Healthy school lunch options that do not need to stay cold?




as;lgkj0q2


There is no refrigeration, and I bring my lunch in a paper bag, so it's not in any sort of chilled lunchbox. I don't eat until around 12:30, so what could I bring besides pb&j everyday lol Thanks!


Answer
Most things that do not need heating up should work.

Any type of sandwiches, think turkey, lowfat cheese, lettuce, and/or tomato on whole grain bread. However, make sure that you keep the bread separate from the rest of the ingredients or else it would get soggy by lunchtime. Also, if you like, you can use those little packets of ketchup/mayo/mustard from fast food places if you need it (I would suggest mustard as it is the healthiest).

Tuna salad sandwich or egg salad sandwich would also work, but remember to keep the bread separate until right before you eat it. You can add lettuce, tomatoes, and/or cucumbers on top of these sandwiches for extra flavor.

You can also get little bags of baby carrots/ cut up celery/ grape tomatoes, some pita bread and hummus. Dip the veggies and pita bread in the hummus and you have a filling and healthy snack. Oh and you can buy the hummus and pita bread at the store premade and sometimes packaged together.

Another good option is a yogurt (it won't go bad) and an apple or any other fruit. You can add flax to the yogurt to make it more filling. Flax is sort-of like cereal, but usually in the nut isle at the grocery store.

If you have plastic throw-away containers you can get a salad topped off with nuts, cranberries, and a bit of cheese. The cranberries add such a good taste that you might not even need dressing with that.

And don't forget things like granola bars (you can even make them at home by just googling some recipes for more healthy options), low cal jello, trail mix snacks, and fruit salad cups.

Hope that helps a little.

What are some healthy foods/snacks I can pack and eat at college?

I'm going to college in the fall and I don't want to eat on the dollar menu everyday in between classes. I want some healthy cheap snacks I can keep in a lunchbox that can fill me up. Any fast vegetable recipes or other foods / snacks I can pack up???

THANKS
