    Day 2/15 here. I have recently taken up juicing using the Breville Blend Active juicer and made a ginger, strawberry, raspberry, lime, coconut water, pineapple, spinach with coconut water juice for lunch today. (Phew... sounds like a mouthful). Have a good day everyone.

  • Hey hey all - and especially WantToBeSE!

    Could I jump on this yummy bandwagon?! It's sounding delish already!

    I work 3 days a week so put me down for 14 in March!

    Today is my first working day and I've had a banana and kiwi smoothie for brekkie and VERY GREEN h/m soup for lunch! :D

    I do tend to plan for salad lunches or leftovers but we have a lethal cafe on site that's now open for the season. It's not all bad as they often leave their out-of-date stock in our staff canteen so freebies can be sourced (but they're in no way healthy so best to avoid if poss)!

    This is something I need to join in on. I'm going to start small and go for 2 days each week and build up to hopefully 5.

    As there's 20 working days left I make that 8 for this month.

    1/8 Lunch today will be beans on toast and a mint aero mousse.

    I need to buy bread but as I haven't been shopping this week it's technically taking my lunch to work and I will be taking it home to make some Tuna sandwiches for work tomorrow.

    Woohoo! WantToBeSE I've gone for 14 days and started yesterday.

    This morning had h/made Fruity Soda Bread for brekkie and, inspired by all this talk of houmous, I made some last night and have that on a wrap with some lettuce and shredded carrot for lunch! :D

    Count me in for the whole month. Last month i must have bought £3 lunch deals between 5-10 times. That's £15-30!!

    It's shocking when you add it up,even more shocking if you add it all up for a year,plus any other drinks/snacks that you buy regularly.

    I'd like to sign up please.Put me down for 31.

    Hi all, not the best start to the month as I've been off work ill :( but I did make lunch for those days so am currently on #3/22 (will aim for every working day this month).


    Today I'm back and am having herbed bulgur wheat salad plus some mixed nuts and fresh fruit for snacking.
