18 Easy Packed Lunch Ideas When You're Tired Of That Mayo Sandwich
Lunch can be a difficult task to tackle during the week. Meal prepping is a great tool, but it doesn't always pan out if your Sunday schedule fills up. It's also easy to get in the habit of eating lunch out with coworkers, which can rack up the calories (and the bills). With these packed lunch ideas, mealtime is no longer a worry.

Photo: Victor Protasio; Prop Styling: Lindsey Lower; Food Styling: Chelsea Zimmer Sneak in healthy apples and protein-packed cheese for a turkey sandwich that's anything but boring. Pepper jelly and arugula give it more pep. If you're wrapping this gooey sandwich for later, melt the cheese and pack the greens separately.02 of 18
Alison Miksch; Prop Styling: Mary Clayton Carl; Food Styling: Mary-Claire Britton; Get out the Thermos, because you're going to want to bring this savory, smoky soup with you on a regular basis. The recipe starts with a thick slice of bacon and relies on standard kitchen and pantry ingredients. This comforting, healthy soup recipe also uses one pot and is ready in 25 minutes, making it a no-brainer.03 of 18
Alison Miksch; Prop Styling: Buffy Hargett Miller; Food Styling: Torie Cox Indulge in your nostalgic side for something different. Served over a bed of greens, on a buttery croissant, or with crackers, ham salad is a Southern dish made for lunchtime. This recipe uses cream cheese for extra richness.04 of 18
Victor Protasio; Prop Styling: Mary Clayton Carl; Food Styling: Emily Nabors Hall Customize your toppings for these healthy burrito bowls and never get bored with lunch again. They start with a base of spicy black beans, charred corn, and brown rice. From there, it's up to you, but we like pico de gallo for its freshness.05 of 18
Jen Causey This classic spread will never go out of style. Make a full batch, and share it in the lunchroom. Keep a few extra boiled eggs on hand in the fridge so you can prepare it in a flash.06 of 18
Will Dickey Turn classic chicken salad into a fancier lunch option with the addition of juicy grapes and nutty pecans. While this chicken salad is obviously great on croissants or bread, we also like to serve it atop a bed of lettuce for a more refined afternoon meal.07 of 18
Jennifer Causey; Prop Styling: Christine Keely; Food Styling: Torie Cox Shred some leftover chicken and coat it in a classic anchovy Caesar dressing, then store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to assemble your sandwich. Served on a crusty baguette with leafy green lettuce, you don't even miss the croutons.08 of 18
Greg DuPree For a cozy meal, there's nothing quite like a warm bowl of beef soup, but it takes hours to simmer or slow cook to perfection. Not so with this recipe! It's the most delicious shortcut we've ever found.09 of 18
Greg DuPree; Prop Styling: Mindi Shapiro Levine; Food Styling: Torie Cox Follow our healthy, easy method of baking plantains in the oven, open a package of yellow rice, and spend just a few minutes preparing the beans. Without too much fuss, these colorful, meatless bowls are packed with filling, good-for-you ingredients. You'll have the most flavorful lunchbox in the work refrigerator.10 of 18
Greg DuPree Serve the meatballs over rice or make meatball pita sandwiches with cucumber-yogurt sauce for two healthy, Mediterranean lunch options. This recipe is designed to make enough for both meals, so you can eat it at dinner and pack leftovers for the next day.11 of 18
Victor Protasio; Food Styling: Ruth Blackburn; Prop Styling: Audrey Davis If your sandwiches seem sad lately, try piling on more flavor. This New Orleans-style hoagie is packed with a variety of cheeses and deli meats, then topped with an olive salad. Just skip cutting it into quarters—you'll want this sandwich all to yourself.12 of 18
Hector Manuel Sanchez Make these quiches up to two days ahead and have them ready to go in the refrigerator. Use 4-1/2-inch tart pans to create individual portions. They're served at room temperature, so no office microwave required, and the individual servings make packing easy.13 of 18
Monica Farber/Southern Living You can never go wrong with the classics, especially with a sandwich so supremely easy to toss together. Enhance its character by grating garlic in the mayonnaise or adding avocado or pimiento cheese. For bigger appetites, turn the sandwich into a double decker.14 of 18
Victor Protasio; Prop Styling: Audrey Davis; Food Styling: Emily Nabors Hall Chicken won't bore you anymore once it spends time in a zesty marinade. Grill the chicken in advance and have it ready in the fridge for Monday morning. The amazing tzatziki sauce will give your lunch just the oomph it needs.15 of 18
Photographer and props: Jennifer Causey Food Stylist: Emily Nabors Hall Most of the prep time for this main salad involves boiling the pasta shells and allowing them to cool. Toss with defrosted shrimp, chopped vegetables, and mayonnaise dressing, and you're ready to go. Stick your meal in the fridge to keep it chilled until lunchtime.16 of 18
Antonis Achilleos; Prop Styling: Audrey Davis; Food Styling: Emily Nabors Hall Your co-workers will be eyeing you with envy once they catch a glimpse of this salad on your plate. They don't have to know it came together in no time, thanks to store-bought tortellini, rotisserie chicken, and a can of black-eyed peas. Bring a bottle of the homemade basil vinaigrette.17 of 18
Antonis Achilleos; Prop Stylist: Caleb Clarke; Food Stylist: Emily Nabors Hall This could be our fastest chili yet, ready in just 20 minutes. A packet of taco seasoning and cans of beans, tomatoes, and chiles will have your lunch ready in record time. Pack some tortilla chips and you're on your way to work.18 of 18
Greg Dupree; Styling: Caroline M. Cunningham You wouldn't guess this fancy-feeling lunch panini only calls for five ingredients. You can make your panini in the morning and eat it later at room temperature. Use a jar of pesto sauce from the store to save time.Thanks for your feedback!
