Here's a simple idea to think about for any meal - bring a large container filled with washed and chopped fruits and veggies to snack on. I do this at work so when mindless snacking urges begin, I'm eating something healthy.
This is my double layer tiffin I use to pack my lunch, as well as leftovers from a Thai place we went. (They also come in much larger sizes with many more layers.)
On the top half I have a cucumber salad, made with shredded cucumber "noodles", grape tomatoes, oranges, and a drizzle of vinegar or fresh lemon/lime juice. It would be really great with fresh herbs and more veggies, but I was limited on time. The oranges in here really made this taste amazing!
Delicious Thai leftovers
And for the grand finale - mixed fruits and veggies. Here I have red bell pepper, apple, and kiwi, but you can really get creative with this. Think carrots, berries, pears, nuts, cubes of tofu, anything!
When I get home from work, I'm starving! I usually try to slice a cucumber or carrot and snack on it while I make dinner. If I don't plan ahead of time, my predinner snack will be a bar of chocolate or way too many handfuls of almonds. We've been slicing veggies and putting them in tupperware so healthy snacks are available at any time to eat instantly or throw in a bag to bring to work.
Small changes like this have really made a difference in our eating habits!
