Meal prepping healthy lunches for the week on a busy evening is...ambitious. But I also don't have the time—or budget—for trekking outside for a $20 salad that isn’t even that good. Luckily, I found 82 easy lunch ideas that are fast, satisfying, low-lift and delicious. I love these recipes for their simplicity, as well as their portability. Many of them can also be made ahead for maximum convenience.
With everything from chicken salad-stuffed peppers to radish barbecue bowls with honey mustard dressing on the menu, this handy list of lunch ideas will keep you satisfied for months to come. If sandwiches are your go-to, I have plenty of options, like Buffalo chicken wraps. Pasta stans will love the linguine with bacon, peaches and gorgonzola, while veggie fans can opt for shredded Thai salad with avocado. There are even no-cook meals for balmy nights when you don't want to turn on the stove, like zoodles with avocado and mango sauce.
The TLDR? Bookmark this page now and you'll always know what's for lunch.
