Healthy Ideas for Work Lunches

An ideal lunch at work may be a full course meal or a snack. It is better to go with the latter if you want it to be healthy.

Fruit and yogurt is a good combination for your digestive system. Never add processed sugar to yogurt, but instead natural sugar in the form of fruit juices. Pineapple and its juice is prime to combat a sweet tooth.

Fruit shakes can be very filling, especially if they consist of banana, peanut butter and chia seeds. Chia seeds are not just for Christmas and they are another one of nature's superfoods. Banana and peanut butter are also stand alone powerhouses within the superfood community. Sometimes if you don't want to add milk but want a milky flavor to your shake, just add coffee creamer. Trust me, it works.

Ants on a log is not just for kids anymore. Celery stalks lain topped with peanut butter and a few raisins can boost up anyone's metabolism. A healthy alternative to the celery is to just substitute it with a carrot stick.

Caribbean Latinos have long since known of the health benefits of rice and beans. While the white rice can be substituted for a healthier brown rice, the beans are chock-full of healthful benefits. The beans' sauce contains annatto seed, saffron, garlic, tomato sauce, cumin, garlic, onion, olive oil and potato.

Avocado by itself or in guacamole is another healthy idea for a snack hidden in fast food advertising. Organic tortilla chips dipped in guacamole and or salsa are a simple easy snack to fill up your stomach while waiting for the closing bell.

Have a block party at work and share these ideas with your colleagues. You will spread the health incentive and inspire others to care more about their bodies.
