Packing a healthy, balanced lunch keeps your body fueled for the day – and helps you steer clear of fast food, takeout and vending machines. You’ll eat healthier, cut calories and save money by bringing a lunch from home. That’s why we’re challenging you to incorporate this healthy habit into your lifestyle and pack yourself a lunch Monday through Friday for four weeks. But don’t worry – we’ve made it super simple.
Below you’ll find two recipes for each week: one for a main lunch and one for a snack. Twice a week, on Sunday and Wednesday, you’ll take a little bit of time to prepare your meals. Each recipe makes one meal, so you’ll have to multiply it by the number of lunches you’re making at a time.
Tip: get your food storage containers and reusable lunch bag ready.
We’ve made each recipe nutritious, delicious and simple, so it won’t take too long to prepare, but feel free to use any of your own favorite recipes too. By the end of the four weeks, you’ll be a meal prep pro and on your way to developing healthier habits that will help you reach your weight loss goals. Are you up for the challenge?
Here’s how it works:
- Each Sunday and Wednesday, use the recipes below to prepare your lunches and snacks for that week. Each recipe makes a lunch and snack for one day.
- Post about your journey using #MyGoalsMyWay for a chance to win free products and swag!
