I am going to be posting a few low carb lunch ideas for people who do not have access to a microwave with their job. This is what I have been experiencing and it is possible to maintain a low carb diet but you need to plan ahead.
This week I have made a large bowl of Broccoli Salad to take for my lunch. I am adding a side of strawberries to go with it too. I have learned to keep an Atkins shake and a low carb protein bar in my cooler just in case I end up working late or feeling my glucose level is dropping too low. Being prepared keeps me from making poor choices while on the road with my job.
I bought a new 31 brand insulated cooler to take my lunch in. I keep 2 20ounce reusable bottles of orange flavor sugar free drink. I buy the Walmart brand called Early Orange Rise. This is my favorite flavor. As most of you know I do not buy paper towels or paper napkins so I always keep a cloth napkin in my cooler and one in my glove box of my car just in case I need an extra one.
Your lunch looks yummy Grace! I have not heard of the EarlyOrange Rise drink. What section of the store would I find it?
It is with the Crystal Light packages but it walmart brand. I dont care for the Crystal Light flavor of orange drink. This one is very good
What kind of low carb protein bars are those?
They are the Fit and Active Brand. I prefer two flavors the most. One is strawberry filling with a white coating on the outside. The other is a chocolate peanut butter flavor. They come in a box and are not sold individually. Once you subtract the fiber it comes to about 9 carbs per bar. Not bad for a meal replacement with an Atkins shake when I am working over and need something quick.
Where can I find the recipe for the broccoli salad? Thanks!
