Healthy Lunch Ideas

I've been meaning to do this post for months. I take pictures of my lunches but just never got round to writing the post for it. I did a post back in March called Post Gym Lunch where I had a toasted New York Bagel Co bagel with smoked salmon, avocado & poached eggs. All these are healthy ideas if you're struggling to make something. They're all really quick to make & don't need hardly any prep for! Don't even involve that much cooking either!

Toasted white seeded bread, avocado & spinach

These are just some of the lunch I've been having I do have porridge a lot after the gym. Just normal porridge oats microwaved using semi-skimmed milk. 

1 cup of porridge oats, 1 cup of semi-skimmed milk. Microwave for a minute. Take it out, stir it, back in for another minute. Then put some sultanas in, a banana & some berries if you have any.

I'll even have any left over dinner we have from the night before. It's very varied what I have but I do try to have some sort of protein as you body needs it after a workout to repair your muscles. I need to try & eat more protein as I'm trying to not bulk up but be more muscley. Have some definition & tone up. I'll try to post more photos of the food I eat just to give you some ideas of what to have.

Post gym lunch

Made the perfect post gym lunch today. Toasted New York Bakery Co bagel, avocado, smoked salmon & perfectly poached eggs. 

As well as being the pancake queen I'm also the poached egg queen. I have mastered the art of poaching eggs which is actually the easiest way to cook eggs out of all the different ways you can. 

How to perfectly poach eggs

Boil a pan of water

Crack an egg into a mug

Once the water starts to boil, pour your egg into the water

Leave it in there, don't touch it for around 2 minutes

Then use a slotted spoon to take your egg out of the pan making sure not to let the yolk leak out

It is that easy. You don't need to touch it or anything. I usually time it while my toast/bagel is in the toaster which I set to 2.

I'll try & post more healthy lunch & dinner ideas but I don't tend to have anything that interesting just whatever we have in I tend to just throw together!
