Healthy and Very Quick Lunches

Lunch is that meal that breaks up the day.  For people in the work place it is time to relax and perhaps chat with friends and get refreshed before heading back to work. 

Lunch for those of us who work at home  is time to get off the computer or whatever work we are involved; and get some nourishment and a short break.  Many do not want to take a long time for lunch nor spend time in the kitchen,  so here are some very quick ideas to nourish your body and get a healthy dose of vitamins and minerals to ensure your healthy eating.

Sometimes when are very busy we can reach for a cookie, a piece of cheese or just about anything to stave off the hunger and get back to work. It is always a good idea to keep a range of healthy and easy to fix  food when you are really busy and do not want to take time for lunch.
