Most of these are quick fixes, or can be easily made with left overs or healthy combinations that are all around you. If you have already some ideas listed like this, with an easy shop and chop itself, your yummy lunch boxes can be ready in minutes. Now Get Ready to make your colleagues envy of your lunch box :-). Enjoy!

  6. @Anonymous,

    You can add some protein to the salads like Grilled Tilapia, or Spicy Chicken Wings.

    I have added simple sandwich w/ Avocado to the above post. Avocado is one great vegetable source for Amino Acids.

    Always use Multi Grain Bread which has 6 gram protein in each slice. And for Wraps use Sprouted Grain Tortilla or Tofuyan Tortilla which has 13 grams protein.

    Hope this helps, Have Fun!
