ISO Lunch/Snacks Prep Help

jenniferormesher

I'm in need of your best lunch/snack meal prep ideas. I'm a teacher so leaving for lunch in not an option. Also, I have a student with a peanut allergy, so that's out. I've never done this before and all help is appreciated! Happy Friday!

My current favorite sandwich spread is a puree of 1 can chickpeas (drained/rinsed), 1/4 c. walnut pieces, 4 T. Dijon mustard (I use the grainy kind), 1 clove garlic, juice of 1/2 lemon, and black pepper to taste. This is really good with about a 1 oz pile of baby kale or other greens, and I'm sure other veggies would be just as good. I like roasted veggies for lunch, even cold and leftover. My favorite combination is frozen Brussels sprouts (cut in half or smaller), diced butternut squash and diced Pink Lady apples. I roast them without oil on parchment paper, oven 420F for about 45 minutes. I do russet and sweet potato "fries" that way, too, and dip them in ketchup. It's possible to eat them cold. If you have a Thermos, you could bring soup for lunch, or any leftovers, really.

I buy 1 bunch of kale for $1 every Sunday. Chop it up and cook it in water with some dried mixed veg. I either season with yellow coconut curry, soy sauce with sesame, or "slap ya mama". Add protein of choice (salmon, chicken, sometimes veggie burger or tuna/salmon pouch). This usually makes at least 3 lunches. You can add brown rice, shirataki or soba noodles to stretch it farther. I use leftovers from dinner, hard boiled eggs, Greek yogurt and fruit to fill in gaps.
