You’re already saving yourself time and morning stress if you prepare and pack your lunch the night before you need it. Give yourself an even bigger break by preparing a week’s worth of simple “meal kits” on Sunday.
Taking your lunch to work or school every day is easy if you’re well-equipped with an assortment of travel containers, a little prep time on the weekend, and a few simple make-ahead recipe ideas, like those that follow. Besides organizing ingredients and preparing the main dish or two in advance, have some small snacks also ready to go, such as low-sugar flavored yogurts and individual-size cheese-nut-dried fruit combos, which you can purchase pre-packaged or measure out yourself. And don’t forget to fill and refrigerate your water bottle the night before!
