arugula, olive oil, and citrus. Try it this week and message us if your 3 p.m. clarity noticeably improves.

Workout-Day Adjustments

On training days, front-load protein and add a bit more carbohydrate before and after you exercise. Hydrate well and include electrolytes. Comment with your workout time, and we’ll propose balanced pre- and post-session meal ideas that fit your agenda.
