[quote=jindc]thanks, all.  
I think I have a list in my head of what to grab for work - Luna bars for sure (probably minis, though - they have them at Target last tine I checked...and at Athleta...I take a lot whenever I'm there!).  Also, more veggies to dip in hummus vs using the hummus as my sandwich spread.  Carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers.  Cheese sticks (sort of sick of baby bell)

I really want to add more leafy greens, but it's difficult - I'm hoping to get a Vitamix for my birthday, which would make it way easier (spinach, blueberry, and pineapple smothies!)

The carrot soup wasn't a link, I just made it up. Here's what I did:

sauteed three trimmed and cleaned leeks in a little EVOO and butter (omit butter if vegan), salt and pepper to taste
Once translucent, add chopped cleaned carrots - about 1 to 1.5lbs.  Stir to coat in oil/butter.  Add a tsp of cumin, tsp of all spice, tsp of ground ginger or whatever you have on hand. 
Add 1 can of rinsed chick peas
add veggie or chicken stock to cover the veggies and cook until carrots are soft (the smaller the pieces, the faster it cooks).

Puree to desired smoothness and reheat. Thin with more stock as desired.  Add some cream at the end if you'd like.  Fresh orance juice works well at the end, too.

Topped it with a little fat free plain greek yogurt.

I wanted some leftovers because THATS a good lunch to bring to work![/quote]
