A healthy lunch can start with a yummy sandwich!

Make a Healthy Sandwich

When making a healthy sandwich, remember these things:
  • Choose whole grain bread. Also make sure that it contains more than 2 grams of fiber per serving. You can use pita bread, bagels, wraps, or sandwich bread.
  • Add lots of veggies - lettuce, tomato, cucumber, shredded carrots, avocado, etc.
  • You can also make fillings out of tofu, beans, etc. For example tofu egg salad or bean spread.
  • Other fillings include hummus, peanut butter and fruit spreads, grilled tofu or tempeh.
  • Make homemade ketchup, plant-based mayonnaise or salad dressings for your sandwiches out of healthier ingredients.

Soup is easy and delicious!

Make a Pot of Soup

If you have a thermos or a microwave, making a delicious soup is a great option. Soup is easy and you can make a big pot that you can eat from all week. Make sure you add protein to it (beans, tofu, etc.), so it keeps you feeling full.

Another option if you have access to a microwave is to bring healthy leftovers for your lunch.
Make sure you pack your lunch with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Fruits and veggies are full of antioxidants, nutrients, and vitamins!

Add Fruits and Veggies

Make sure you pack your lunch with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Fresh celery, bell peppers, cucumbers, broccoli, cauliflower, raw zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and carrots are great options by themselves or with a hummus dip. Fresh fruit is a great healthy dessert option.
