3 super easy lunchtime swaps

We all know toting your own lunch it is the way to go – you save money, conserve environmental resources and you get to choose what you’ll be chowing down on. But bringing PB&J day after day gets boring fast. Here are three easy-to-make, healthy and yummy lunches to start the year off right.

Mini subs
Push aside the sliced bread and use a hot dog bun to create an adorable sub sandwich – load up your favorite toppings, like grilled chicken, lettuce, tomato, cheese, dressing, etc. Bonus if you make one that’s all veggies.

That’s a wrap
Sick of sandwiches? Try a wrap-a-roo. Put together a Tex-Mex option with chicken, beans, rice, salsa, cheese and salsa in a tortilla for some South-of-the-Border fun. Looking for vegetarian fare? Pick your favorite greens, add a little salad dressing and voilà! A fresh lunch option that you can switch up a little every day.

Slurpin’ some soup
Grab a thermos and fill it up the night before with an easy to make soup recipe, like this one. Super quick to make – and perf to grab and go in the morning!

sounds really good!!! wish my parents would buy hot dog buns but they never do! my mom says they are white bread and white bread is not good for you. also i don't like jelly (no idea why, i just hate it for some reason) so i like PB & Honey instead. cottage cheese with peaches, fruit kabobs & ham and cheese bagel melts are some of my fav simple foods.

Another good idea is a pb and j wrap. Just spread pb on on half of a wheat tortilla and jelly on the other then wrap it up! It's a yummy twist on the classic!
