Today we're showcasing our favorite healthy lunches perfect for work, school, or travel. When you're on the go, having nutritious options that are both satisfying and portable makes all the difference in your day. These power-packed meals require minimal prep but deliver maximum flavor. After discovering these convenient options, you'll wonder how you ever survived on sad desk lunches or junk-filled takeout. Now, let's dive into our top five ways to revolutionize your lunch game!

#1 - Chickpea Salad

Mashing canned chickpeas with a potato masher, creates a flaky texture that resembles tuna, turkey, or chicken from the pre-plantbased days. When mixed up with seasonings and a good oil-free sauce, it makes a hearty salad that you can use just like you would a tuna salad: in wraps, sandwiches, or on a bed of greens. It travels well too; we like to throw some in mason jars to pack for our camping trips. It tastes good at pretty much any temperature and it keeps so well in the fridge. Great for meal prep!

#2 - Wraps

Wraps offer the perfect on-the-go meals for busy days and can be prepared in a variety of ways! Our McReebs Wrap is probably the most popular and quickly became a staple in our community. It is complete with all the fixings of a regular burger while being ready to eat in just 10 minutes! Make sure to keep some Trader Joe’s whole wheat lavash on hand, so you can make a fast wrap in a pinch.

#3 - Toothsome Salads

Nobody likes a soggy salad, which is why we love toothsome salads! Instead of greens, these salads are filled with starches and veggies. Make a big batch of one of these recipes and enjoy it all week long. If you still want greens, keep them separate until it is time to eat. Then you can place the salad on a bed of lettuce, spinach, or spring mix.

#4 - Leftovers

Having leftovers on hand is a game-changer! Making a double or triple batch of a meal requires minimal extra effort while providing ready-to-eat meals for the following days. We especially love hearty dishes for leftovers like soups, stews, and pasta dishes. Find the recipes you love and make those on repeat.

#5 - Patties & Other Starchy Dippers

Finger foods are not only great for kids, but adults too! Plus, they make the perfect meal when you don’t have access to utensils. We absolutely love having cooked potatoes on hand that can be used to PIMP (Potato In My Pocket) or make healthy fries, perfect for dipping. If potatoes aren’t your thing, Chickpea Nuggets or Falafels might be up your alley.
