How can I create a balanced meal

[AddisynFuller]

Sure! Here are four different ways you can create a balanced meal:

[MarleyShields]

**Mix and Match**: Start with a protein source like chicken, fish, or beans. Add a whole grain like brown rice or quinoa, and then throw in some colorful veggies like broccoli or bell peppers. Don’t forget a healthy fat, like avocado or olive oil, to round it all out!

[LilianOsborne]

**Plate Method**: Imagine your plate divided into sections. Fill half of it with veggies (think leafy greens, carrots, etc.), a quarter with lean protein (like turkey or tofu), and the last quarter with whole grains (like whole wheat pasta or farro). It’s easy and keeps things balanced!

**Breakfast Bowl**: For a balanced breakfast, start with a base of oatmeal or yogurt. Top it with some fresh fruit, a handful of nuts or seeds for healthy fats, and maybe a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon for flavor. Super satisfying and good for you!
