Healthy Lunches on the go

Monday 19 January 2015



It's that time of year where we're all promising ourselves we'll be healthier, in an effort to shed those extra Christmas pounds we no doubt gained.. My upcoming exams have also meant that I'm stuffing my face with more chocolate than usual.. not the healthiest start to 2015 shall we say..

I was sent this rather fancy Black&Blum Lunch Box* from Utility! Utility is one of my favourite shops, selling lots of cute stationary, jewellery, home ware and other great gift ideas!! I highly recommend checking out their website!

This Box encourages me to act on 3 of my New Year resolutions; eat healthier, cook more and save money!

1. I will hopefully be using this to make healthy lunches
2. Making my own lunches will involve some experimental cooking at times
3. By making my lunch, I won't buy it out - saving!

win, win and win


The different compartments means that your soggy salad days are over!! I like to keep my dressings in the little corner compartment. The larger one is perfect for keeping your sandwiches in, or for separating hot food from cold food - yes it is microwavable too!!


The lid has a circular indent, into which you can pour your sauces for dipping! And the fork has a curved edge which you can use to cut things! I have soooo many ideas for different lunches I can make with this. It makes lunch times more exciting and I find that if I pre-prepare a healthy meal, then I'm less likely to grab something less healthy when 'Hanger' (angry/hunger..you get it) kicks in!


The first thing I made with this was a pretty simple salad with pomegranate and goat's cheese! And an olive oil, lemon & lime and black pepper dressing. Doesn't it look smart too?!


The box comes in a range of different colours and also sizes! It looks like such good quality and it's so different to other lunch boxes out there so I definitely think it's worth the £16.95 that it costs, especially since you'll be using it pretty much every day.

You can buy your very own from here :)

What kind of things do you make as a healthy lunch?

  4. This would be so helpful for me! I take salads to school and the number of times they've leaked is so annoying!! xx

  5. I love this! I've just bought some new food savers from Morrisons to make food easier to take to work. It's not as posh as this though!

  9. I don't pack lunch since I stay at home but I try and pack my husband something healthy everyday... of course he still goes to the store and buys himself some soda and chips... which is very annoying. Sigh. At least I try :P

  14. We must be on a wavelength or something! I actually went out and bought one of those cute, strong, medium sized clippy boxes for uni this week too! I've enjoyed filling it up with couscous way too much haha! Great minds think alike ;) Your lunch looks so healthy!

  17. This is such a good idea for sticking to healthy meals. I work from home & on location and it's so easy to nip to Nando's (or McDonalds's, classy!) and pick up something ridiculously unhealthy. Your salad looks delicious too :)
