Lunchtime can be tricky. I often skip it and then find myself ravenous mid-afternoon. Between busy schedules, work on the road or long office days, it’s easy to fall back on fast food or greasy leftovers. The truth is I want something quick and satisfying, and when I don’t feel like taking time to prepare food I usually end up snacking on high-calorie options.
My approach: keep healthy sandwich ingredients on hand so a nutritious meal takes only a minute or two to assemble. Lately I’ve been hooked on a simple veggie sandwich — portable, filling and easy to make to go. I simply pack it in a container and toss it in a small cooler when I head out for errands.
My Favorite Veggie Sandwich:
Layer two slices of light multigrain bread with half a medium avocado (sliced), a handful of sprouts, a handful of fresh spinach, and 1–2 slices of tomato. Finish with a light spread of mustard. This combination is fresh, flavorful and roughly 250 calories.
Eating this nutrient-packed sandwich helps me avoid that late-afternoon snack attack. During hot summer evenings I’ve even had this sandwich for dinner, paired with a side of beans for extra protein. Because it’s satisfying and light, I still have room for a small dessert afterwards.
Do you have a favorite “go-to” lunch?
