QUICK & EASY HIGH PROTEIN AND FIBER LUNCH

Shirazi salad, cottage cheese, avocado, and olives-topped with everything but the bagel seasoning

This is an easy and quick meal with bright flavors that will fill you up while getting in your protein and fiber. Shirazi salad is an Iranian salad with an olive oil and lemon juice dressing. Pair that with some cottage cheese (Good Culture is the brand- it is HANDS DOWN the best cottage cheese on the market), half of a large avocado, and caselvetrano olives. They are my favorite and have the most perfect buttery texture and flavor.
