Today I want to share with you
some of my fastest lunch recipes
so you can pack healthy lunches, even when time is tight.
When you pack lunches everyday,
sometimes you have to find your inspiration
from many places online.
But the key is to have your ingredients ready
so meal prep is always a good idea.
And when I say meal prep, I mean, boiling some eggs
so you have hard boiled eggs to add to a lunchbox,
having fresh fruit and veggies available,
that sort of thing.
A little prep will have you everything on hand
to pull together a healthy lunch in just five minutes
which is much better for you and cheaper
than the things you can buy at lunchtime.
If you're a salad person, I love a good taco salad.
Taco Tuesday leftovers never go to waste at my house,
and they get put to good use.
Or you can go the pasta salad route
with an incredible Cobb pasta salad
that you can make ahead of time
and keep it in the fridge.
I usually cook about four to six strips of bacon
and keep them in the fridge
to pull these things off quickly.
A Cobb salad can also be made in about a minute
with leftover pasta from dinner.
Toss it in a large bowl with some cherry tomatoes,
hard boiled egg, et cetera.
When you have the ingredients in the fridge, its easy peezy.
Pasta salads pack nicely inside a lunch container
and they hold up really well throughout the day.
I also like ideas that are quite substantial
and will keep me full throughout the day.
So this hummus stuffed avocado is killer.
All you have to do is half the avocado,
top it with hummus, sprinkle some fetta cheese
and kalamata olives.
This idea is a real deal, my friend.
Another quick idea is simply a bistro box.
Packed with the ingredients that you have around
like cheese, boiled eggs, apple slices,
baby carrots and crackers.
You want to make sure that the crackers are separate
from the wet ingredients so they don't get soggy.
While this isn't a huge lunch,
you can also throw in a yogurt, a guacamole single
and some celery inside the lunchbox.
Endless possibilities, I tell you.
Quick, simple and one, you can pack way ahead of time.
By the way, if you're wondering what the best containers
are to use to make a healthy school or office lunch,
make sure to check the description box below this video.
I've made some comparison videos on this channel
and I also link them for you and where to buy them online.
I also whip up some tuna or salmon salad
in just a couple of minutes,
and using it to stuff a pita.
The salad part can be made ahead of time,
and you can stuff the pita in just a matter of minutes.
Last, but not least,
if you have some rotisserie chicken around,
you can make chicken salad.
And with that chicken salad, my friend,
you can make so many things in a matter of minutes.
Like wraps, a sandwich, a salad, stuff an avocado,
quesadillas and so many more.
I'll link all those in the helpful lunch videos right below
in the description box
so you can make sure to check that out.
And let me know in the comments below
