For me if lunch is not leftovers from dinner and it’s not a simple salad, then its usually rice cakes. I like that compared to a sandwich you can get into your body more ‘good bits’ like veggies, protein and good fats and less starchy carbs (three rice cakes contains the amount of carbohydrates equivalent to one slice of bread). Here are some of my favourite combos:
- Cream cheese, tomato and avocado
- Cream cheese, tomato and basil leaves
- Avocado, turkey and tomato
- Roast beef, crisp lettuce and cheese
- Ham, cheese and tomato
- Smashed avocado, cheese and cucumber slices
- Hummus, avocado, tomato, salt and chilli powder
- Cottage cheese, crisp lettuce, smoked salmon, chopped dill
- Cottage cheese, sliced gherkins, ham and sliced tomato
- Tomato relish, cheese, roast beef and cucumber slices
- Smashed avocado mixed with diced tomato, onion and tuna in spring water (drained)
I hope some of these can be a quick and healthy lunch option for you too. Let me know if you have any other great combos – I’d love to give them a try!
