Best Take To Work Lunches | Slimming World




Scroll down for full recipe and instructions: 

Following the Slimming World plan doesn't have to be time consuming (see 'how to prepare 7 Slimming World freezer meals in under an hour')  I find the trickiest meal of the day to get sorted is lunch, especially if you work full time.

It's almost impossible to find anything suitable while on the go so I usually try and cook a bit extra of my evening meals to take in as left overs, but that isn't always possible.

I decided to dedicate some time to preparing a weeks worth of work lunches on my Sunday afternoon, and thought I would share the meals I came up with!

You can mix and match everything together to maintain some variety throughout the week, I took a Muller light yoghurt for dessert too!
