I’m looking for easy and cheap options for lunches on weekdays. I mostly eat deli sandwiches and hot dogs right now and I always feel like shit after eating them. I think I need something healthier but I don’t have time over my lunch hour to cook anything too fancy. What do you all do for reliable healthy easy lunches?
Not necessarily specifically a lunch, but a consistent midday meal that I have is a sort of fruit-yogurt-granola bowl. The fruit is just maybe a cup of assorted berries, then 3/4 cup of plain yogurt, then 3/4 cup of homemade granola — consisting of various nuts, raisins, oats, etc. and some maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla extract mixed in for flavor.
For breakfast I eat an avocado toast — whole avocado, extra-virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice mixed together into a paste and spread on a piece of toasted whole-wheat bread — and scrambled eggs — I melt half a tablespoon of butter, or so, in a pan, and briefly sautée a tablespoon, or so, of diced red onion, them add two eggs into the pan, which I scramble in the pan for 30s, or so, then season with salt, and pepper on top.
