Easy healthy lunch ideas

Build a simple plate

Many people start with something filling, add a protein, then pile on vegetables. A grain bowl, a wrap or a big salad all follow the same pattern.

Cook once, eat twice

Make a pot of soup, a tray of roasted vegetables or a batch of grains and eat it for a few days. It is the easiest way to avoid a rushed, unplanned lunch.

Keep shortcuts in the pantry

Canned beans, tuna, hummus and pre-washed greens turn into a lunch in five minutes.

Keep your meals and routines in one place

Log meals, water and your daily rituals in one private journal. Free, no sign-up, and it stays on your device.

Add color and crunch

Cucumber, peppers, shredded carrot or a handful of nuts make a plain lunch more satisfying.

Pack it so you will eat it

Food you prepared the night before is more likely to be eaten than a good intention. Keep it cold or warm in the right container.
