While it might still go ahead and take equivalent time altogether, most of us may have an hour around the weekend versus 10 to 12 minutes every week day morning. There always seems to be an excessive amount of to complete before getting out the door, and achieving a homemade lunch pre-made and ready to go is simply so nice. Here are some of my top picks that are not only easy to put together, however they store well within the fridge.
- Fruit and cheese plate: The best part about this one is that each week can be different! Maybe 1 week you select bleu cheese, fresh sliced pears, and a crusty baguette. And the next week, you can combine sharp white cheddar, crisp green apples, and wheat grains crackers.
- Burrito bowl: Having the ability to make my very own burrito bowls keeps down the junk food, and healthier since I control all ingredients. I like to combine brown rice, diced rotisserie chicken, shredded cheese, guacamole, and broccoli slaw for crunch. Make sure to place the cold items into cupcake liners to be able to take them off from the container before warming up the rice and chicken.
- Deconstructed sandwich: Sandwiches can get soggy, especially if you make them too much ahead of time. However, you can still prep everything on Sunday, just leave it all separated before you will be ready to eat it. I find that sandwich thins or pita pockets endure well. You can go on and incorperate your meat and cheese, just keep your lettuce and condiments separate until lunchtime.
One of the most basic things for making this whole process come together is the right containers. I love my iKitchenPlus Bento Food Container Set with 3 Compartments; I don't know if I could accomplish it without one!
