Quick and easy lunches that are healthy, delicious & low calorie.

Lunch can be one of the most delicious, yet frustrating time of the day. We are often bombarded by choice and frequently opt for the same thing day after day, as it's easy and convenient. When buying food out, you can easily find yourself spending upwards of £5-6 on 'healthy lunch options' that are likely to leave you feeling unsatisfied! Check out these super simple recipes that will not only be a tasty and healthy change to your lunchbox; they will also save you money. 

 

Give us a quiche!

It's no secret that we are big fans of quiche here at Lo-Dough HQ. It's a great low-calorie, low-carb lunch option which takes no time at all to prep. It also helps you get the most out of your Lo-Dough bases - as each quiche serves 2-4 people (depending on how hungry you are!). Enjoy hot out of the oven, or cold the next day in your lunchbox with a fresh salad. Check out our Quiche Perfection Guide to make the ultimate Lo-Dough quiche.

Vegetarian Enchiladas 

Top tip: when you're making these veggie enchiladas, make an extra portion to have for lunch the next day. You can refrigerate/freeze them and reheat and they taste just as delicious (if not more!). Just 170 calories per portion - we'd have ours with a hearty mixed leaf salad and a few jalapeños on top!
