Salad in the new lunch box
However, hunger often returns quickly after a light leaf salad with some vegetables. To ensure you are full and eat healthily, the right combination of salad is important! In our new Mason Jar lunchbox made of glass with a stainless steel bowl, you can take salad and dressing with you in one container. As soon as you are in the office: pour the dressing from the bowl over the salad, put the lid on and shake vigorously. This way the salad stays crisp and fresh without getting mushy because of the dressing. This means you can take your salad in a jar with you and enjoy it on the go.
Leaf salad and vegetables alone won't keep you full for a long time - so our tip: add fiber such as pulses (chickpeas or lentils), wholegrain rice or spelt. Spelt is really tasty, by the way - a bit like wholegrain rice, but coarser.
Fiber keeps you full for a long time and lunchtime is the best time for the intestines to digest. During the day, the intestines are basically waiting to be fed and still have plenty of time to work before they go into rest mode in the evening. Whole grain products, for example, take a particularly long time to be processed by the intestines - and that's exactly what our intestines love! It trains them and supplies our bodies with lots of important vitamins.

Lettuce:- 1 Ball Mason Jar | Lunch box 700 ml
