Lunch recipes you’ll love
The second most important meal of your day: lunch. It gives you a boost of energy and healthy nutrients to keep you going for the rest of the day. And lunchtime in general gives you an important break, allowing you to recharge, to focus and stay fit. A homemade lunch is not only delicious, you can choose the healthy ingredients yourself and divvy up just the right portion. With Panasonic kitchen products, conjuring up such a variety-rich and tasty lunch is fast and easy.
Healthy lunch ideas for your working day
Today, many people are focusing more than ever on what they eat. Fresh ingredients and home-made meals, prepared with organically grown produce, dairy and meat products, have now become even more important in supporting a healthy lifestyle. This positive development is being complemented by more people working in home office or wishing to bring their lunch to work.
It’s a good thing, therefore, that Panasonic kitchen products enable you to easily put together a healthy lunch for enjoying at home or taking along to the office.
Refreshing salads and soups
The classics amongst lunch ideas: soups and salads. They fill you up without weighing you down, especially the Grilled Aubergine Mint and Couscous Salad. For the Steamed Vegetable Salad, you can steam the vegetables in advance and then simply warm them up for lunch – and add some chickpeas for a portion of protein. Or get your protein from beef with the spicy Asian Glass Noodle Salad recipe.
Soups are ideal for making in big batches and then warming up for lunch. Like the classic Minestrone recipe, perfect with some home-made bread from the Croustina breadmaker. The cooling Nectarine-Gazpacho recipe is ideal for warm summer days, along with the creamy No-cook Green Soup.
