I was wondering what ideas we might be able to come up with for interesting, healthy packed lunches. Personally i am interested in lunches which don't require any reheating as its a pain to get to the nearest microwave, not to mention a long line up. Any ideas are welcome!

They are a blend of rice, potato and vegetables. The brand name is: Flat Earth IMPOSSIBLY GOOD Baked Veggie Crisps and they have 1/2 Serving of Real Vegetables in Every Ounce! OH and they taste, MMM good!

You could use cooked leftover chicken breast, sandwich meat, egg etc. , some lettuce, other thinly sliced veggies etc, with a low cal dressing of your choice - the possibilities are endless. Tuck the ends in burrito style to keep things neat. Edited by NicC, Sep 24 2008, 09:12 PM.

If the tomato isnt firm, it doesnt go on my sandwich!
