How Do You Pack A Healthy Brown Bag Lunch?
If there aren’t a lot of healthy lunch options available to you during the day, don’t settle for fast food. Why not create your own healthy brown bag lunch instead? It’s easier than you think to pack a tasty and nutritious gourmet spread to take to work. Here are some ideas for eating healthy while brown bagging it. Ditch the Chips. Give the potato chips a break and explore the world of healthier snacks. A small bag of mixed nuts can be the ideal, heart healthy energy snack to help you get through a busy day. Create a pack of mixed nuts to go in your brown bag or take a different nut every day. To make your nuts even more interesting, bring along spiced nuts or make your own at home with a garlic, onion powder, cumin, or chili powder. Other good potato chip substitutes are whole grain crackers, air popped popcorn, or rice cakes dipped into salsa, hummus, or another low fat dip. Go Light on Dessert. If you have a craving for something sweet after lunch, bring along a square of dark choc
