NellieGillespie 8yr Thanks!! Minus the boiled egg 🍳 I will give it a try

annefood 8yr @NellieGillespie so glad you're bringing your own lunch! @garv 's suggestions are great. I like to have different salad ingredients on hand and prepare some cooked ingredients ahead of time so that I can assemble quickly on a busy day. Rinse and drain a can of beans (chickpeas, black beans, canellini beans, kidney beans) and store them in a container in your fridge. Toast some nuts and put them in a jar in the pantry. Cook some chicken breasts in the oven, roast cut up yams, broccoli, zucchini, cauliflower, onion... All with olive oil, sea salt and pepper. Keep them in containers in the fridge, and when it comes time to make a salad you can quickly add some lettuce, and scoop some of your prepared ingredients on top—some chicken and/or cooked veggies, beans, toasted nuts—any combination you like. I also keep goat cheese, pepitas, and apples on hand for salads. You can also make the dressing ahead of time and keep it in a bottle in the fridge. Simply pour some into a small container to take with your salad to school. You could also try an assembled lunch with store-bought hummus, carrots and cucumbers, cheese, olives, artichoke hearts (from a jar is great), rice crackers, sliced tomato, roasted nuts and a piece of fruit. No cooking involved, and everything can be eaten cold.

darkchocolatepeanutbutter 8yr When I was in college, I made energy balls on the weekend for the week. I threw them in a small container and snacked on them in class. Here's a nice simple recipe: https://deliciouslyella.com/peanut-butter-energy-balls/

emmie 8yr If you don't want to spend a lot of time making snacks, I'd suggest buying healthy granola bars that will keep you full- I love kind bars, they even have dark chocolate!

Cristobal Great work! Be sure to keep some fruit on hand to cut any sweet cravings.

annefood You've got this @NellieGillespie !

annefood

annefood Wow a fruit yogurt without sweetener huh? I'm so impressed! Is it just dairy and apricots? What are the ingredients @NellieGillespie ?

NellieGillespie

NellieGillespie Yeah @annefood and as much as I disagree with dairy we know some I the Westhaven farmers and those cows sure do seem to get treated very well
