Envious of those who work in an office and meet at trendy, delicious restaurants for lunch every day? Unable to find the time to create a nutritious but inspiring lunch at home while you wade through paperwork? There’s no need to whip out cutting boards, heavy pots, pans and a bevy of ingredients in order to spice up your lunches from home. A little creativity and focus on what you love to eat (and what loves your body too) will help you mix up the humdrum mid-afternoon meal routine.
Examine what you’ve been eating. Find that you feel exhausted and in need of a nap after lunch or do your lunches leave you wanting, needing something else?
- Identify foods that you love and make you feel good. Have that “go to” food you like to eat for lunch but find that it’s become a little too ordinary? You can still have your turkey (or spinach or lentils) for lunch but kick it up a notch. List everything you love to eat for lunch in order to enhance the menu.
