What do you LOVE to eat for lunch - that tastes good and IS good for you? I'd love to see pictures or recipes, if anyone is willing to share as well. I'm pretty good about making a balanced dinner, but for some reason I have the toughest time balancing my lunches. Like today, for instance. I had a really GOOD lunch, and it was a healthy meal - but it was lacking any protein. So I'm gonna have to boost my protein during my late-afternoon snack to make up for it! Other days I'll do okay with the protein, but there'll be just tons of carbs. So what do you do that you LIKE to eat?!? Here was my lunch today - Fresh strawberries and a serving (9 pieces) of cheese flavored mini rice-cakes, with a garden salad full of mixed greens, garlic & onion sprouts, salad onions, cherry tomatoes, baby portabella mushrooms, carrot sticks & French dressing. (I like a LOT of colors/textures in my salads!) To drink I had a huuuge glass of peach iced tea. In retrospect, I suppose I could have tossed some sunflower seeds or walnuts on top of the salad. Darn, and that would have been good too! Anyway, what are your favorite lunches? love, mom
I wish I hadn't eaten my lunch already, or else I would have taken a picture. A flax tortilla wrap with hummus, shredded carrots, sprouts, cucumbers, and roasted red pepper.
Wow that looks loverly! really colourful. I tend to eat a lot of pasta and rice with lot's of vegetables.
Lunches are always very quick for me, i only get a short lunch break from work...so usually some sandwiches are thrown together, or a big salad But if i had more time...hmm, actually, a few days ago my fiancé made the most wonderful vegan pizza...topped with cheez, mushrooms, peppers, red onion, usual kinds of stuff. We had that with those little chickpea balls, whatre they called? And mini soysage rolls Ill have to have a bigger think later
Yeah, them! Thanx! I only encountered them when he made that lovely pizza meal (even though ive been vegan for years)...i was tired and couldnt pronounce it, so just called them "fafafafa's" Ignorance or what
My lunch is usually a salad, a sandwhich, or some random leftovers that I have around. I don't eat much and am cheap as fuck so its usually just one of the different foods I have laying around.
think i'm gonna make myself some lentil, carrot, tofu, mushroom, garlic soup. i've been craving carrots and lentils.
hummus on crackers/rye crisp breads vegetables soup of some description leftovers pasta salad http://veganlunchbox.blogspot.com/ is great for ideas.
