Best Lunches For Working From Home

“Whilst many of us are slowly stepping back into the office, working from home remains to be a prevalent way of working for the vast majority of British employees. When it comes to utilising our lunch hour when working from home, it’s important to take a step out of the mundane and spend your free time doing something different. This goes for lunches too, which can often turn into the same sandwich or salad each day.
Making your midday meal special may add a bit of additional work to your day, but from a nutritional perspective having the extra time allows you to make more intentional choices for your lunch. With deadlines to meet and virtual conferences galore, lunchtime should provide a break for your brain as well as something tasty and fulfilling for your stomach. We’ve put together a list of some delicious WFH lunch ideas to turn to when you’re busy working at home.

Taco Bowls

If you’re looking to spice up your lunchtime, these taco bowls are a great option. Fill your deconstructed taco with your favourite Mexican ingredients – protein, cheese, corn, beans, lettuce, salsa, sour, cream, guacamole and rice. Low in carbs and high in protein, these bowls are sure to satisfy your Mexican craving. Check out these Weekday Meal-Prep Turkey Taco Bowls from Tasty for some inspiration.

Homemade Soups

The humble soup is often overlooked when it comes to lunches, but they most definitely shouldn’t be. Since they are mostly liquid, soups help keep you hydrated and full, and can even give your immune system a boost.
Try making your soup in a slow cooker or crockpot before starting work, and let it cook gently until your lunch hour hits. When you’re hungry, open the lid and unleash intense flavour! A big hearty bowl of soup can be just what you need after a hard morning’s work. Take a look at these tips from Kitchn on How to Make Soups From All Kinds Of Vegetables.

Lettuce Wraps

Buns are great for burgers, but when you need something a little lighter lettuce wraps are a delicious healthy option. Often falling under the keto diet, lettuce wraps can be filled with tasty combinations of meat, fish, vegetables and sauces.
