However, not everyone is a fan of those leafy greens! For those looking to have a little more, yet retain the healthy factor, here are some other food options to have in mind:1. Burrito bowlsHealthy Fitness MealsBurrito bowls are filling, and healthy; plus, they pack a punch with the aesthetic factor too! Anything goes in a burrito bowl \u2013 load yours up with avocado cubes, fresh vegetables, cheese cubes, tomatoes, corn, black beans, and more.Add a choice of protein; grilled chicken or baked salmon are popular favourites. If you\u2019d like, you can even dress your burrito bowl with Greek yoghurt, hot sauce, salsa, diced onions, pickled jalapenos\u2026 it\u2019s entirely up to you!2. Zucchini noodlesInspired TasteNow, this might be something new to most of you. This dish looks entirely like pasta but, look closer, and you\u2019ll realise that the noodles aren\u2019t made out of flour \u2013 they are actually made out of zucchini! Use a vegetable peeler \u2013 or a spiraliser if you have one \u2013 to turn a zucchini into stringy ribbons before tossing them in a delicious pesto sauce.Feel free to add kale to your pesto sauce for an added healthy zing, together with lots of parmesan cheese and cherry tomatoes.3. WrapsLikeMeat\/UnsplashThese are easily one of the most delicious, yet easiest, things to make for a quick lunch on the go. There are so many different types of wraps you can make \u2013 stuff a tortilla wrap with chicken, chicken, fried fish, avocado, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, hummus, or cajun prawns.\u00a0Get creative with the seasoning for your proteins; add chipotle or barbecue sauce, toss the proteins in Caesar dressing, or spicy garlic powder. You can switch it up with steak or tuna, depending on which suits your fancy!4. Roasted vegetablesFood NetworkEnjoy a rainbow on a plate with a roasted vegetables bowl. Easily prepared in 30 minutes or less, this option is great for those that are strapped for time.\u00a0Be spoilt for choice with a variety of vegetables \u2013 add potatoes, sweet potatoes, beets, carrots, avocados, pumpkin, broccolini, kale, peppers, or collard greens. Dress them up with garlic or curry powder, or sea salt, and voila! Your delicious, wholesome, and nutritious meal is ready.5. QuinoaSimply ScratchQuinoa is a small grain-like alternative that is often consumed in the place of rice and pasta. Offering a slightly nutty flavour, the grain is packed with protein and fibre, naturally gluten-free, and contains magnesium, iron, and other antioxidants.\u00a0Add a little fresh acidity with slices of mango; combine with some kale, edamame, and cranberries; and throw in a little crunch with a few pecans.6. Avocado egg cupsJJ VirginAvocado is often seen as a superfood, and it\u2019s easy to see why! Besides being full of nutrients and vitamins \u2013 think: potassium, vitamin E, vitamin C, folate, and so on \u2013 avocados are also said to help regulate cholesterol levels. Fun fact: avocados actually contain more potassium than bananas! Avocados also contain plenty of healthy fats.However, avocados do have a rather mild taste. Circumvent this by making avocado egg cups \u2013 add an egg into the hole made by the seed, and top with ham, cheese, and chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste. These are not only good for you, but look good and taste good too!7. SandwichesLuckyLife11\/PixabayAnd of course, how can we leave out the good old sandwich? Take your pick \u2013 make yourself a hearty pulled pork sandwich, a creamy egg mayonnaise (in moderation, of course!) sandwich, or a good old steamed chicken sandwich. The options are endless!So, the next time you\u2019re sick of eating the usual salad, try to switch it up a little with any of the above options. Here\u2019s to eating your way to a whole new you! Join the conversations on THG’s\u00a0Facebook\u00a0and\u00a0Instagram, and get the latest updates via\u00a0Telegram.\u00a0"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Destinations","item":"https:\/\/thehomeground.asia\/destinations\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Singapore","item":"https:\/\/thehomeground.asia\/destinations\/\/singapore\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"7 Healthy Lunch Options for Those Sick of Salads","item":"https:\/\/thehomeground.asia\/destinations\/singapore\/7-healthy-lunch-options-for-those-sick-of-salads\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
