Hey all,

What are your favourite healthy and reasonably cheap ideas for packed lunches? Do you tend to stick with sandwiches? I had fun devising a fortnightly shopping list/plan for weekday lunches (posted it at The Office Diet » 17 ingredients, 6 sandwiches, 10 days of fantastic, healthy, lunches if anyone's interested) but that was deliberately basic without too many options!

I'm looking for ideas to take to work which:
- Don't require heating
- Only need minimal (if any) preparation at lunchtime
- Don't cost too much
- Can be thrown together in 5-10 minutes in the morning.

I'm pretty good on basics (ham sandwiches, roasted veg in pitta breads, green salad) but looking for some slightly different options... my standby of "pitta bread with cream cheese, ham, lettuce and pickle" is starting to get a bit monotonous!

Cheers,

Ali
