Bringing lunch to work is a great way to help save money, and watch your waistline, but with our busy lifestyles we often lack time and inspiration to organise a homemade nutritious lunch. We've put together some ideas we hope will inspire you.
Try adding a meat source, swapping pasta for quinoa or replacing vinaigrettes for pesto if you want to make variations. If you've ever felt sick of eating the same thing over and over, changing the veggies can give an old overused recipe new life!
The great thing about oven recipies is that you can easily make large quanities of food and make lunch for days in one go!
Putting a meal in a mason jar might sound strange but they're a great way to control your portion size and transport food. You'll never have to worry about getting mince juice through your bag or car again.
Cooking in a crock pot is a slow process, but the good thing is that the process is so slow and the heat is so low that you could run a bunch of errands while your food looks after itself.
Hopefully we've shown that being busy doesn't have to affect your wallet and your waistline, and ideally we've inspired you to pack a lunch or two next week!
