Organic on the go

 

 

Say so long to uninspiring meal deals and sad sandwiches. We think that lunch should be a chance to get as much organic deliciousness as dinnertime - we want nutritious, delicious, and organic lunches that are  quick, portable, and packed with goodness. Sometimes all we need is a little inspiration and a little planning.
 

Get The Kit

We think every delicious packed lunch needs a handy, plastic free lunch kit to make morning prep a little more joyful and a lot more sustainable.
Here are some of our favourite lunchtime accessories:

Stainless Steel Lunch Box

Durable and eco-friendly, stainless steel lunch boxes keep your meals fresh without the dangers of harmful chemicals found in plastic leaching into your food.
We like this lunchbox set from Mintie which comes with a little pot for your salad dressing too. 

Bamboo Cutlery

Say goodbye to single-use plastics with a set of bamboo cutlery. Lightweight,  sturdy, and naturally antimicrobial, bamboo is a great alternative to metal cutlery when out and about.
We like this set from Wild & Stone which comes with its own carry case.

Reusable Sandwich Wraps

These versatile wraps are perfect for keeping your sandwiches fresh without the need for cling film. You can get beeswax and vegan food wraps  but we particularly like these pure linen reusable sandwich wraps from Helen Round Design.
 

 

Our top organic picks for lunch on the go

Organic Chicken Legs

Organic chicken legs are packed with high-quality protein, essential for muscle repair and overall health. They’re also rich in B vitamins, which support energy metabolism, and zinc, which helps boost the immune system. The higher fat content in the legs also provides healthy fats that can help keep you fuller for longer. All this without antibiotics or synthetic chemicals, for cleaner, more nutritious meat. 

How To Serve:

Cold Chicken Leg Wraps

Shred leftover roasted organic chicken legs and wrap them in whole wheat tortillas with avocado, spinach, and a dressing made from Greek yoghurt, a squeeze of lemon juice and a teaspoon of Dijon mustard

Chicken Salad 

Layer cold, shredded chicken legs in a jam jar with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and feta cheese. Pack a small jar of balsamic vinaigrette and toss it together when you're ready to eat.

Chicken & Quinoa Bowl

Combine shredded organic chicken with cooked quinoa, roasted vegetables, and a handful of spinach or rocket. Dress with olive oil and lemon juice.

Mediterranean Chicken Pita

Fill a whole grain pita bread with cold, sliced chicken, hummus, chopped cucumber, red onion, fresh mint and black olives.


Organic Salmon Fillets

Organic salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, lean protein, and essential vitamins like Vitamin D and B12, all of which support brain function, muscle repair, and overall body health. Its omega-3s help reduce inflammation in the body, improve cholesterol levels, and keep your brain healthy.

How To Serve:

Salmon Sushi Bowl

Create a sushi inspired bowl by layering cold poached organic salmon, brown rice, avocado slices, pickled ginger, and cucumber. Drizzle with soy sauce or tamari.

Salmon & Chickpea Salad

Mix cold, flaked salmon with chickpeas, diced cucumber, tomatoes, and parsley. Add a dressing of tahini, lemon juice, and garlic with a splash of water to loosen.

Salmon Noodles

Cook egg noodles and toss in a dressing of soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, and garlic and add cooked, cold salmon.

Salmon Niçoise Salad

Toss boiled organic eggs, green beans, olives, and flaked salmon over a bed of mixed greens. Pack a separate pot of red wine vinegar and mustard dressing and add when you're ready to eat to prevent your leaves going mushy.


 

Organic Beef Silverside Joint

Our organic beef joints are a rich source of high quality protein for muscle repair and growth, packed with iron for energy and B12 for nerve health. They offer these essential nutrients without excess fat, making it a great addition to a balanced diet.

How To Serve:

Classic Roast Beef Sandwich

Thick granary bread with slices of tender roast beef with lettuce, tomato and a spoon of English mustard.

Beef, Beetroot and Grain Bowl

Our beef salad makes the most of leftover roast beef, earthy beetroot, filling grains and gut friendly ferments. Find out more.

Beef and Blue Cheese Salad

Greek Style Beef Pita
