Healthy Quick Lunches for Busy People

For busy people sometimes lunch is the forgotten meal.  If you go to work you may just pull out an apple or half a sandwich and chomp down quickly.  If you work at home you may get so engrossed in your work you forget about eating.  The worst thing about not eating is you will get a hunger attack at around 3PM and possibly  head for a coke or left over cookies.  

If you are lucky enough to have a fridge at work why not pack a quick healthy lunch.  Make sure to make it  the night before especially if the norming is a rush affair tending to your usual morning jobs.  

Here is a favorite recipe and it is delicious, and to boot filled with with vitamins and minerals.

Blend in the blender 1 cup of full fat cottage cheese, 1/4 cup each of chopped celery, red sweet peppers and cilantro.  Add 1/2 teaspoon each of oregano, basil, thyme and black pepper.

Blend the ingredients well and add salt to taste.  Put in a plastic container and pop in the fridge.   Add a piece of fresh fruit and you have a healthy quick lunch. Don’t forget to pack a fork.

This lunch works well at home also.

I love deviled eggs and rarely make them, but they really make a healthy quick lunch.  As with the other recipes make them the night before so they are ready to eat.  

Boil  about 4 eggs until done (about 20 minutes)  This recipe is good for two days solo or you can have them ready for two people.  Cool the eggs and slice in half 

 Mash up the yolks with a teaspoon of mayonnaise,  Add more mayo until the mixture is smooth.  Add a pinch or two of garlic powder, basil, cumin, salt and pepper

Fill the shells and chill until the next day.  Serve with tomato and avocado slices.

These easy  recipes are also low in calories and will keep you from getting hungry the rest of the day.
