“There are many ways to adjust recipes that still preserve the essence of the dish.” For instance, you might switch out quinoa for wild rice, turn the components of a salad into a sandwich, or choose a different variety of veggie that's in season where you live. “I think of recipes as a guide or inspiration,” Cara Harbstreet, M.S., R.D., L.D., of Street Smart Nutrition, tells SELF. That way, you get a balanced variety of textures and flavors to please your palate, along with different nutrients to provide you with a steady stream of energy, Jones says.Īnother thing that's always helpful to have in mind with bringing easy, healthy lunch ideas to life is that you shouldn't fear making substitutions or tweaking recipes to suit you-including your taste preferences, budget, time constraints, dietary needs, and access to certain ingredients. Generally speaking, a filling meal usually has three or four food different groups (fat, protein, starch, and fruits/vegetables), SELF columnist Jessica Jones, M.S., R.D., certified diabetes educator and cofounder of Food Heaven, tells SELF. While there are a few factors surrounding what makes a lunch meal healthy for you as an individual-more on that below-the first is making sure your meal will be satisfying and balanced. (Think: cooking rice ahead of time for an instantaneous grain bowl, swapping homemade salsa for store-bought in a zesty taco meal, or baking sheet-pan batches of veggies on Sunday to use in your salads and sandwiches.) And, of course, it's also helpful to choose a healthy lunch recipe that is actually realistic and exciting for you to make. You can often get away with just a few minutes of work to fix yourself a good, healthy lunch-it just requires thinking ahead, picking up a few clutch items on your regular grocery shopping trip, taking some clever shortcuts, or doing some healthy meal prep. Yes, they do take a little more work and planning than a ham-and-cheese or can of soup, but not necessarily a ton of active cooking time. The truth is, there are so many homemade lunch ideas and healthy lunch recipes that will satisfy both your cravings and appetite without torpedoing your busy workday. Whether you work from home or in an office, finding a moment to whip up anything beyond a PB&J may feel like a miracle when you're juggling what feels like one million different tasks at once. We bet you won’t even miss the meat.įor more lunch inspiration, check out our lists of soups and salads too.Finding tasty, healthy lunch ideas that you actually have the time to make can sometimes feel easier said than done. So we’ve included some EPIC vegetarian and vegan sandwiches here too, like our tofu bahn mi, our Italian sub, or our baked falafel sandwich. After a particularly heavy dinner or breakfast (we see you bacon, egg, and cheese) sometimes we all could go for some lighter, meatless fare for lunch. If we could dream it, we made it!Īnd don’t worry, these aren’t all focused on meat. And don’t even get us started on our grilled cheeses- we’ve got every version you could possibly think of, from sloppy joe to chicken parm. We take our Cuban next level by marinating our slow cooked pork loin in a citrusy marinade for 2 hours plus- it takes some patience, but believe us, it’s worth it. Our chicken salad sandwich has red onion, celery and green apple for crunch, while mustard, mayo, and red wine vinegar add creaminess with the perfect amount of tang. Our BLT, for example, is made with bacon brushed with maple syrup and cayenne and mayo spiced with chili powder and paprika. We’ve got all the classics you know and love, though we’ve put some extra special spins on them to help elevate your sandwich game. Check out our list of 82 sandwiches that’ll get you excited about the midday meal again.ĭid you know you can shop for all the ingredients for these recipes with the click of a button?
