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!

  • Crunchy Cashew Quinoa Salad via Fit Mitten Kitchen – Bursting with flavor and packs a protein punch!
