I make these high protein lunches when I'm short on time.

These totable midday meals are sure to help you get through an afternoon at work. Each serving of these simple 10-minute lunches contains at least 15 grams of protein which can help support healthy digestion strong bones and muscle growth. Plus protein can help keep you feeling fuller for longer so you won’t be distracted by a growling stomach throughout the day. Recipes like our Chopped Salad with Sriracha Tofu & Peanut Dressing and Caprese Sandwich are simple yet tasty ways to shake up your break room routine.

We love the retro look of these egg salad lettuce wraps. Iceberg lettuce is a perfect low-carb replacement for bread to serve egg salad.

Make four days’ worth of protein-packed vegan lunches with just four simple ingredients from your local grocery store including a veggie-rich salad mix as the base. Because this salad mix is nutrient-dense you can dress these bowls up to 24 hours before serving allowing the flavors in this healthy chopped salad to meld. If you can’t find a nutrient-dense mix opt for broccoli salad or shredded Brussels sprouts instead.
