Salads With a Twist
Salads are everyone’s go-to lunch that’s easy to prepare, pack, and finish during your lunch break. But it’s time to say “No” to dull plates of green and incorporate more rewarding ingredients. An Italian-inspired salad with figs, prosciutto, and goat cheese might seem crazy initially, but it’s worth a try.
You can also add some pasta in your green beans and tomato salad, like gnocchi, or pop your chicken-curry salad onto a piece of whole-wheat bread to make a sandwich.
Soups
Soups are an easy way to ingest some nutrients and keep you full until you finish work. Switch normal noodles with zucchini strips to make a healthy version of chicken noodle soup, or mash some avocados to make creamy avocado goodness with a lot of spices, seeds, and greens.
Healthy Burgers
Burgers are usually associated with greasy patties, additives, and little veggies that provide no nutrition whatsoever. Well, what if you knew that your burgers could be made with healthy ingredients that won’t leave you feeling stuffed and full of regret?
Try a tuna burger with wasabi mayo that’s packed with omega-3 acids and protein. If you’re not a fan of fish, you can go for a turkey or grilled chicken burger.
Meatballs
Meatballs don’t sound like a healthy recipe, but they’re actually a great meal option for carrying around. Furthermore, you can use lean meats like chicken or turkey and stuff your lunch box with veggies on the side. You can also throw the meatballs into a soup to make a light and delicious Italian-style meatball soup.
