Lunch Ideas for Work At Home Moms

Lunch Ideas for Work At Home Moms : People who work at home still have to have a health lunch. However, mom’s who happen to work at home and also take care of their kids are not going to have a lot of time to cook a healthy lunch.

That’s why it’s a good idea to plan out some fast lunch ideas that you can either cook the night before and keep in the fridge, or else cook quickly during your lunch break.

Here are a few easy lunch ideas perfect for the work at home mom.

Nuts and Dried Fruit

This is a standard lunch for hikers, campers, and other active people. It also makes a perfect lunch for moms working at home. While nuts and dried fruit might not sound like much, they actually provide a great deal of sustenance. The nuts are rich in calories and have healthy fats to keep you full. The dried fruit provides natural sugars that help provide energy. This lunch is great for the mom who can’t even take time to leave the computer!

A Cold Quinoa Salad

This is great option for mom’s who want to make a lunch the night before. Quiona is a healthy grain that contains both natural carbs for energy as well as protein. It’s a perfect alternative to pasta or white rice.

A nice idea would be to cook the quinoa and then add some healthy salad dressing and chill it in the fridge overnight. You can add dried fruit, freshly cut vegetables and even nuts. Then the next day all you have to do is take it out of the fridge and you have lunch. You don’t have to waste time heating it up or even doing prep work. It’s a healthy and filling meal all ready for you.

Organic Soup and Whole Grain Bread

If you are the type of person who is not very hungry during the day, and you prefer to east a small lunch, then soup is a great choice. Soup is not very heavy, but it provides enough nutrients to get you through the day.

The great thing about soup is that you don’t even have to make it from scratch. There are lots of brands of healthy soups that you can buy. This is the perfect meal for moms who don’t have the time to cook a big soup at night and then cool it down and store it in the refrigerator. The other benefit to buying organic soups is that you can get a wide variety.

A Healthy Smoothie

For mom’s who are looking to get into shape, the best lunchtime meal might actually be a smoothie. Working at home can lead to less exercise and one way to maintain your health is to swap out a heavy lunch with a light smoothie.

You can make a great green smoothie for lunch. There are compact blenders for green smoothies that you can use to make a single serving for lunch. Just take some spinach or kale and add some fruit and water and you have a delicious and healthy lunch.

The convenient thing about making smoothies is that they are low calorie, filling, healthy and you can make them in a few minutes. Perfect for the busy work at home mom.
