8 Nutritious Meal Ideas for Work
Hiya Gorgeous,
Meal work ideas – Are you ready for a new journey of conscious eating? After a long hot summer we are back to work again. Our busy schedule might prevent us from thinking about the healthy food that’s best for us each day.
But with planning ahead, our lunches gives us confidence and security. When shopping for particular food, ask yourself: “Do I want this food to become part of my healthy body cells?”
Think about your total nourishment of the day. We need to eat (I would like to encourage you to eat) every three to four hours to balance blood sugar in order to maintain energy and focus.
Here are my meal work ideas on how to prepare a delicious nutritious meal or snack – meal work ideas
♥ I always recommend green drinks first thing in the morning. Drink them on a bus or train if you don’t have time at home. Mix greens with water or your favorite juice to embellish the flavour. If we don’t fuel our body properly in the morning, we will feel grumpy and moody, and will not be able to think straight.
♥ Be creative when preparing a meal or a snack for work. Use different colours, shapes and textures of organic fruits and vegetables.
♥ Serve celery sticks, radishes, cucumbers, carrot sticks, and chopped fennel with home-made spreads. You can also prepare your own cream cheese by mixing pine nuts, lemon, celery and a little water in a blender or food processor. Dips and spreads can stay for a week in the refrigerator.
♥ You can use wraps such as rice paper, kamut pitas, and raw Nori sheets. Fill them with hummus or choose from a variety of home-made raw spreads, and add fresh vegetables such as radishes, cucumbers, sunflower sprouts, etc.
♥ Make your own salad of radicchio, green leafy lettuce, arugula, and dandelion. You can add beans, radishes and sprinkle some ground flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, dulse or whatever you prefer. Bring your own salad dressing made of extra virgin olive oil, lemon and Celtic sea salt.
♥ Munch on Goji berries, which are packed with nutrients and fibre. Have at least two apples a day. You can also make yourself a smoothie made of parsley and mango, which can be prepared ahead of time.
♥ Take a protein shake with you if your work hours are long and you are heading to the gym after work. You can choose from hemp, rice or whey protein; just mix them with water and add some fresh or frozen berries such as blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and blackberries. Protein shakes will keep you energized and alert and you will be able to work out longer.
♥ And remember to drink water! Recommended is at least ten glasses of Reverse osmosis water every day. The amount depends on climate, stress and exercise. Have a bottle with you every day.
Trust me the transition to a healthy diet and lifestyle can be easy. Once you make the change, you won’t want to go back. The rewards include improved memory, clarity, and focus.
Love and Light
