5 easy to prepare healthy lunch meals

What to carry for lunch is one of those dreadful questions that most of us hate to think about. Especially for working people, lunch is one of the most important meals of your day that you can’t take for granted.

Many people these days are consuming unhealthy greasy fast food for lunch because they don’t have enough time to prepare their lunch meals in the morning.

But the thing to keep in mind is that these fast foods are one of the reasons why you always feel tired and lethargic.

So how do you tackle these worries? The best solution is to start getting into the habit of preparing healthy lunch options and packing them for office.

Now, you might be wondering how you can manage to get up early every day and prepare food. The good news is that these meals are so easy to prepare that they will hardly take about 10 minutes every day.

Here are some quick, healthy lunch options that you should consider preparing:

  • Quinoa Salad:

    Who said that healthy lunch options need to be bland and gross? Quinoa salad is delicious, refreshing, and healthy all at the same time. The best thing about this salad is that it is easy to make and hardly takes few minutes. While you keep the quinoa for cooking, in one bowl mix all the veggies, you want to put in the salad. Some of the veggie options to consider are cucumber, bell peppers, chickpeas, and onions. In a bowl mix the quinoa and the veggies well and then add olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar and anything that qualifies as a nice salad dressing.

  • Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad Sandwich:

    All you need is some leftover chicken, greek yogurt, and bread slices. In a large bowl, dump the chicken, lots of veggies and fruits like bell peppers, onions, apples, grapes, and berries. After this, add a generous amount of Greek yogurt and a spoon or two of lemon juice according to your taste. Your sandwich stuffing is ready. Use this filling and prepare your sandwiches without any hassle.

  • Burrito bowl:

    The burrito bowl is easier, healthier, and much tastier than regular Chipotle that you are tired of. Prepare rice in a saucepan and while you are doing so, prepare the chipotle cream sauce that would go with the topping. Whisk together sour cream, chipotle pastes, some lime juice, or vinegar. Now, pack your rice in your lunch box and pour the cream sauce on top of it. You can add some lettuce, beans, and avocado to make the meal healthier.

  • Green club Sandwich:

    Nothing is as easy as making sandwiches and packing them for lunch. Toast some whole grain bread and nicely add sliced vegetables like tomatoes, avocado, and some olives. If you feel like cheating, you can add some cheese slices to the sandwiches. Add some hummus and season the sandwiches with black pepper to make it more delicious.

  • Chicken Avocado Wraps:

    This is one of the best healthy lunch options to consider. It takes less than 10 minutes to fix this one. All that you need is some cooked chicken slabs, tortillas, and some sliced veggies. If you want to save more time, then you can freeze them the night before and simply heat them at your workplace.
