What are some healthy, portable lunch ideas?

katie b

Starting in the fall, I will be in class from 9am to 4pm straight on a few days. I need ideas/recipes for lunches/snacks that I can make the night before and eat in class. A very important part of this is that these foods cannot be noisy or hard to eat so as to not disturb the rest of my class. Does anyone have any ideas?

Answer
-Soups
-Salads with carrots, cucumbers, onions, tomatos, olives, add chicken for protein!
-Sandwiches, like cold cuts, with lettuce, tomatoes, on rolls
-Wraps, use cold cuts like ham or even grilled chicken and lettuce, tomatos, on tortillas, and cut in half.
-cheese with fruits cut up and crackers
-fruit salad and sprinkle with lemon juice so it doesn't turn brown by the time you eat it. You won't taste the lemon!
-chicken fingers
-Any leftovers from the night before's dinner made into a sandwich. If you had a flank steak, add some argula and you have a great sandwich, have fried chicken, bring that, chicken cutlets, put that on bread with lettuce and tomatos and you have a great sandwich! You can always bring leftovers! If you made beef stew, keep it in a thermos like the soup and bring that, it's hearty and it's comfort food!
-pizza, you can bring a few slices with you.
-Egg salad in bowl or on a sandwich
-Tuna on a sandwich or tuna salad on sandwich or in a bowl
-Hard boiled eggs in a salad
-You can always bring like an antipasto, which is the cold cuts, some cheeses, lettuce, tomato, bread, etc, in a tupperware container with a fork, and just eat it as you please. Add some olives in it. It's VERY filling!
-Pasta salad


I hope some of these ideas help!

Easy vegetarian recipes?

Giovannaaa

Hi everyone. Im a sixteen year old female. I became a vegetarian around June of 09'. I thought that by cutting out meat/seafood/shellfish/nuts(i have a severe nut allergy), that i would be in better overall health. However, this is not the case. I think I became more of a junk food vegetarian. This is mostly due to the fact that im unsure of what foods I should be eating and msotly every night my family cooks with meat - they do not support my decision of becoming a vegetarian. Does anyone know easy recipes that I could make? Im talking very simple, but also healthy and good. Thanks!

Do you know of any drink recipie, main course and 2-3 side dish meal like this?

I appreciate it so much!

Answer
Healthy dinner? No problem! ;)

Here's a menu for a soup-sandwich combo! Start with Chilled Tomato Soup, next comes Turkey Veggie Wraps and a side of Tangy Coleslaw. Also included is a delicious smoothie recipe =)


Chilled Tomato Soup:
1/4 cup olive oil
3 cups peeled and thinly sliced onions
3 tablespoons thinly sliced garlic
2 bay leaves
4 pounds firm, heirloom tomatoes, cored, seeded, and cut into eighths
1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves
4 cups water
2 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Hot sauce

In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and bay leaves and cook for 5 more minutes. Add the tomatoes, 1 tablespoon salt, and thyme and cook for 15 minutes or until the tomatoes soften. Add the water and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and continue to cook until the tomatoes are very tender, about 10 minutes. Remove the bay leaves. Using a handheld blender, puree the soup until smooth. Chill the soup. Add 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and hot sauce to taste, as desired.

Turkey Veggie Wraps:
2 cups coarsely chopped smoked turkey breast (about 8 ounces)
2 cups gourmet salad greens
1/2 cup fresh corn kernels (about 1 ear)
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
3 tablespoons light ranch dressing
4 (8-inch) flour tortillas

Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl, tossing well to coat. Warm tortillas according to package directions. Top each tortilla with 1 cup turkey mixture; roll up. Cut each wrap in half diagonally.

Tangy Coleslaw:
Combine 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise, 1/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt, 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toss with half of a 16-ounce package cabbage-and-carrot coleslaw; cover and chill.

Yogurt n Fruit Smoothie:
2 cups fat-free milk
1 (8-ounce) container vanilla low-fat yogurt
1/2 cup thawed pineapple-orange juice concentrate
2 cups frozen strawberries
1 banana, coarsely chopped

Process all ingredients in a blender until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides. Serve immediately

Five minute healthy meals?

Angela

I am trying to compile healthy recipes for my mother for Christmas. One problem she has with eating healthy is she feels it takes too long (not saying I agree with her). She has health problems which have definitely been worsened by her diet. I really love her and have been trying to get her to eat healthy for years.

Another thing I am going to include is a list of foods that I can cook before she gets home, so that she doesn't have to worry about time.

She wants to eat healthy, but she just doesn't know how.

Does anyone have any ideas on fast meals that are also healthy? Some ideas I had were tuna sandwiches, soup, canned vegetables, baked potatoes, tacos, mashed potatoes, and fruit salad. I also included snacks, such as yogurt, bananas, apples, and carrots.

If anyone has any ideas or knows where I could find some recipes, I would be very happy to know.
Thanks, foodieNY, those are wonderful ideas :).
Human:
Are you saying salad, tuna sandwiches, baked potatoes, soup, and canned vegetables cannot make healthy meals?
Are you also saying that those three-minute, processed "diet" meals are actually healthy?
Kiwi:
Yes, I realize that preparation is very important to making foods healthy. I am thinking of also including some tips on how to make them healthier.

---

To be honest, even if she eats these foods in the less-healthy way, it would be better than the stuff she eats now.
And no, I do not mean just "low-fat."
Been There:
Thank you so much. Your answer is very useful.
I forgot about the lost vitamins thing. I think I will write a note about that.

Answer
Tuna sandwiches: are moderately healthy, especially if you use low-fat or non-fat mayonnaise and if you put lettuce on them. Don't eat tuna too often, not more than once a week, because of the high Mercury content.

Soup, if made from scratch is very healthy. If canned, most of the vitamins have been destroyed by the canning process. Same with eating canned vegetables. The healthiest way to eat vegetables is to eat them fresh and raw. Second healthiest is steaming fresh vegetables or cooking up frozen vegetables.

The healthy part of potatoes is the part right up against the outside skin. Most of the rest of the potato is quickly-digested starch. While it has some vitamins in it, the speed with which the starch goes into our bloodstream can be bad for our pancreas. Mashed potatoes, unless cook and mashed WITH the skin left on, are not very healthy at all.

Fruit is good, but canned fruit salad - like vegetables - has lost most of its vitamins.

Tacoes are relatively healthy, especially if packed with lettuce and tomato, and you go easy on the cheese (which is high in fat and salt).

Good 5-minute meals:
1. Microwaved instant oatmeal, with fresh berries and vanilla yogurt.
2. Whole wheat pita, sliced in half and opened into a pocket, stuffed with sliced chicken breast, sliced green pepper, sliced cucumber, sliced lettuce, and just a bit of low-fat Ranch salad dressing. Served with a cup of milk.
3. Scrambled eggs, buttered whole wheat toast, fresh sliced tomato, glass of milk. But don't eat eggs more than twice a week.

Generally, healthy eating should have daily portions of:
1. Protein: chicken, fish, peanut butter.
2. Oils and healthy fats. Cook with olive oil. Margarine. You don't need much of these, but you do need a bit every day. 10 almonds a day provide both oils and some protein. Raw walnuts have Omega 3 in them.
3. Whole grains: Brown bread, brown rice, brown basmati rice
4. Vegetables: raw fruit is the best.
5 Fruit. Not too much, it's high in sugar.
6. Milk and yogurt.

Stirfry is an excellent way to get good nutrition. I add chicken or shrimp for protein, although sometimes I will make a beef stir fry. I add whatever veggies I have on hand: broccoli, cauliflower, green pepper, carrot, celery, bok choy, cabbage, bean sprouts, garlic, onion, zucchini, mushrooms. And I serve it over brown rice. Sometimes I cook up rice noodles instead. Or both rice and rice noodles.

Your mother is an adult.
She needs to do what she needs to do .. this is how adults behave.
If she needs to eat properly, and if that takes more than 5 minutes to prepare, then she needs to take more than 5 minutes to make her meals.
This is not optional.
If she cannot or will not take care of herself, then she can no longer remain within her home and will have to go into assisted living.
The choice is hers.

Looking for cheap healthy recipes ideas?

Bridgette

I'm a sophmore college student living on my own, and between paying off student loans, car insurance, rent and everything else, there isn't much left over to buy healthy meals, and so unfortunately I buy whats cheap. Ramen noodles, macaroni and cheese, etc. The lifestyle has gotten to me a little bit as far as weight goes, and so I joined a gym yesterday ($10 a month) But I know it won't get better unless I eat better foods along with working out. Also, I can't really cook to save my life, so the more simplistic it is, the better. I'm open to most every kind of food, except seafood, I know fish is good for you..But its something about the smell.
Any ideas, would be and are much appreciated. Thank You!!

Answer
Honestly, learning to use your kitchen is best. But, understand if you just learn the basics of say: soup, salad, and sandwiches -- you're going to have THOUSANDS of quick, cheap, and easy meals on hand.

Soup. By far soup, even homemade, is cheap cheap cheap 5 bucks = 1 pot

Sandwiches too: go ahead and get the good bread/ meats/ cheese/ fixings -- because in the end they'll give you more nutrition and pleasure at a reasonable cost

Rotisserie chicken. Buy and shred: make tacos, make sandwiches, use over salads

Healthy winter foods?

Maia Dupui

It's now cold out and fruit doesn't exactly taste "in season". I like eating healthy so the chocolate snacks of winter don't exactly agree with me. Anyone have any healthy winter snack ideas? Recipes are welcome too.

Answer
Vegetable soup (light on the pasta) is always a healthy comfort food for cold days.

Warm bowl of Oatmeal with some raisins, or other dried or fresh fruit.
Peanutbutter with celery / carrots
Baked apples
Baked Sweet Potato with cinnamon (yum)
Hot sandwich with whole grain bread, lean meat, veggies.

What is a healthy sandwich using fresh chicken?

CLICKY HER

I have some fresh chicken that was pretty recently cooked. What are some sandwiches that are low calorie and use chicken? The lowst calorie bread i have is dark rye bread (70 calories per slice) (but i only have one slice left), or the next lowest is 100% whole wheat bread at 90 calories per slice. So the only way i could use the dark rye is if i had an open faced, or a half sandwich. What are some good recipes that you would suggest? Please not too much cooking or presperation, and please include the calorie count of the sandwich, Thank you so much! (btw, this isnt the only kind of recipe i want, but i particularly like spicy chicken sandwiches)

Answer
CHICKEN SALSA SANDWICH GRILL

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup salsa
3 whole garlic cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 hamburger buns
4 large lettuce leaves
seasoned salt
pepper
a few drops fresh lemon juice (optional)

In a skillet, saute chicken with garlic cloves for 5-7 minutes on each side until chicken is white and opaque or until done (165°F). Turn garlic cloves until both sides achieve a roasted appearance, then crush them into the oil using a fork. Remove if the cloves begin to brown, as this will make the oil bitter.

Meanwhile, brush hamburger buns lightly with a few drops of olive oil (or melted butter if preferred) and broil or toast until lightly golden on the inside.

Remove skillet from heat. Slice each chicken breast into 3 or 4 pieces and divide evenly onto toasted buns. Sprinkle lightly with seasoned salt and pepper, and a few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice, if desired.

Top with salsa and shredded cheese; run under broiler just until cheese has melted, about 2 minutes.

Variation: This can be prepared on the outdoor grill. Marinate chicken breasts in olive oil into which the garlic cloves have been pressed for 30 minutes before grilling chicken over hot coals.

Makes 4 Servings.

What are a few gluten free soup recipes that are comfort food for you?

WinonaGal

Fall is here, only a few more days before our calendar tells us it is officially here. This time of year, I want those warm things like soups and stews. Yet, my somewhat recently diagnosed need to be gluten free has me really annoyed as most commercial soups are not gluten free. I've tried a few of the health food store kind of GF soups and I really do dislike them.
I'm a Campbell's gal who grew up on those soups that were easy to serve, quick and I liked them. I can't believe wheat is even in their clear broth based soups. I know these canned soups were not always the most healthy things in terms of sodium and various other things, but it is what I grew up on. The convenience of opening a can and having it alongside a sandwich or salad was just always there for me.
I am determined to be healthy and feel well, so I've started making soups myself and plan to keep a number of them in my freezer in individually frozen containers.
So, if you have a few nice recipes that you enjoy and give you that warm soup cozy feeling on a chilly day, what do you love? I'm especially wanted a cream of tomato soup that mimics Campbell's (but will be healthier of course) so I can make my grilled cheese (with GF bread, of course) and have my tomato soup to dunk in.
Thanks if you can help! Crock pot recipes are most welcome as well, due to the time factor.

Answer
Creamy Vegan Broccoli-Cauliflower Soup

This soup recipe best for autumn and the early winter can’t get any simpler. All the ingredients are practically thrown in the pot and simmered then pureed and it is ready to serve. The delicious and nutritious combination of broccoli and cauliflower come together in one delicious dish. To make this simple vegan recipe, you need broccoli, cauliflower, yellow onions, garlic, turnip, potato, celeriac, dry green lentils, vegetable stock or water, tamari, virgin olive oil, and dried thyme.

Ingredients
3 C broccoli florets and stems, diced
2 C cauliflower florets and stems, diced
1 yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 white turnip peeled and diced
1 large potato, peeled and diced
1 C celeriac, peeled and diced
½ C dry green lentils
8 C water OR vegetable stock
1 tbsp tamari (optional – omit if using vegetable stock)
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp dried thyme
1
Combine all ingredients in a very large soup pot.

2
Bring to a rolling boil, then turn the heat down and allow to simmer for 30 minutes (until everything is falling apart in the pot).

3
In a blender, puree the soup in batches, transferring each pureed batch into a large mixing bowl as you go.

4
When everything is pureed to a thick, creamy smoothness, return soup to original pot, heat through, serve, and enjoy.

What are some healthy meals to make at work?

healthy soup and sandwich recipes image

Jackie

My co-workers and I practically live at work, so we decided to start eating healthy meals for lunch instead of grabbing fast food. What are some healthy meal ideas for breakfast and lunch?

We have a refrigerator, toaster, crock pot, and for man grill.

Answer
How about some turkey burgers on the grill? You could buy pre-shaped turkey burger patties, or make your own. Making your own is really easy. You just need 1lb ground lean turkey, 1 egg, some salt/pepper, 1/2 a small onion, diced, and a little Worchester sauce. You just combine all the ingredients in a large bowl, and form into patties. You can do this ahead of time and put into a Ziploc bag (with a sheet of waz paper between each patty) and use within a day or two, otherwise you can freeze them. Then just grill them on the grill at work, and place on whole wheat buns or sandwich thins, with tomato slices, lettuce, a slice of cheese, and whatever condiments you like.

I also like to use my crock pot to make good dinners. There are tons of recipes out there, for everything from beef stews, to vegetable soups. Here are a few you can try out:

healthy soup and sandwich recipes image

dizzy r

I am looking for some easy, healthy, yummy recipes. Short preparation and cook time preferred. Please keep in mind that I'm a college student that works part time and I cannot spend tons of money either. Also, I do not eat chicken or pork. I prefer to eat seafood most of the time as it is lean and healthy. I eat beef very rarely because I prefer it over iron tablets. Thanks! :)

Answer
Stir fry - Put a bunch of vegetables in the wok with a touch of oil, serve over short grain brown rice.

Soup - Boil vegetables, throw in some noodles, drop in a raw egg or some cooked beans, how about a few shrimp.

Tortillas, beans & cheese. Slice in some tomatoe and avocado.

Sandwiches - Get nice crusty bread, good cheeses, fresh tomatoes, grilled vegetables, tuna fish. Also smoked fish on bagels.

Pilaf - Rice with herbs & seasonings, mix in toasted nuts & seeds, stir in some minced broccoli, carrot or cauliflower, cook using broth for more flavor, add fresh melon on top

Get some good Indian, Chinese and South Asian cookbooks!

How to get my 3 year old to eat more veggies?

Shorty

I've bought several cook books in the past to appeal to my son's tastebuds with little evidence of success. The problem: vegetables (primarily)! I have had a few hits but mostly misses. I would like to introduce new recipes before he tires of old ones completely.
What's worked thus far:
Campbell's Healthy Choice soups (unexplicably works for now)
Omlette sandwiches (finely chopped veggies)
Pasta with Spaghetti sauces (again with the fine chopped vegs)

For now we suppliment with Pediasure but I hope not forever.
FYI - Cooked or raw, veggies on their own he will not eat, this includes mashed potatoes. He will try now and again but usually there's gagging and throwing up involved.

Answer
If your son is eating vegetables in the form o0f the soup..and sauces etc, you are doing much better than many parents!

It is very normal for kids to just stick to what they like for a long time before trying any thing else. SO, he eats soup at alot.or had spag and sauce alot...even if it is every day at every meal..relax..he is eating very healthy!..there is no need to supplement with pedisure at all.

Fresh fruit is very healthy to.
but with his favourite dishes, maybe offer him a different veggie to go with what he has. Don't force it..but eat it yourself, and go on about how yummy it is. If he refuses..oh well...no big deal...he is eating healthy now..he is not looking out on anything.
Eventually..and be warned, it might be in like 3 years or so!!!..he might want to try something new..or he might want to try ti next week..just relax..don't make eating a stressful big deal..it should be relaxing..and enjoyable.

Have any good recipes for truck drivers?

Q. I eat out of my truck to eat healthier instead of eating all that fast food. Anyone have any good recipes they can share? I have a microwave and a small rifrigarator in my truck. I am just tired of eating soup's and sandwiches all the time. I have tried a few to the microwave meals and was not very happy with them.

Answer
Microwave meatloaf:

1 lb ground beef or turkey
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tblsp brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup bread crumbs

Mix meat, egg, onion powder, worcestershire, and bread crumbs together. Using a pie plate, put inverted custard cup in the center and shape the meat in a ring around the cup. Mix ketchup and brown sugar in separate bowl and top meat mixture with this. Cover with paper towels. Microwave on high for about 8 minutes, rotating dish half-way through cooking time.

You may want to prepare this ahead and refridgerate then pop in the microwave when you're on the road.

A. Stir fry - Put a bunch of vegetables in the wok with a touch of oil, serve over short grain brown rice.

Soup - Boil vegetables, throw in some noodles, drop in a raw egg or some cooked beans, how about a few shrimp.

Tortillas, beans & cheese. Slice in some tomatoe and avocado.

Sandwiches - Get nice crusty bread, good cheeses, fresh tomatoes, grilled vegetables, tuna fish. Also smoked fish on bagels.

Pilaf - Rice with herbs & seasonings, mix in toasted nuts & seeds, stir in some minced broccoli, carrot or cauliflower, cook using broth for more flavor, add fresh melon on top

Get some good Indian, Chinese and South Asian cookbooks!

Original Question

How to get my 3 year old to eat more veggies?

Q. I've bought several cook books in the past to appeal to my son's tastebuds with little evidence of success. The problem: vegetables (primarily)! I have had a few hits but mostly misses. I would like to introduce new recipes before he tires of old ones completely.
What's worked thus far:
Campbell's Healthy Choice soups (unexplicably works for now)
Omlette sandwiches (finely chopped veggies)
Pasta with Spaghetti sauces (again with the fine chopped vegs)

For now we suppliment with Pediasure but I hope not forever.
FYI - Cooked or raw, veggies on their own he will not eat, this includes mashed potatoes. He will try now and again but usually there's gagging and throwing up involved.

A. If your son is eating vegetables in the form o0f the soup..and sauces etc, you are doing much better than many parents!

It is very normal for kids to just stick to what they like for a long time before trying any thing else. SO, he eats soup at alot.or had spag and sauce alot...even if it is every day at every meal..relax..he is eating very healthy!..there is no need to supplement with pedisure at all.

Fresh fruit is very healthy to.
but with his favourite dishes, maybe offer him a different veggie to go with what he has. Don't force it..but eat it yourself, and go on about how yummy it is. If he refuses..oh well...no big deal...he is eating healthy now..he is not looking out on anything.
Eventually..and be warned, it might be in like 3 years or so!!!..he might want to try something new..or he might want to try ti next week..just relax..don't make eating a stressful big deal..it should be relaxing..and enjoyable.
