EATING FOR A HEALTHY HEART
Packed Lunch Ideas
When preparing packed lunches, you need to think about variety and taste as
well as nutritional value.
A flask of home-made soup with a granary roll makes a tasty, warming and
filling packed lunch.
Give old favourite sandwich fillings a new lease of life by using unusual
breads - pitta breads or rolls with different textures. Excellent healthy
fillings include turkey, chicken, tuna, lean meats and cheeses like cottage
cheese, Edam or Cheddar alternative made with sun-flower oil, and fruit. Salad
items can be included with all these.
Other useful items for packed lunches are pots of low-fat yogurt, cartons of
pure fruit juice, pieces of fresh fruit, and packets of dried fruit and nuts.
