Interesting lunch ideas for work
Anyone got any. I'm bored to death and sick of cheese or egg sandwiches.
I'm veggie which makes it harder but I want something that's interesting. I did a few months of making soups but I'm bored of that now. I want something hopefully low calorie that is quick and easy to make. Avoiding if possible pasta salads because I eat a lot of pasta as a main evening meal. Ingredients that are easy to source and fairly cheap would also be good and something that I can knock up in under 20 mins (only get 30 mins lunch and refuse to spend longer cooking/preparing it than eating it). What does everyone else eat for lunch at work? |

What I use to do was to make my own museli and have that for lunch. A little unusual perhaps! A big batch can be made fairly easily and cheaply too. You can Google some good recipes. The museli can be varied with different nuts, dried fruit etc and jazzed up with natural yoghurt perhaps.

do you have a microwave at work ?
If so then batch cook stews, casseroles, curries, soups, chilli, etc. Freeze into portions and take out of the freezer the night before and its ready to microwave by lunchtime the next day. If you are trying to eat healthy then cut out those white carbs, bread, pasta, potato, rice |

I take lots of bits of leftovers, or sometimes a giant salad. My current favourite is a giant salad with quinoa or cous cous, especially that giant Israeli cous cous, that works well. And yoghurt with a pot of fruit or nuts or both to tip in it. And carrot sticks with hummous.

I take avocados or grapefruit to work for lunches.
