Get Saucy

If you're feeling bored with your lunch, try saucing it up. Eat Strong founder Sophie Pachella advises you to be a little more creative. Rather than always going for the same salad or sandwich ingredients, try one new item everyday. Liven up grilled veggies with Worcestershire sauce, tumeric, tarragon or ginger. Add watercress, avocado or crunchy jicama to a sandwich. Try one new fruit or vegetable a day, even those you remember disliking as a child. You'd be surprised how taste buds can change. Artichokes, spaghetti squash, leeks, asian pears, plums, blackberries — we tend to stick to staples. It's no surprise then that we turn to other treats to alleviate food-boredom.
