8 Healthy Lunch Options for Corporate Seminars

A Mediterranean lunch experience brings a balance of flavour, nutrition, and elegance. This option typically includes fresh vegetables, lean proteins, and heart-healthy olive oil.

  • Mezze Platters: Vibrant spreads of hummus, baba ghanoush, tzatziki, and tabbouleh, served with fresh pita and crudités.
  • Grilled Protein Options: Choose marinated chicken skewers, lemon-herb salmon, or falafel for vegetarian attendees.
  • Salads: Offer refreshing options like Greek salad with feta or quinoa salad with roasted vegetables.

This style of lunch is both light and satisfying, perfect for keeping attendees alert.

Sushi and Sashimi Experience

For a sophisticated yet healthy option, consider a sushi and sashimi experience. HOMETAINMENT’s expert chefs can prepare fresh, beautifully presented sushi on-site, ensuring quality and taste.

  • Sashimi Selection: Offer fresh salmon, tuna, and vegetarian alternatives like beet or avocado sashimi.
  • Add-On Sides: Include seaweed salad, miso soup, and edamame for a complete meal.

Sushi is not only nutritious but also visually stunning, creating a memorable lunch experience.

Build-Your-Own Grain Bowls

Interactive food stations, like a build-your-own grain bowl bar, are a hit for corporate events. Attendees can customise their bowls, ensuring everyone gets a meal they’ll enjoy.

  • Grain Base: Quinoa, brown rice, or farro provide a hearty yet healthy foundation.
  • Protein Options: Grilled chicken, tofu, or shrimp.
  • Toppings: Include roasted vegetables, avocado, seeds, nuts, and greens.
  • Dressings: Provide tahini, lemon vinaigrette, and other light, flavourful sauces.

This experience promotes engagement while offering a balanced, nutrient-packed meal.

Vegan Gourmet Creations

Vegan menus are no longer niche—they’re a celebrated choice for health-conscious attendees. HOMETAINMENT’s private chefs specialise in crafting plant-based meals that don’t compromise on flavour or presentation.

  • Stuffed Peppers: Filled with quinoa, black beans, and seasonal vegetables.
  • Vegan Pasta: Whole-grain pasta with a rich tomato-basil sauce or creamy avocado pesto.
  • Dessert: Coconut milk panna cotta with fresh berries.

These meals appeal to vegans and non-vegans alike, ensuring a wide-reaching impact.

Farm-to-Table Salads and Soups

Highlight seasonal and locally sourced ingredients with a farm-to-table approach. HOMETAINMENT chefs craft salads and soups that are both wholesome and sophisticated.

Lunch Options:

  • Salads: Roasted beet and goat cheese salad, or mixed greens with citrus and toasted nuts.
  • Soups: Butternut squash soup with a hint of spice, or a light and comforting minestrone.
  • Artisan Bread: Pair with fresh sourdough or whole-grain rolls.

These offerings are light enough to prevent post-lunch fatigue while providing ample nourishment.

Mexican-Inspired Healthy Bowls

A Mexican-inspired lunch brings bold flavours and customisation to your seminar. HOMETAINMENT’s chefs can create dishes that are packed with vegetables, lean proteins, and vibrant spices.
