Back to school means preparing healthy lunches for the week ahead.
I eat the best when I shop and prep for the next week. As such, I’ve gathered back-to-school healthy lunches for adults ideas with this concept in mind. No, you won’t be able to pull these meals together in five minutes before you run out the door. But you will be able to prep them in advance without a huge time commitment.
I’ve rounded up a mix of sandwiches, salads, bowls, and other fun lunch options, so you never have to feel like you’re eating the same thing every single week. There are both cold and hot dishes to further vary your lunch routine. Since it’s back-to-school healthy lunches for adults, I’ve focused on fall flavors, which will easily transition into winter.
