Easy Meal Prep Cold Lunches for Work

These Easy Meal Prep Cold Lunches for Work mean no more boring lunch boxes! No microwave is required to enjoy these easy, healthy meals.

Hi friends!

Yesterday I shared 25 Healthy Meal Prep Lunch Ideas and I hope they were helpful. Today I wanted to focus on work lunches that taste delicious when eaten cold. Not everyone has access to a way to heat their lunch at work so I wanted to pull together some cold ideas if you’re tired of sandwiches and yogurt.

Meal Prep Lunch Box Ideas – Pasta

• Cold Sesame Noodle Meal Prep Bowls via Sweet Peas and Saffron – Storing the sauce separately helps these bowls stay fresh all week long!
• Greek Orzo Salad in a Jar via How Sweet Eats – By keeping the sauce on the bottom and orzo on top, these store easily in the fridge for a quick lunch option.
• Mexican Pasta Salad via Healthy Seasonal – A fun way to change things up from tacos and nachos.
• Peanut Soba Noodle Salad via Pinch of Yum – Cold soba noodle salads are my favorite. This one is full of flavor!
