Packing lunch the night before is a brilliant way to save time and ensure a nourishing meal for the day ahead. Lisa often dedicates a few minutes in the evening to prepare a wholesome packed lunch that balances flavour and nutrition.

On a typical Tuesday, she opts for a hearty wholegrain sandwich filled with lean chicken, crisp lettuce, and ripe tomato slices. Accompanying her sandwich, she slices up some crunchy carrot sticks and adds a handful of mixed nuts for a bit of protein. To quench her thirst, she pours some fresh orange juice into a reusable bottle, ensuring she stays hydrated throughout the day.

For a sweet treat, Lisa tucks in a homemade flapjack—oats, honey, and a sprinkle of chocolate chips—wrapped in parchment paper. As she places her lunch in the fridge, she feels a sense of satisfaction knowing she's set herself up for a busy day, with everything ready to go at a moment’s notice. Packing her lunch ahead of time not only makes her mornings smoother but also helps her stick to healthier eating habits.
