Wraps
bagels
pitta bread
crispbread with a pot of Low-fat soft cheese
- all make a change from traditional sliced bread.

If you've got a kettle to hand, Cup-a-Soup and perhaps chunky fresh bread

Salads - homemade with pasta, beans or rice

Soup in a flask

I don't think I dare post it again.

Edit: what the hell, it's been a few months.

I can totally vouch for this by the way. I bought one of these lunchboxes a couple of months, after being completely inspired by Elanor's pictures, and it is great.

I was recently working 09-00-17:00 instead of my usual shifts. Rather than take sandwiches I took the following:-

Cous Cous mixed with finely diced cucumber, cherry tomatos, pepper, and coriander. I also drizzled a little Blue Dragon sweet chilli sauce over it.

Other days i would take crudites with a small pot of humus or philidelphia.

Both can be prepared the night before

Hubby likes a couple of cooked chicken bits, tomato, pepper and a little pot of either mayonnaise or mango chutney to dip it in.

For afters he has something like a little plastic tub with some blueberries or chopped strawberries and a pot of his current favourite yoghurt.

Yes, I usually do them the night before, either as I'm doing my evening meal, or a bit later on. With wraps I only ever have one - sometimes if it's got lots in, cut into two, or if it's got the chick pea pate stuff in and is thin, then sliced into bite sized bits (which is when it looks like a whole compartment full).

elanor, i have another question do you warm some of your food up in work or eat it all cold?

do you do normal 9-5? if so, does your lunch keep you filled up till you leave work?

I rarely heat it up, although I do sometimes, if I feel like it. But I like cold pasta stuff and cold roast veg.

I just keep my lunch box in my drawer at work, and it's always fine at lunch time. Depending what I have in there, I sometimes stick an ice block in the bag with it just to keep it cool, but not usually. I do keep it in the fridge overnight after I've made it, and it's usually just right by the time I get to lunch time.
