3 Lunches

If you aren’t still trying to get the oatmeal scraped from the bottom of your pans – you may be ready for some lunch options

I like the following – if you have other suggestions, please feel free to post a comment and share.

1. Happy Meal

Not the McDonalds variety – but one that gives you a mid-day boost. Mix chopped endives in a bowl with some chopped cooked chicken cubes, mandarin slices, walnuts  and chopped gherkins. Add a little olive oil and lemon juice plus a teaspoon of honey. Mix and enjoy!

2. Lunch pack

For those days when you are on the road but still want to make sure you enjoy a healthy meal. Two slices of brown bread (rye is a good alternative if you cannot find spelt), spread one slice with a teaspoon of lo-cal mayonaise (if you want it lower in calories, mix a little mayo with some yoghurt, it adds a nice flavour too), top with some arugula, two slices of smoked ham and toasted pine kernels. Press other slice on top to secure the layers in place.

3. Power Lunch

Simply put together but with all the nutrients you need to stay alert during the afternoon – assemble some raw baby carrots, rolls of smoked turkey, 1 gherkin and half an avocado on a plate. In the middle, add a small pile of lettuce and dress with a mix of honey, mustard, olive oil and lemon for flavour. If you like, add some walnuts to the lettuce – great brainfood. This power lunch contains a lot of omega 3, so you won’t need to take a supplement that day!

Enjoy!
