For healthy and portable lunch that's perfect for busy weekends, consider these options:

Remember to include a balance of protein, healthy fats, carbohydrates, and fiber to keep you feeling full and energized throughout your busy day!

1. Protein-Packed Salad Jars: Layer salad ingredients in Mason jars starting with the dressing at the bottom (this way, your salad will stay fresh and crisp until you're ready to eat), followed by protein (like grilled chicken, tofu, or beans), then veggies, and finally, greens. Shake it up when you're ready to eat for a fresh and satisfying meal.

2. Wrap It Up: Low Carb wraps filled with lean protein (like turkey or tofu), plenty of veggies, and a spread of hummus or avocado make a balanced and portable meal. You can make these ahead of time and store them in the fridge until needed.

3. Quinoa Bowls: Cook a batch of quinoa and divide it into individual meal prep containers. Add grilled veggies, roasted chicken or tofu, and a flavorful sauce or dressing. These bowls are easy to grab and reheat when you need a nutritious meal.

4.Stir-Fry Bowls: Cook up a batch of stir-fried veggies and lean protein (like shrimp or tofu) and portion them into containers with cooked brown rice or quinoa. Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a drizzle of soy sauce for flavor.

5. Veggie and Hummus Snack Box: Pack a variety of fresh veggies, such as carrot sticks, cucumber slices, and cherry tomatoes, along with a small container of hummus for dipping. This snack box is perfect for a light and refreshing lunch option.

6. Soup in a Thermos or Mason Jar: Make a big batch of homemade soup and portion it into a thermos or Mason Jar. This way, you'll have a warm and comforting lunch option that's easy to take with you wherever you go.

7.Bento Boxes: Fill compartmentalized containers with a variety of healthy options, such as sliced veggies, whole grain crackers, cheese cubes, hard-boiled eggs, and nuts. This allows for a customizable meal that's both nutritious and portable.

Remember to include a piece of fruit or some nuts for a balanced meal. These options are not only healthy but also convenient for busy weekends. Enjoy your meals!
