A HEALTHY WORKING LUNCH

It’s not my usual Friday post but I thought today i’d share a healthy lunch idea, something I love and make myself when I can but also something that’s easy to take into work and eat in the office if you have a little prep time the night before.

I always try and have a healthy lunch during the week, as no matter what my intentions my dinners are always a bit of a feast. I love cooking to unwind from work and so I always end up making something special of my evening meal. It’s also the time Jase and I get to spend together during the week so it’s nice to have dinner together.

Lunch times used to be pretty easy when my office was based in Covent Garden, i’d have a million healthy options on my doorstep and I always had a super tasty but healthy lunch (usually sushi, freshly tossed salad or some kind of thai dish). Since i’ve moved jobs and offices to the other side of the river, doubled with a mental work load the last few months, taking time out to go to find a healthy lunch stop is more difficult, and I end up eating on the go or grabbing something from wherever is most convenient, which inevitably ends up being a sarnie or something less healthy.

One of my favourite healthy lunches which I often make myself if I am working from home (which I did this week for a couple of days) is ryvita topped with tuna and crushed avocado. Super tasty and equally as healthy. It’s a favourite workday lunch of mine and so quick to prepare. After getting a taster for this sort of lunch again this week, i’ve decided it’s about time I prepared a packed lunch and took these into work. My plan is to prep some tuna and sweetcorn, as well as some crushed avocado (my favourite) the night before, stock up on Ryvita’s at work, and every day no matter how busy I am, have a tasty and healthy lunch available for me.

The finishing touch is a good cuppa tea and a glass of coco vita (thankfully we have these at work) … this is my go to drink for quick hydration. I often forget to drink water when I get busy (naughty I know) so coconut water is a quick way to ensure i’m not getting too dehydrated.
