While nobody wants to spend $20+ on a café lunch, the idea of eating the same old made-at-home sandwiches every work day isn’t appealing either.
But down the tuna salad and look here. We’ve got seven super easy and healthy lunches that are perfect for taking into the office. And if you love these ideas, check out our I Quit Sugar: The Lunchbox Book for more!
Cheat’s Chicken Caesar Salad
You could pay $17 for a Caesar salad from the café down the road, or you could make your own (and not have to wait in the queue!). Prep the ingredients the night before and this recipe will take just five minutes, leaving you with 55 more minutes of your lunch hour to check Facebook and play Candy Crush.
Steak + Carrots In A Jar
You’ll be the most hipster person in the office for sure, but you’ll also be the one with the best lunch. The best part is that this recipe makes four, so you can simply refill your jar for the next day.
Paneer Tikka Masala
Reheat this in the microwave and you’ll have co-workers flocking to know, “What is that amaaaaazing smell?!”. So much better than your co-workers greasy Indian takeaway.
Corn Fritters with Bacon + Avocado Salsa
Whether you’re zapping these as leftovers or making them from scratch in your office kitchen, these fritters are remarkably simple. Chop, mix, fry… all-day breakfast coming your way!
Chicken Burrito Bowl
Make the chicken the night before, chop up a bunch of veggies, and come the next day you’ll have a salad that tastes like a burrito. Omnomnom.
Fridgalicious Frittata
Do you have half a dozen vegetables which look kind of on their last legs? Don’t throw ‘em out! Frittata fixes everything.
Vegan Vietnamese Pho
Want to know a neat tip? Make the broth at home and, when it comes time for lunch, heat until boiling, pour over the noodles and herbs, and cover. The noodles will soften and the herbs will become fragrant. What a pho-nomenon (sorry!).
