No More Skipped lunches….


lean pockets 3
As soon as my feet hit the floor every morning I feel like it’s a race against the clock…everyday. Get everyone up, dressed, and fed. Take the dog out, change the laundry, let the dog in. Empty the dishwasher, load the dishwasher. Take the kids to the library, to visit grandma, and stop by the grocery store on the way home. Get everyone settled into an activity or playing with friends. Hit the gym. Fill the car up with gas and start making dinner….when suddenly I to realize I haven’t eaten anything today except for a soda and a granola bar or a handful of crackers that I stole from the kids. Sound familiar? And in the mean time I am dragging…tired…irritable and running out of steam. I function like this more than I’d like to admit. I love my life…I wouldn’t trade my kids for anything, I feel so lucky to have all the opportunities afforded to me through blogging, and I’m happy to be training for another marathon with my brothers this fall….but…some days (most days) it is a lot of work….and making myself a warm lunch isn’t usually on my to-do list. Although…it really should be. On days when I skip meals I feel tired and worn down which makes my regular routine so much harder…but then again I know I’m never going to take the time cook myself a hot lunch and so the cycle continues. Until recently. Recently I tried something new…and I will admit I was a little skeptical at first…but after I tried them I was hooked.

and they are delicious….spicy, gooey cheese and chicken wrapped in pretzel bread…which is great because I like things that are spicy and delicious…but here is why I was really hooked: *They have less calories (only 260) and more protein (12 grams) than the granola bars I usually grab on the way out the door. *They take less than 3 minutes to prepare from start to finish. *They are warm (and I love warm food). *They are inexpensive (costing less than $2 a pocket). *I can savor a delicious meal whether I’m on the go or sitting down to eat. *They contain no artificial flavors. It is a real solution for busy lifestyles…and a solution that not only allows me to continue my daily race against the clock but that I can also afford and feel good about eating. Which makes it easy to see why I am hooked. Here’s to no more skipped lunches! Thank you Lean Pockets!

    My lunch solution is to make healthy meals ahead of time for my kids, and have Lean Pockets with fruit and veges. Lean Pockets make an easy healthy lunch idea that is fast for a busy mom.

  7. Dawn M says

    My lunch solution lately is frozen low calorie meals. Not the best but I’m trying to lose weight.

  8. Jessica To says

    My son likes to have a Pepperoni Pizza Hot Pocket for lunch on his days off from school! It works well for us!

  13. Natalie says

    I always make my lunch the day before and I pack items that do not take a lot of preparation, such as apples, yogurt, or crackers.

  17. Kathy E. says

    My personal lunch time solution is to drain a can of water-packed tuna, mix in a tablespoon on light mayo along with a squirt of sweet pickle relish and seal it into a container with a snap on lid. I’ll add a piece or two of light wheat bread to make a sandwich during my lunch break. ON the side, I’ll have some fresh veggies with light ranch dip and a piece of fruit. It’s a power lunch that keeps me full til dinner time!

  28. Kristen says

    My lunchtime solution is make extra at dinnertime and heat up the leftovers for lunch the next day.

  30. Amy Tong says

    I often make a big potato salad at the beginning of the week and then take it to lunch every day.

  40. Tamra H says

    I like to make extra portions at dinner time so it’s easy to take leftovers to work. I always look forward to a nice hot meal!

  54. OFG says

    I cut up vegetables and make sandwiches a few days before. When mealtime comes I just throw everything in a bowl or plate and eat.

    These Lean Pockets look really good! My go to lunch is a peanut butter and banana sandwich with chopped dates and honey. I like it on wheat bread and prefer one end to be the heal of the loaf!

  82. Anne says

    For me, lunch has to be quick and easy or I’m just going to snack my way through the day. I try to keep things like yogurt, peanut butter, and pre-portioned leftovers on hand for a good but simple lunch.

  89. Kerry says

    A lot of times I just grab hummus and some veggies and pita chips. These are on my list though!

    Luckily I have a hubby whose a great cook. I always bring leftovers of his fabulous dinners for lunch.

  103. angie says

    My personal lunch time solution is to have frozen meals (like Lean Pockets) on hand for both me and my hubby. They are fast and easy and can be nutritious, if you are willing to spend a bit more.

  109. Jerry Marquardt says

    My favorite lunchtime treat is to have some Philly Steak Seasoned Crust Hot Pockets.

  117. Annette says

    My personal lunchtime solution is leftovers that either don’t need reheating or can be quickly reheated in a microwave.

  119. Kathryn C says

    I usually have leftovers for lunch if there is anything left. If not, I have soup or salad and 1/2 of a sandwich or pita pocket.
