A Guide to Quick, Easy, Low Cost Bag Lunches



I like lunches that are easy and quick to create and give me a healthy balanced diet that takes little preparation and easy to eat on the go & low in cost. Perhaps I am hard to please, but I think other people are looking for the same types of lunches. In today's busy society, preparing what we eat may be low on our list of priorities and yet food is what is necessary to keep us successful in the many tasks we try to daily accomplish. Here are some ideas of easy bag lunches:

Tortilla Sandwiches Take a tortilla and include your favorite mixture of meat either chopped meat or deli meat, vegetables, spices (if you like them) and condiments(mayo, mustard, ketchup etc.). You may even want to add cheese. These sandwiches can be a great way to enhance your diet, they are easy to eat and quick to prepare.

Here are a couple ideas for tortilla sandwiches:

Roll in ingredients and you have a chicken salad to go! You may wish to add some of your other favorite vegetables too. Hint: Fold bottom of torilla horizontally inwards before vertically rolling in ingredients.

Roast Beef & Cheese Tortilla 1 Tortilla Roast Beef Deli Meat a slice of Cheddar cheese

Suggestion: Melt cheese in microwave before packing your tortilla sandwich in your lunch.

Fruit Dessert Tortilla Cooked Apples Cinnamon & Sugar Combine in Tortilla for a delicious dessert. You may even want to include frosting in this. An easy frosting recipe is: 3 cups confectioners' sugar 1/3 cup butter, softened 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 1/2 tablespoons milk

You can modify the above recipe by using other fruit such as fruit cocktail.

Strawberries & Cream 1 tortilla Strawberries A thin layer of Whipped Cream or Cream Cheese

You may want to include sugar if you use cream cheese & strawberries.

For a healthy beverage, I like to buy Ensure or Boost. These are chocolate beverages packed full of vitamins! I especially like them for a quick snack during the day or a breakfast on the go.

Another quick snack to pack in your lunch is bean dip and tortilla chips.

These lunches are quick, easy and inexpensive. Plus they will give you a healthy start to your day! You won't go hungry or wind up eating from machines nor will you break the budget.
