20 Easy Lunch Recipes That Are Way Better Than Fast Food

It’s fairly easy to whip up something healthy for breakfast or dinner, but lunches are often an afterthought.

They just…happen…and sometimes the temptation of junk food is too great.

Or, maybe you dodge the break room pizza and skip lunch altogether, only to find yourself at the vending machine a few hours later, salivating over sugary treats.

That’s why you need easy lunch recipes like these in your life.

They’re simple, delicious, and nutritious, and in some cases, don’t even require a microwave. They’re just as tasty cold as they are hot.

They don’t require anything major in the way of meal prep, either. Just an hour on Sunday and 30 minutes during the week guarantees that your lunches are both delicious and diet-friendly.

Enjoy!

When you have leftover cooked chicken, there are countless ways to turn it into an entirely new meal, and it’s the perfect base for a quick lunch like a quesadilla.

2 large white onions, sliced

1 cup diced cooked chicken breast

Butternut Squash Kale Stuffing Muffins

Taking leftover chicken breast or roast beef to work is a no-brainer. But not all side dishes, like sautéed spinach, are as great for lunch the next day.

This make-ahead work lunch can be a complete meal if you eat two or three, but it’s also a portable side dish. If you prefer vegetarian stuffing, use two cups of chopped mushrooms in place of the Italian sausage.

Yogurt & Dill Chicken Salad

A healthy chicken salad doesn’t have to be mayo-free. This low-fat recipe benefits from the creaminess of Greek yogurt, plus the rich flavor of mayonnaise. Then just add seasoning and fresh herbs like dill or rosemary.

Chicken:

1 Tbsp. unsalted butter

1 small onion, diced

Some popular pre-workouts are all-natural. Some contain the right mix of high-quality ingredients. Some provide clinically effective doses. But only Pulse checks each of these boxes.

Pulse doesn’t just “contain natural ingredients''—every ingredient is naturally sourced from plants and animals. Pulse contains no artificial or synthetic substances of any kind.

Every serving of Pulse contains 15.1 grams of active ingredients that have been shown to be safe and effective in peer-reviewed scientific research.

Every active ingredient in Pulse is backed by published scientific studies that show benefits in healthy humans.

Pulse contains no harsh stimulants that wind you up and burn you out. Instead, it contains a 1:1 ratio of caffeine and L-theanine, which produces a smooth energy rush and comfortable comedown.

We carefully examined 508 pages of scientific research to find out exactly what should and shouldn’t be in a pre-workout supplement.

Every bottle of Pulse is guaranteed to provide exactly what the label claims and nothing else—no heavy metals, microbes, allergens, or other contaminants.

While these types of chemicals may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of them may indeed be harmful to our health. And that’s why we don’t put any of them into our products.

Before you buy a sports supplement, you should know that it's clean, safe, and transparent. And that's exactly what Labdoor's third-party testing and certification means.

It's hard to know for sure, but this probably makes Pulse the most-popular all-natural pre-workout supplement in the world.

If you don’t absolutely love this product, just let us know, and we’ll give you a full refund on the spot. No forms or return necessary.
