Lunch to Go: This buddha bowl with air fried chickpeas is a winner

You don't need to batch cook, just put aside some of your favourite ingredients and assemble your office lunch according to how you feel on the day  

'Picky bits' are the key to a varied and delicious lunch every day.

I am not part of the #mealprep tribe. It may be convenient, but it does not work for me. But I see the merit in preparing food in advance of a busy week, and that's where ‘picky bits’ come in for me.

On a Sunday evening, I cook and cool one grain – right now it's bulghur wheat – and roast a tray of roasted vegetables and put aside some sort of protein. That way, I can assemble a nutritionally balanced bowl to take to work every day, which can vary based on how I’m feeling.
