Tired of the same old cheese sandwiches? Spending all your money on Pret salads? Stuck for lunch ideas? Well that’s all about to change. I’ve undergone the burden *ahem* of trying and testing as many healthy lunch ideas that I can get my hands on. My extensive research has resulted in this scrummy list of affordable on-the-go nosh. May you never have a boring midday meal again.
Couscous is waaaay easier to make than it looks. This veg-packed recipe is not only easy on the wallet, but tastes uh-mazing. Just try not to gobble it down all at once…
Swap the processed sandwich filling with this healthy alternative. Simply roast your favourite veggies and leave to cool. In the meantime, spread some cream cheese a slice of wholemeal bread, top with the veg and another slice. Who said healthy food was boring?
A uni staple, pasta is a must-buy on every student’s grocery list. Make sure to avoid sugary shop-bought sauces and make it yourself: this fool-proof pasta salad is rich in nutrients and ready in a flash.
If you thought noodles were just for takeaways you were oh-so-wrong. Crazily easy to make, low-calorie, and uber-appetising, your lunch will be the talk of the canteen with this tasty recipe.
Behold the greatest combo known to man since Ross and Rachel finally got their act together; hummus and falafel is a match made in heaven, so stick ’em in a wrap and you’ve hit gold. Make the falafel yourself, or else buy it very cheaply from frozen at most big supermarkets.
If you haven’t caught onto the courgetti hype (seriously, where have you been?), it’s about time you did. Don’t worry if you haven’t got a spiraliser: a peeler will do the trick for this delicious salad. Who needs Pret, eh?
Have your quiche and eat it. Going crustless can save a heck of a lot of calories, and leaves more room for a tasty, protein-dense filling. This healthified take on the picnic classic will be sure to give your fellow classmates lunch envy.
Short for time? Make a big batch of this one-pot dish and that’s your lunches sorted for the week. Well, unless you scoff it all in one go (guilty as charged).
