What are some good alternatives to sandwiches in lunches?

Question

I pack my lunch every day for work and am getting sick of sandwiches day after day. Do you have any suggestions for alternatives? Thanks!

Answer 1

Soup, Lean Cuisines, different salad variations, just make sure you have some kind of protein.  I know you mentioned you don't want sandwiches, but maybe you could be creative with wraps.  Maybe chicken breast, with some hummus, a few cucumber slices, etc.  Veggie burgers are really great too.  Check out Yahoo recipes or any other site that can give you more ideas.  

Answer 2

Why  not try pasta salad, deviled eggs, or even  a large pepper stuffed with tuna salad? These are all nutritious options, that are easy to prep. & can be eaten cold.

Enjoy!  

Answer 3

Pasta salad

Soup in a thermos and salad

Cold sesame noodles

Answer 4

Salads, frozen meals, wraps, fajitas, soups, sushi, the possibilities are endless.

Answer 5

How about tuna or chicken salads in PITAS or croissants. Change up the breads / wraps (that is what I do for my hubby - I make his "boring" lunch every day and he loves it)

Beef / Chicken fajita pita with meat, lettuce, salsa, cheddar, tomatoes, etc.

Make a pasta salad with chicken.

Make quesadillas - they are great!!

Even toasting the bread makes a difference!

I also get him lunch able (little crackers and meat and cheese for a snack)

~~This is what I pack him everyday~~

One breakfast item - could be donuts or a sausage biscuit or a breakfast burrito.

2 sandwiches.

2 small bags of chips (usually Pringles or whatever he picks out for the week)

4 cookies and a snack cake.

Sometimes I will throw in some fruit and nuts too.

He most of the time eat the sandwiches so they don't go to waste and most of the time he brings home 1/2 the junk food in which I pack in his next days lunch.

Be creative!!!

Answer 8

I work at night in a Emergency Room ...so I'm always looking for ideas. Here are some of mine. I love salad and baked chicken. So I take salad mix, add some vegetables, slice some chicken breast and chicken salad. I might take some taco meat, lettuce, shredded cheeses, and tomatoes, and taco shells, chicken strips, and sometimes I get the microave soup in a can( that's good for when you are on the go. And for snacks I get fruit cups, health bars, and I like to make fruit  salads.

Answer 9

Salads

"faux" sushi rolls (trim the crusts off bread and roll flat with a rolling pin, spread with cream cheese, sliced turkey or ham, and some cheese, roll up and cut into rounds)  

Wrap your lunch meat / sandwich alternative/ lettuce, tomato, etc, in a tortilla

Stuff a pita bread pocket (ideas are endless, PB&J, pepperoni & cheese for pizza, etc)

Stuffed Muffins - use corn muffin mix as a base, mix according to the package, then add in diced turkey & veggies or diced ham & shredded cheese, etc, bake according to the package directions

* can use cream cheese mixed with jelly for a sandwich filling

Answer 10

Jiff sells individual packages of peanut butter.  You can take one with an apple - dip the apple into the peanut butter for a healthy alternative.
