Tuna Salad Seaweed Bites
Keeping tuna salad in the refrigerator can be a real time saver when it comes to grabbing a quick lunch. Full of high quality protein from the tuna, healthy fat from the avocado and fiber from the carrots, this checks all the boxes for a filling and satisfying lunch. Add a sliced apple or a handful of berries for extra fiber and nutrients.
