What to put into your lunchbox
A balanced meal has to contain all nutrients: good carbs, proteins, good fats.
Whole wheat offers you the right carbs and a steady supply of energy, plus if your belly feels full, you won’t eat any extras. You can choose between rice, black rice, pasta or cous cous.
Vegetables, either fresh or cooked.
Eat proteins: tuna, tofu, parmesan, chicken or mackerel.
Don’t forget to add a spoon of olive oil, which supplies the good fats.

Here’s a spelt salat with veggies and parmesan.
Ingredients:
– Spelt
– Tomatoes
– Rocket
– Zucchini
– Carrots
– Celery
– One red radicchio leaf
– Olive oil
– Salt and turmeric to taste
– Parmesan
Directions.
Cut the tomato, carrots, celery and zucchini to little cubes. Sear them in a pan with water and salt. Meanwhile, cook the spelt and dry it when ready. Let it cool.
When the spelt is cool, add the vegetables you’re previously cooked. Now add rocket leaves, olive oil and parmesan. Take care to place a radicchio leaf first in your box, that will serve as if it were the actual container of your salad.
