Lunch Ideas

Here are some ideas for lunches away from home:

• Smoothies (a thermos is good for this)
• Salads w sprinkles/dressings (you can have the dressing separately to add at the last moment- I use a baby jam jar)
• Fruit (harder ones tend to be safer)
• Dried Fruit
• Nuts
• Cooked veggies (cold or hot)
• Raw veggies- find ones you like raw! (my faves are mushrooms, carrots, broccoli etc)
• Left overs from last nights dinner (aka anything that tastes good cold- like beans/rice/pasta)
• Soup (again the thermos comes in handy here)
• Tofu with herbs/stock powder sprinkled over (tofu doesn't need to be cooked and can be eaten cold!)
• Beans/lentils (if you're ever in a pinch a can of chickpeas can be a lifesaver!)
• Brown rice/Quinoa/Pasta- sprinkle it with spices/herbs and it's yum
• Sandwiches
• Dips with veggie sticks
• Sweet potato/baked potato
• Muesli (depending on where you are there's usually milk in the fridge or it doesn't taste half bad with juice or water)... I know this one sounds strange but hubby loves it! I made him a tropical fruit/coconut/almond muesli and he got addicted!

Anything that takes time I will prep/cook the night before (it's usually some form of the previous nights dinner) But if I'm in a rush I'll grab the easy stuff like raw veg, fruit and a can of chickpeas. If I ever forget my lunch I'll just grab some veggies from the supermarket- there always seems to be one in walking distance! 
Hope I could give you some healthy ideas to help you avoid the junk! enjoy! xxx
