Keep costs down with these meal prep lunch ideas that will keep you going all week long. We rely on affordable ingredients like canned tuna ramen noodles and hard-boiled eggs to make these lunches filling and budget-friendly. Whether you prefer a fresh noodle salad or a quick burrito you’re sure to find something to please. Recipes like our Spinach Artichoke Salad with Parmesan Vinaigrette and Egg Salad Lettuce Wraps are easy to make pack and store so you’ll always have a healthy lunch on hand.
You might consider making these recipes if you want something lighter for dinner. Or they are perfect for those times when you have a late lunch with friends at a restaurant or you just came back from a long day of travel. These recipes are not only affordable but also something to look forward to.
For these meal-prep-friendly lettuce wraps we swap the traditional warm filling for a cold plant-based bean salad filling packed with fresh herbs and lemon. Topping each lettuce leaf with a bit of quinoa before adding the filling prevents the lettuce from getting soggy.
