NEED HELP WITH PALEO LUNCHES

Chiileo5021

I am trying to find simple lunches that fit the paleo lifestyle. All I find are mock ups of fat food like the meatball sub on zucchini, and Sweet Potato Nachos. As Awesome as those sound - its not for me.

And for some reason I cannot think of just typical simple lunches.

Any ideas?

I buy Birdseye steamable veggies and grill up chicken strips on Sunday's and portion it out. You can change up the flavors.

Apple, chicken, cranberry and pecan salad
Shrimp with zucchini noodles
Salmon with steamed broccoli
Sliders on sliced sweet potatoes
Pulled pork stuffed sweet potatoes
Tacos in lettuce leaves
Cucumber, mint and chicken salad
Shrimp, mango and avocados

I keep things simple. Protein and veg, sometimes a fruit. Ziploc makes a steamer bag that literally just takes minutes to cook a frozen chicken breast and it doesn't turn it to rubber. I also live for left overs. Even easier!!

Once a month, I spend a weekend making & freezing the following meals:

I also prepare & vacuum seal & freeze:

Then through out the week, I make steak, sweet potatoes, meatloaf, etc. so that I will always have a variety to choose from. I always keep salad fixings on hand to make a healthy meal.

Another favorite that I make weekly is:

It makes packing lunches so much easier.

Hope this will give some ideas to those interested.
