If you follow me on Instagram you’ll know I love a packed lunch.  Bringing lunch to work saves me money and keeps me healthy. But not everyone feels they can do this.  We’re all super busy and making your own lunch can sometimes seem like another job to fit into an already over-packed schedule.  I get it – no judgement.  We’re all just doing our best.  That’s why for this week’s blog post I thought it might be fun to share some of my go-to lunchbox ideas from the blog via my Lunchbox Round Up.  Let’s get cracking!

One of the places people have the most trouble when trying eat better is lunch.  I can totally relate.  Not being a morning person the last thing I want to worry about is creating a culinary masterpiece to take to work.  Besides, there are more important jobs like making sure the kid’s sorted for his day and de-zombifying myself (told you, not a morning person 🙂 ). That’s where my Vegan Waldorf Salad Wrap comes in handy.  Each component is easy to prep ahead of time and keeps well in the fridge.  A delicious and satisfying lunch in a pinch for several days in a row.

Vegan Tuna Wrap

This whole vegetarian thing I’ve been doing lately has been a real trip.  No, not because I’m discovering new and obscure super expensive foods to cook with, but because it’s helped me use everyday ordinary foods in ways I never would have imagined.  Take my Vegan Tuna Wrap for example.  If you had told me 12 months ago I’d be making myself vegan tuna for lunch I would have laughed in your face.

Brown Rice and Chickpea Lunchbox

I have a confession to make.

I used to be judge-y about brown rice.  In fact, the mere mention of brown rice was enough to make me cringe.   Everywhere I looked people were swapping white rice for brown. “What’s wrong with white rice?  The Japanese have been eating it for centuries,”  I would wonder.
