Nikki's List - Lunch Ideas for the Week!
August 12, 2024
Need some fun lunch ideas to try this week? Here’s a round up of my favorite and most-made lunches 😊
Lemon Orzo Soup
If you love chicken noodle soup, you’ll really enjoy this bright and sunny Lemon Orzo Soup. It’s hearty and comforting with lots of veggies, white beans, orzo, and kale, and it’s great for meal prep. Make a batch today and then simply reheat for simple lunches throughout the week 🍋
Reheating tip: add a splash of water or broth as needed when reheating because this soup will thicken as it sits in the fridge.
My Favorite Sub Sandwich
Here’s a video I shared on YouTube last year! It’s my favorite Subway-inspired sandwich and some tips for making an ESPECIALLY delicious sub for school or work. This will make you excited about lunch time!
Packing it to go? Pack the dressing on the side and then put it on the sandwich when you’re ready to eat. That way it won’t get soggy in your lunch box 🥖
PB + J Waffle Sandwiches
This Back to School Lunch video is a few years old at this point, but I still love making these fun bento boxes when packing my lunch!
Creamy Italian White Beans
Protein-packed and indulgently creamy, this 15 minute meal starts with canned white beans quick-simmered with sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and tahini. The result is a richly flavorful, creamy bean skillet that pairs perfectly with warm sourdough bread for dipping.
Healthy, easy to make, super satisfying – this will quickly become your new lunch favorite recipe!
Packing it to go? Place the beans in a heat-safe container and wrap up some bread separately. That way you can reheat the beans when you get to school or work.
Savory White Bean + Veggie Scramble
This hearty beans ‘n greens combo is incredibly energizing, so it’s a great way to fuel your way through a busy work day! It takes about 5-7 minutes to make so it’s great for work from home lunches.
I hope you enjoy these lunch ideas! Please send this roundup to a friend who might find it helpful!
