How to Meal Prep School Lunch Ideas

Making lunches ahead of time is the best way to save time and sanity on busy mornings. Packing lunches will also steer you clear of those tempting unhealthy microwave meals waiting for you in the company lunch room. These recipes are nearly as easy to make as those packages of Ramen noodles, and they taste SO much better – plus they're so much healthier for you too!

I like to personally pick one or two recipes to meal prep so I don't get overwhelmed trying to make too much at once. Your Instant Pot and Slow Cooker are great for batch cooking big meals all at once, but jarred salads and no cook meals that aren't sandwiches are just as fun and more kid-friendly so it just depends on who exactly you're making lunch for! There's a little bit of something for everyone in this awesome round up of school lunches!
