Lunch to go: Bring humble hummus in from the cold 

It's all well and good to snack your way through the working day but save a thought for sustaining protein. This delicious easy-to-make hummus will keep you satisfied all day long  

White bean hummus is delicious with batons of veggies, crackers or spread on a wrap.

With office life in full swing, I’m finding the ebb and flow of life al desko a little different than it was pre-pandemic and none more so than my eating habits. Following two years working at home, my body has settled into a rhythm around food that defies the “rules” of lunchtimes and tea breaks.

I have discovered that I am a grazer rather than a big meal eater, so when packing my lunch bag for days at the office I find myself thinking more about an array of nutrient-dense snack foods than one large meal. I pack small bags of nuts, some seed-based crackers, and lots of fruit, but this week I realised that I needed a hit of protein to maintain energy.
