Hey
Does anyone have any healthy lunch ideas for university? I don't have access to a microwave on campus so I need lunch that does not need to be warmed

    Hey! How about cold chicken wraps? Or cous cous salad?

    Wraps are a great idea! Also I would recommend a salad, or even a classic pb&j (just be light on the pb.) You can find a bunch of rad bento boxes online (like bentgo.. they make a few good ones) and you can fill those with whatever. One of my (admittedly weird) go-tos back when I didn't have a microwave was a portion of quinoa, and then I would have a side portion of chipotle dressing that I would mix in with some hot sauce, and then on the bottom some steamed veggies I could eat cold.

    Salads w/o dairy such as 3 bean, Spinach Salad, etc. If you have access to a keurig only for example they do make kcup soups.

    You can also do bento box meals. There's a thread on here with a lot of good ideas

    Sandwiches, fruit, and salad would be a good start.

    That would be good. But OP, what are your goals?

    Mix protein powder into plain yogurt, add berries and granola. Be careful when buying granola though, some are packed with sugar. I use Bear Naked Fit vanilla almond granola.

    I love chicken or tuna salads. With mayo, onions,lime,cilantro and bell peppers. It's soo good! Especially with corn tortilla chips and tapatio hot sauce !

    Get a thermos. It will keep soups and stews warm for hours.

    I like grain salads served room temperature. Try Bulger wheat instead of couse cous. I roast eggplant and onion,garlic. Add chick peas, feta, toasted pine nuts and chopped parsley. Add a lemon vinaigrette and the cooked bulger. Delicious!

    A second the vote for grain and bean salads :) You can add a lot of veggies to these (raw or roasted).
