Gastric sleeve lunch ideas: Healthy, easy, delicious and small enough to eat!

I’ve spent years working out delicious, easy and healthy lunch options with my clients and I want to pass them on to you. The criteria for these lunch ideas is minimal fuss, good quality and most importantly – a portion size that will be right for your new stomach!

5 quick ideas if you want to take your own lunch from home.

It can be really hard to find lunch options that are quick & easy to prepare, nutritious but in small enough portions and taste good! Try some of these great lunch options and see how easy & delicious lunch can be! <br/>

Baby spinach, a few cherry tomatoes, a tin of tuna (flavoured or in oil) & salad topper – no chopping!

A mountain bread wrap with a handful of salad, avo and slice of leftover roast meat, turkey or ham.

4-6 Vita-Weats or Ryvitas with cream cheese, or hummous, avo and a few baby spinach leaves.

A “tasting plate” with some cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks, cheese slices, hummus, ham and nuts.

A pre-packed coleslaw mix with left-over BBQ chicken and a little coleslaw dressing. 

 

 

5 easy lunch options to buy on the run.

Buying a small lunch can be a nightmare – it can seem such a waste throwing the rest out. Try some of these, they’re small or easily to reheat the next day.

A sushi roll and seaweed salad. A sushi roll is the perfect size, just be careful as rice doesn’t sit well with some people after a sleeve, you may feel more comfortable with sashimi.

A half-wrap with some protein (chicken, beef, ham or cheese) and salad. Some cafes will sell half wraps which are the perfect size.

A small garden salad with some chicken or beef as an add-on. Salad bars will often have a small option/take-away container.

McDonalds Grilled Chicken Snack Wrap™ – for those times when you need something quick and readily available!

A taco from your local Mexican. One is enough and go for something that has some salad on it – fish or chicken are good options

 

If you’d like more, I’ve got plenty more to share, just download my top 20 lunch ideas and bonus shopping list here.
