Healthy lunch ideas?

Looking for some quick healthy lunch ideas/recipes that aren't soup or salad....Also not a fan of the ryvitas!

I have access to microwave and toaster in work, but if it doesn't need heated that's even better!

This will be my year...I hope

Tuna pasta with sweetcorn and peas made the night before, or just stir fried veg like peppers and courgette, tinned toms with a bit of rice or orzo pasta again can be made night before and heated up. Sweet potato in the microwave with some spinach and creme fraiche in the middle. If I'm feeling less fancy, just a ham cucumber sandwich with pom bears and an apple 😂

I used to take a couscous salad with various veg and some chickpeas, that was very nice & quick to make.

I know you said not salad but one of my favourites is a warm salad. Greenbeans, asparagus, baby corn, button mushrooms, sugar snap peas. Cook in the microwave in a jug/bowl with a little bit of water and covered with cling film/loose lid for 3 minutes.

Drain, add a teaspoon of real butter, plenty of salt and pepper and then add in either a chopped up boiled egg or some cooked chicken slices.

Alternatives would be scrambled egg and a couple of slices of lean back bacon, or an omelette with peppers, onions, and whatever other veg you like.
