SURE, DESK LUNCHES can be grim. But there are some simple improvements you can make.
1. Freeze your water bottle to keep things cold
Don’t have a fridge nearby? Ensure you have an ice cold hydration station and a chilled lunch by using your water bottle as a DIY ice pack.
2. Used special shaped lunchboxes
Like this banana holder. You’ve been doing it since you brought Pringles to school in these little tubs, so start doing it with the healthy stuff too.
3. An empty CD spindle makes a great bagel holder
4. And an old clean contact lenses case is perfect for condiments
5. Hold apple slices together with a rubber band to stop them browning
6. Use the wet towel microwave trick
Wet a piece of kitchen towel before you microwave pasta or rice, and it will save its moisture and be a little less sad.
7. Utilise the mic
We previously looked at some things you can make in the microwave. Just prepack the measured ingredients and you’re good to go.
8. Invest in a Bento box
Or make your own with a lunchbox and cake sleeves.
9. Make a salad dressing sachet out of a ziploc
Snip the corner with a scissors and you’re ready to go.
10. Layer your sandwiches with cling film to avoid them going soggy
Layer up your ingredients in your lunch box, bread, meat, salad, with some cling film in between each category. It will be ready to assemble without a sign of sog.
