Cold Lunches
When it comes to lunchtime, meal prep can be a life saver – you don’t want to be worried about cooking something in the middle of the workday. If you don’t have access to a microwave or you’re eating on the go, there are still plenty of lunches you can meal prep that don’t require any reheating.
I rounded up some of my favourite cold lunch ideas that are super easy and so delicious! Just pull them out of the fridge and dig in.
Boxes and Bowls
These bento boxes and meal prep bowls make excellent lunches! There are even some simple no-cook options like the Healthy Bento Boxes that come together in just mere minutes.
