7 Healthy And Easy Lunches That Are Work-From-Home Friendly

Working from home can definitely have its challenges at times, but it can also provide some convenient benefits (we're looking at you, peak hour traffic). One of our favourite things about working from the home office lately is preparing fresh lunches each day that don't cost a bomb and that we can control every ingredient of to make sure we're getting our daily intake of veggies and vitamins. If your WHF meals could use a bit of an update, take note of the following easy and nutritious lunches to try this week.

1. Vietnamese-style chicken rolls

This tasty recipe uses ingredients that you'll most likely be able to find laying around the pantry or in the fridge, so it's a great budget-friendly option too. In just a few minutes you'll have yourself a Vietnamese-inspired meal that's Insta worthy with minimal effort.
