BENTO BOX LUNCH IDEAS | for work or back to school + healthy meal prep recipes
No microwave at work? No problem. These healthy cold lunch ideas can be left in the fridge or an insulated bag with a cooler until you’re ready to eat. From chilled quinoa bowls and simple salads to mini charcuterie boards these midday meals are irresistible. Recipes like our Spicy Salmon Sushi Roll-Ups and Chickpea Salad Sandwich are grab-and-go lunches that are perfect for a refreshing bite during the workday.
Most of these recipes can be made ahead of time so you can have them for dinner and save the leftovers for the next day. If you opt for a sandwich recipe most sandwiches will keep in the refrigerator for a few days if stored properly in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Consider separating the ingredients in airtight containers for a fresher-tasting sandwich especially if they add moisture to the bread. This makes it easy to make before you leave the house. The same goes for salads: keeping ingredients separate is often best.
This pesto chicken quinoa bowl is packed with herbs from the basil pesto and Italian herb mix and gets a little kick from the red pepper. If you like the flavor profile this dish can also be made with orzo instead of quinoa.
