    One of my favourite things to make is green bean sald for lunch. Its loaded with protien from the chickpeas, and folate and fibre from the kidney beans!

    All you need is:

    - Green beans (washed, and cut into small chunks)
    - 1 can of Kidney Beans
    - 1 can of Chick Peas
    - 2 big cloves of garlic (you can add less if youre not a garlic fan like me!)
    - olive oil
    - red wine vinegar
    - Thyme
    -ground pepper (to taste)

    Just mix it all up and enjoy!

    Another healthly option is quinoa and veggies. Quinoa is a tasty alterntive most grains as it is loaded with fibre, protien, phosphous and iron. Also really simple to make, and for those of you who are celiac, its gluten free! All you need is:

    -Chicken or Vegetable stock
    -Carrotts (chopped into fine pieces)
    -Celery (chopped into fine pieces)
    -Peas
    -Pepper (to taste)

    Cook the quinoa according to the instructions, substituting the water for stock (adds more flavor), and allow to cool. Sauté veggies in a pan on the side, allow to cool and mix into the quinoa.

    Definitely the type of lunch that won't leave you hungry!

    I kid you not, my status on FB, Twitter & here a mere two seconds ago:

    "Participation time: What are some of your favourite healthy lunch ideas? I'm getting bored of my usual soups, salads & sandwiches."

    So.... BUMP! :)
