Other options include Potato Cauliflower Soup with creamy potato soup base, sauteed cauliflower, and shaved Parmesan or the Chicken & Veggie Soup with chicken and vegetable soup base, plain chicken breast, and long grain rice.

These warm grains are gluten-free, made with a mix of lentils, long grain brown rice, and red quinoa. Add in some proteins like chopped chicken breast, tuna with apples, root vegetables and zucchini, chilean salmon, seasonal chicken salad, roasted shrimp and more.
