Get your month worth of healthy lunches with recipes, ideas and pictures! These healthy lunches will sure give you the jump start on springing into health!
Hey guys! Happy Tasty Tuesday!
Let’s talk healthy lunches today, shall we?
I always pack lunch unless something really unexpected happens that prevents me from making my lunch the night before or putting it together from dinner leftovers.
VERY rarely would I go out or order take out for lunch. Not because I’m boring, no 🙂 Because I just like a good, homemade healthy meal 3 times a day. Or at least two (rain check for the chicken wings night 😉 ).
Anyway, I thought I’d share my 6 days and 4 weeks of healthy lunches with you today so you can see that it is possible to make and eat healthy lunches – every work day for four weeks. Why 6? Because you can eat water ever you want for lunch on Sunday and nobody is going to judge you 🙂
Here we go!

Lena, how do you think of all those lunch ideas? I literally have eaten the same lunch for two or three years now….
I just like variety 🙂 I’d be bored out of my mind eating the same thing every day, so that forces me to be creative 🙂
I tend to eat the same thing for lunch most days and don’t really branch out. Some of these look really great thanks for sharing!

Hi Deborah 🙂 Not sure how your math worked out there but thank you 🙂
I think I want to eat some of your lunches! I definitely do leftovers but my standby favorites when I don’t have leftovers are tuna with avocado, veggies, & crackers, anything that I can put on top of a sweet potato, and a ginormous salad. That quinoa taco salad looks amazing, by the way! 🙂

Thanks, Jennifer! I do leftovers too, but salad is kind of my “go to” usually.
