Hi,
I'm on Phase 1 and I'm wondering if you all could help me come up with some good ideas of what to bring to work (no refrigerator) I've been bringing snap peas and cheese sticks, but thats getting kind of old.
Thanks in advance!!
I often bring cut up veggies and hummus or low/non-fat cottage cheese with a little lemon pepper in it to dip them in. I use a insulated lunch tote and ice pack to keep it cold. I also occasionally do unsalted nuts, but you have to ensure you only eat the recommended amount (15 for most nuts, 30 for pistachios-look whatever nuts you like up in the book).
This is my go to list for snacks/appitizers, some need refrigeration... or at least a cooler bag with an ice pack.
Mixed nuts
Cheese Stick
Pickles (No Sugar Added)
Deli meat rollups w/ cream cheese and green onions (could also add cucumber or bell peppers)
