When I met with a nutritionist she said it's hard to beat a lean deli meat on whole wheat bread with veggies! Also - if you like tomatoes, slice a few tomatoes and put them in a tupperware with balsamic vinegar and mozarella cheese. Yum, yum!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/healthy-lunches-to-pack#post-512876 Mon, 30 Nov 2009 23:03:19 +0000 RecessionistaBride 512876@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>My favorite thing is&nbsp;a turkey salad... atleast thats what I call it! Lettuce (and whatever veggies I have on hand that won't go soggy)&nbsp;chopped turkey breast deli meat, slivered almonds, dried craberries &amp; a little oil and vinegar dressing. It's so easy &amp; fast, so I usually make this. </p> <p>I also always keep laughing cow cheese, yogurt and fresh fruit on hand. Hummus &amp; a red pepper is always delicious too! I don't even chop my peppers sometimes lol if I'm really lazy I'll just wash it &amp; bite it like an apple (and scoop out the seeds obviously!!) </p> <p>There are so many quick options available that are cheaper and sooo much healthier than eating out!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/healthy-lunches-to-pack#post-506656 Fri, 27 Nov 2009 09:34:42 +0000 iswimibikeirun 506656@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>You could make a light waldorf salad using yogurt instead of mayo. &nbsp;Make sure to include nuts and perhaps some chunks of baked chicken.</p> <p>Hummus is always good. &nbsp;You can make your own with 2 cans of drained chickpeas (reserve the liquid), 1/3 c tahini (sesame paste), 1/3 c lime juice, 6 t garlic. &nbsp;Just whirl the ingredients in a food processor, adding up to 1/2 c reserved chickpea juice to thin. &nbsp;Season with salt &amp; pepper. &nbsp;You can use it as the main ingredient in a sandwich, wrap, or pita, or as a sandwich spread. &nbsp;Or eat with toasted pita chips (I take my stale ones, use kitchen scissors and cut them into triangles and toast them in the oven at 300 to make them crisp) or veggies.</p> <p>Greek yogurt is also good--it's more filling because it has more protein in it.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/healthy-lunches-to-pack#post-506645 Fri, 27 Nov 2009 09:26:35 +0000 Gemstone 506645@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>What great ideas! Thanks so much bees. I will go grocery shopping this weekend and try to make some of those yummy, healthy, lunches!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/healthy-lunches-to-pack#post-498295 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:36:03 +0000 GaBGal 498295@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Along with a simple turkey sandwich I also love getting individual sized packs of almonds (we get ours at Trader Joes) or crackers. I also prefer Yoplait whipped yogurt. Yum!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/healthy-lunches-to-pack#post-498179 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:49:24 +0000 Sulli301 498179@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I love really simple sandwiches with 35 calorie a slice bread and reduced fat PB&amp;J ;)</p> <p>I also love laughing cow light cheeses with light crackers along with grapes, an apple or some dried fruits</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/healthy-lunches-to-pack#post-497356 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:07:33 +0000 ashleyjane 497356@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>bethenny frankel has a recipe for tofu salad that i love. its cheap, filling, healthy and yummy:)</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/healthy-lunches-to-pack#post-497355 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:07:20 +0000 SpinningJenny 497355@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I don't really have any further suggestions. I bring sandwiches, leftovers, or like today I had Wheat Thins with tuna and cheese on top. :P Not that great.</p> <p>I just wanted to say that those food containers are brilliant! And very specific. ^_^ I like how the breakfast container is for cereal/granola, milk/yogurt and fruit, And with the ice packs? That's such a good idea.</p>
