Making a packed lunch for yourself or your children everyday can get really dull! To liven it up a bit, here are a few suggestions of foods to include which are tasty and nutritious and you just might not have thought of…
Pack a mini-salad. If a salad alone is not enough to fill you up then compliment your sandwich with a tasty side dish. Go for simple cucumber and tomato or add some extras like avocado or peppers.
Get your vegetable intake up. Veggies are a great way to fill up and give energy, and eaten raw they retain all their natural nutrients. Try grated carrot with raisins or beetroot simply on its own – have the Fairy Liquid on standby however as it stains like mad!
Five a day. Make sure you include foods which contribute to your 5 a day count. Fresh squeezed juice, a piece of fruit or how about natural yogurt with berries added to it.
Avoid the bread. If bread makes you feel bloated then switch to wraps or pittas instead to stave off hunger. Cold pasta or rice salad is another great alternative.
Super soup. Home made soup packed with healthy ingredients is easy to transport in a flask and is great for dieters and the health conscious. Warm and filling, soup can match your mood from chicken broth to curried veg!
Go for quick meals. If you work from home or can get to a proper kitchen then how about a jacket potato with a variety of toppings. Easy to pop in the oven and no time at all to plate up.
Left over central. In cold weather a hot meal at lunchtime is very welcome so if you have access to a microwave then why not use up your dinner leftovers the following day.
