9 Healthy Lunches to Bring to Work
Quick question: When was the last time you took a real lunch break at work? We're talking an up-from-your-desk, unplugged break. Chances are you're usually hunched over your computer, mindlessly munching on a disappointing sandwich.
News flash: Not taking lunch is bad for business. The best way to motivate yourself to take a real break? A to-die-for brown-bagger, of course.
Citrus, Fennel and Avocado Salad
Take advantage of the season's brightest offerings with this light and refreshing salad.
Quinoa-Beet Cakes
Make a batch of these at the beginning of the week (they'll stay fresh in the refrigerator for three days), and pop one in the microwave for a great meatless option.
Falafel Salad with Spicy Yogurt Sauce
For a more filling salad, whip up this tangy creation made with store-bought or homemade falafel.
Homemade Sandwich Bread
Not a full lunch, per se, but the toppings aren't quite as important when they're paired with freshly baked bread.
Spinach Artichoke Pasta Salad
Carbs don't count when they're tossed with so many veggies, right?
Swanky BLT
This sandwich takes the classic BLT to the next level, swapping bacon for pancetta, white bread for sourdough, and raw tomatoes for balsamic-roasted ones.
Mini Bacon and Tomato Quiche
Who says brunch is limited to the weekend? Bake a batch of these delicious mini quiches on Sunday morning, then store the rest and reheat them throughout the week.
Avocado Toast
So simple yet so, so satisfying. Stick to the basics, or spice this baby up with add-ons like crumbled feta or toasted nuts and seeds.
Greek Salad Sandwich
A protein-packed Greek salad is reinvented as a more filling sandwich.
