Picnic with my kids: pb sandwiches, goat's cheese, olives, cashews, watermelon, blueberries, bananas, Ritz crackers. Looks a bit worthy written down - would have been more fun if I could've been arsed to shop for it. They're eating strawberry laces and watching crap TV now though

 

[iona]

Lemon & herb chicken, feta, lettuce, cucumber, cherry tomatoes.

 

[iona]

Pre-cooked basa fillet and freekeh & quinoa mix, quartered cherry tomatoes and diced yellow pepper, quickly fried in the oil from some chopped up chilli kabanossi with cayenne, paprika, fresh and dried chilli, lemon juice and random herbs from the cupboard. Loads of romaine lettuce and cucumber underneath and a dollop of fat-free greek yoghurt on top. Well nice

[gentlegreen]

Late lunch / early tea ...
sprouted thing and chickpea salad.. .

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

Aloo Mattar burrito and fresh Colorado peaches.

I don't really bother with California or Georgia peaches. The transport of them green ruins the taste. Colorados are close enough that they transport better.

 

[Biddlybee]

You eat quite a lot of falafel Rebelda which ones do you get or do you make them?

Not a fast day today...

Concentrated too much on my fruit and nuts for breakfast and forgot my lunch

Beans on toast or falafel salad I reckon.

It's less than 200 calories.

Really?

 

[Rebelda]

You eat quite a lot of falafel Rebelda which ones do you get or do you make them?

I buy 'Great Foods' falafel. They do different flavor ones, iykwim, and pakora/onion bhajis too (not authentic). They're handy for sticking cold into a pitta with some salad and pickle without having to think too hard. And enough ways to vary the flavours that they don't get boring. Or crumbled over a salad. They're often on offer (i buy them specifically because they're dairy free and not disgusting) - in with the kosher fridge stuff at my sainsbury's.

I'm hungry now.

 

[Biddlybee]

Never heard of them, but am starving now

 

[heinous seamus]

Today I think I'll have a 'Bari' wrap from the local Sudanese cafe. Chicken, falafel, fuul, feta, hummus and sun-dried tomato. I also had one yesterday. It's boss
