"Wrap with turkey lunch meat lettuce cheese - I got this lettuce since the grocery had no good spinach and I didnt really like this combo. Need to make some chicken for tomorrow instead!"
"Great work Alaina! Youre halfway to your weekly goal of fiber & lean protein-rich lunches. Its fantastic to see you making adjustments based on whats available at the grocery store. I hope you continue to find creative ways to incorporate healthy foods into your meals like swapping out spinach for lettuce when necessary. Looking forward to hearing about your chicken meal tomorrow!"
