These days it seems in a hurry for lunch, thrown together, and overlooked in terms of its importance. Many of us get stuck in the rut of the same thing every day - every day. However, the food does not have to be that way, and definitely do not need that fast food or salads of lettuce or boring. With a little planning and some creative ideas for all family members can have a big lunch every day of the week, even on a budget.Do not forget the vegetables! It's no secret that most Americans do not enough servings of vegetables a day to maintain a healthy balance. Vegetables are great for lunch and can be included every day without looking like a carrot, I promise.
While the carrot sticks are large and delicious, they can get if you are tired to be included in the lunch box every day. Mix it up using some other vegetables in place. Other vegetables, great lunch are the stalks celery, cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, broccoli, cabbage salad and other vegetables slaws. (I like broccoli, carrots and pico salad coleslaw instead of traditional)
Of course, then comes the fruit vegetables in the search for easy to carry food for lunch. An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but sometimes you want something a little different. Bananas, oranges, plums, nectarines, blueberries, pears, peaches, pineapple and all make great fruit for lunch. Browse the product section and take a look at what is fresh and in season rather than grab the first thing to come, which is usually apples and bananas.
