  "account": "Serena Pratt, a registered dietitian, shares four protein-packed lunch recipes that take less than 20 minutes to prepare. She highlights pasta salad, chicken Caesar wraps, and a barbecue-ranch bean salad as her favorites. Each of these meals provides at least 20 grams of protein, carbohydrates, fat, and fiber to keep her energized throughout the day. The wraps use a Caesar salad kit, canned chickpeas, and additional ingredients such as chicken and salad for a quick, flavorful meal. The turkey pinwheels, made with pesto, deli turkey, cheddar, arugula, and roasted red peppers, are a snack-style option that provides around 30 grams of protein. The pasta salad is another quick and easy option, offering about 35 grams of protein when paired with grilled chicken or salmon. Lastly, the barbecue-ranch bean salad, with its smoky, crunchy, and plant-based protein, provides about 20 grams of protein per serving and stays crisp in the fridge for several days.",
