I have just been watching River Cottage Every Day Lunches and Hugh had some great ideas for healhty lunches. Here is the link to the web site
http://www.channel4.com/food/on-tv/river-cottage/river-cottage-everyday/top-tips-for-livening-up-lunch_p_1.html.
I especially liked the recipe for the butternut and peanut butter soup
http://www.channel4.com/food/recipes/chefs/hugh-fearnley-whittingstall/butternut-and-nut-butter-soup-recipe_p_1.html
and the houmous. Here are Hughs top tips for livening up lunch:
Keeping stock of the five groups will ensure a tasty, varied and healthy lunch every day. Follow Hugh's five-point plan:
Carby fillers
If you are at the stove cooking dinner anyway, make sure you put the time and a spare hob to good use by cooking up some pasta or rice that can go into the fridge in preparation for the next day or week's lunch boxes.
Tasty proteins
This can be cold meats or fish. No bit of left over meat or fish is too small for a lunch box. Even a cold sausage, sliced, can be turned through some left over pasta for the base of a salad. Tinned fish like sardines are an instant way to fill up a lunch box. But if you are veggie, chuck in some cooked lentils for protein packed flavour.
Fresh veg
The options here are as wide as the greengrocer's shelf. Raw veg is the easiest. Sliced carrot batons, sliced cabbage, radishes, diced celery, fresh spinach leaves are all perfect for a tasty lunch box. Baby sweetcorn and avocado are also good seasonal examples.
Don't forget the fruit counter: diced apple can work well with cold pork and celery, or raisins can lift a pasta or carrot dish. Orange slices work really well with celery.
Sprinkles
This is where the exciting flavours start to kick in. A handful of crushed nuts, pumpkin or sunflower seeds can really lift the taste and texture of your lunch box. Don't forget herbs count in this category too. A handful of flat-leaf parsley, coriander, or a few springs of mint take your lunch box to a whole new level.
Dressings
Everyone likes to be well-dressed and this final, restaurant flourish will bring your lunch box alive. Use a classic oil or vinegar dressing, or perhaps something more exotic with a zingy dash of lemon. If you're feeling adventurous try a herby mayo dressing or yoghurt with Middle Eastern spices. Keeping the dressing in a separate little pot and adding it at lunch time will stop your lunch box getting too soggy
Still not lively enough? Set up an office lunch club
Save time and money by creating your own work lunch club at the office. Put that time queuing for the same old, shop-bought sarnie to good use, and organise a lunch club at work.
Pick time that's convenient to everyone. Email around your plans the day before so no-one forgets their scrummy lunch boxes.
Find a good location. Ok, it's a bit nippy outside at the moment, but decide on a venue in the building that's available and big enough for you and your colleagues.
You could arrange a meeting around it if you really can't shut off for an hour. Base it around a common interest - perhaps a football club, a convergence of the office social club committee - whatever it is, liven it up over a delicious and healthy lunch.
Have a look at the website for lots of delicious recipes!
