Are you tired of eating unhealthy takeouts for lunch? I hear you and I’ve been there. Somedays I would end up spending tons of money each week on lunches that I wasn’t even satisfied with. It’s time to change this into a healthier habit with these meal prep ideas! One of my main tips for prepping for the week is to have a plan! Decide when and how you are going to make this work. Choose a day during the week that will work best for prepping- for me this is on Sundays. Prepare for the week by creating a list of meals you would like to have for lunches and then head to the store with your list. Purchase reusable glass or plastic containers that you enjoy so you can make this process more fun and convenient. Depending on your specific diet of choice, fruits and veggies are great way to add variety to your lunch plans. Each of these ideas has a fruit paired with it, feel free to mix and match the fruits and veggie choices.
