This is the first post in my new "100 Days of Real Food Tips" series. Enjoy! Think Beyond the Sandwich Bread... Rolled up whole-wheat tortillas filled with: Cream cheese, thin cucumber slices, and dill Goat cheese and roasted red bell peppers (sold as pimentos) Peanut butter* and banana slices Sunflower butter* and all-fruit spread (similar to jelly) Egg salad Hummus, cheese, and grated carrots *Easiest to spread when the tortilla is warm...don't forget the fun toothpicks!
Save the $7 you'd spend on a sandwich from a local deli, and bring your own delicious, home-cooked lunch. All these meals are less than 500 calories and won't cost you a dime!
These healthy lunch recipes all clock in at $3 or less per serving. Let's face it: constantly shelling out cash for prepared food you could have made for less money at home (often healthier too) gets old fast. But a healthy lunch doesn't have to be expensive.
There are few brown-baggers in the building where I work. This is not because the food in the neighborhood is so great (it isn't), or because the cafeteria is Google-like (it isn't), but because many people are either "too busy" or too embarrassed to bring their lunch.
