Ossie-Sharon 10 years ago | Hi, grosman12. The following are some of the most popular options: • Fresh and dried fruit • Cut raw vegetables • Oven-baked vegetable chips • Nuts and seeds • Trail mix combinations of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit • Sandwiches – good breads with nut butters, hummus and similar spreads, tahini, canned or smoked fish, cheese, homemade “cold cuts” from fresh meats, egg salad, etc. • Whole grain or Paleo crackers plus any of the above • Hard-boiled eggs • Sliced or string cheese • Cottage cheese • Yogurt • Milk (dairy or vegetal), plain or flavored with cocoa powder and a recommended sweetener • Hearty soup in a thermos (2-3 food groups, i.e. meat or legume, vegetable, whole grain) • Hearty smoothie/shake in a thermos (2-3 food groups, i.e. fruit/vegetable, dairy/vegan, seeds) • Edamame or other legume/pulse snacks • Whole grain or Paleo cereal or granola (cold in small sealable bag, cooked in thermos) • Canned beans • Prepared healthy foods in containers – from leftovers or prepared the night or weekend before. • Homemade whole-food muffins or bars • Popped grains, i.e. organic popcorn, sorghum, quinoa |
grosman12 10 years ago | I have joined today and am a little overwhelmed by the receipes and shopping. I am also a mother and don’t have a lot of time to cook as I work part time. Wondering if there is receipes that include not hot meals esp for lunch? Any ideas? |
