Healthy Lunch - Light Recipes for Lunch

Braai Toasties

These little gems can be done on the braai and will keep beautifully if wrapped up well, to take to work the next day. You can also make these toasties under the grill. You can’t go wrong with cheese, tomato, mayo and Robertson’s Braai & Grill All-in-One Spice. You can actually add any filling you want too, like ham, bacon, feta or boerewors.

Mexican Mince Tacos

Tacos are always a great idea, and this recipe is one of our favourite easy lunch ideas. If you want to take the tacos to work, we suggest keeping the fillings separate from the taco shells themselves to avoid them getting soggy during the day.
