s/o Accountability - Favorite Lunches?

ClaireDunphy · March 2011

I bring my lunch to work almost every day & I'm bored. I'm trying to get more variety in my lunches. What are your favorite healthy lunch options? No Lean Cuisines or frozen crap as I'm trying to eat cleaner.

I like to make big batches of grain/veggie salads and bring them along with a yogurt and fruit.

Here are some of my favorites, i always add a can of beans to them too when i make them for lunch for added protein.

I've been bringing a spinach salad with sliced almonds, strawberries and sometimes fat free feta or blue cheese. I also bring a Chobani Greek yogurt and a piece of fruit if I have it. I need more protein so I'll be checking out Ashlee's links.

I usually just bring a sandwhich of whatever lunch meat we bought that week w/some cheese and spinach leaves. Not too exciting... On Sunday I made a big piece of salmon w/ roasted peppers and a citrus relish. We had leftovers so I threw all of that over some spinach yesterday & made a very good salad. I almost always have greek yogurt w/cut up fruit (usually a pear.) I also frequently bring the snack size tubs of hummus w/carrots & sugar snaps. I think I'm going to have to try out some of Ashlee's recipes. I'm getting bored as well.

ps - sorry if it seems like i'm whoring out my blog. i just freaking love grain/veggie/bean salads. they're so healthy, full of whole grain and protein, etc. whole foods has a ton on their recipe finder as well if you search there.

i'm also a big hummus and veggie fan, i pack that for lunch often, too.

Agreed. Plus, I don't have to actually search for recipes if you post links.
