Reach Your Goals: Healthy Work Lunches
When you write out your personal goals, what tops the list? Eating healthier and saving money are some of the most popular New Year’s resolutions. And here at HDco, we’re big believers in achieving the things that are important to you. If you’re trying to hit either (or both!) of these goals, your office lunchbox is a good place to start. Here are some healthy work lunches that will leave your stomach, and your wallet, feeling full and happy.
1. Chickpea curry
This chickpea curry is vegan, full of healthy ingredients and takes less than 15 minutes to make. The most effort it requires is tracking down a curry powder, but after that it’s a no-brainer. We recommend mixing it with rice and packing it for lunch all week long!
2. Apple, walnut and feta salad
Salads get a bad reputation, but this one is anything but bland. Full of fruit, veggies and yummy cheese, this is a meal you’ll look forward to eating. It requires no cooking yet will fill you up, and it would easily cost $12 at a restaurant. Make it at home for a healthy and inexpensive lunch.
3. Ground turkey sweet potato skillet
Sweet potatoes are a superfood, and turkey is a healthier alternative to ground beef. When you throw them in skillet together, you have a delicious and filling meal that makes for great microwavable lunches.
4. Chicken salad
Chicken salad is a classic, although often overlooked, lunch option. This recipe is lighter than your average chicken salad, but it tastes so good that you’d never know. It’s also versatile; you can eat it on its own, put it on your favorite whole-wheat bread or turn it into lettuce wraps.
5. Avocado, turkey and lettuce wrap
Sometimes, turning on the stove sounds like too much work. And that’s okay! But it doesn’t mean you have to give into the expensive takeout options near your office. The ingredients may already be in your fridge (avocado, turkey, hummus, cheese and veggies) and these wraps take no time to assemble.
