It was a challenge for me to increase my vegetable intake at lunchtime. I struggled to move away from sandwiches and rolls which, while they did include some salad vegetables, I knew it was not really enough to qualify as a serve or two. (I was getting a good three servings at dinner each night)
So, in winter, I started cooking up vegetable soups. I would make enough for a few days at a time so I just had to reheat them most days. Quick, healthy and easy.
Now I am finding a new challenge with the weather warming up. I make salads that keep ok for 2 days at a time. Cook an extra serving at dinner time that will provide left over a for a lunch and on the days I am home, I make quick vegetable stir fries. I just need to be organised with the right things in the fridge and pantry!
Best thing I have started to do is to do my fruit and vege shopping at the local markets on a Saturday morning. Lots of local produce which is so much fresher than at the supermarket. AND much cheaper. Even lots of organic and spray free choices at very reasonable prices. :)
