Do you also have trouble packing your lunch to work? It's really a task for two main reasons. Firstly, there are time constraints, as you need to leave for work, and then there is the tension of packing a healthy and nutrient-rich lunch.

But not anymore, here we have come up with three lunch ideas that you can prep in no time and are also full of nutrients. So, without further ado, let's pack everything up!

●     Sandwiches

Sandwiches are the best meals to prepare because they allow you to wrap up a lot of nutrients between two pieces of bread. Also, it's a lunch you can easily eat in the office without making a mess. In addition, you get a lot of choices with sandwiches as you can fill various veggies and sauces with them. For example, you can fill your sandwiches with capsicum, paneer, onion, cabbage, and sauces of your choice, and you now have a colorful, tasty, healthy sandwich ready.

Recipe for a Simple Veg Sandwich:

1. Saute sliced capsicum, onion, avocado and cabbage.
2. Mix paneer with mayo and ketchup.
3. Spread paneer mix on bread.
4. Add sauteed veggies.
5. Grill until crispy.
6. Wrap it in aluminum foil and leave for work.
   
   

●     Sheet Pan Greek Salmon

If you want to pack a high-protein yet low-calorie lunch to your office, then the sheet pan Greek salmon is perfect for you. However, as its name refers, the dish includes salmon, so if you are a vegetarian, it's not for you. But you can still enjoy the dish by replacing the salmon with paneer, a high-protein dairy product.

Recipe for Sheet Pan Greek salmon:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Place salmon on a sheet pan.
3. Season with olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
4. Add diced potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onions around the salmon.
5. Toss everything to coat with seasoning.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until salmon is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
7. Transfer it to your lunch box, and it's done!
   
   

●     DIY High Protein Box

If you want your lunch box to get ready in 10 minutes only, then this one is best for you. But it also targets those who can't eat a lot in their office as they start to feel heavy. Starting with protein content, add one or two boiled eggs. Then, to fill in other nutrients and more protein, you can add many types of fruits and dry fruits. Since most of this meal is made of fruits and dry fruits, it will not make your stomach feel healthy. Below is the recipe for creating your DIY High Protein Box.

1. Put 1 or 2 eggs to boil.
2. Meanwhile, cut the fruits of your choice like pineapple, strawberry, grapes, etc.
3. Roast some almonds, cashews, walnuts, or any other nut of your choice.
4. Take out the eggs that you have put to boil.
5. Pack everything up, and your lunch is ready to be taken to work.
