High Protein Snacks for Easy Lunch Time Meal Prep

We’ve all been there- Monday rolls around, you forgot to plan lunches and snacks for the week and the rest of the week is complete madness filled with take-out and junk food.

Ok, I exaggerate…

But one thing I have learned since meal prepping is that I am a much happier, healthier, and more productive mom, wife, and overall human being when I don’t have to think about what I’m going to prepare and feed my family multiple times each day.

Reasons to Try Making your own Meal Prep Snack Packs

They’re not just for lunch. They really should be called the “anytime snack packs” since you can grab one anytime: lunch, post-workout, dinner, road trips, etc.
Low in sugar. Filled with lots of high-protein goodies like hardboiled egg and deli meat and crunchy veggies to dip in hummus, I skipped the crackers and sugar-filled treats.
They are so super easy to make. And even easier if you purchase eggs that have already been hardboiled and peeled or have some leftover chicken sitting in the refrigerator. Simply divide between trays and call it a day.
Kids love them. Ok, I take that back…my child loves them. At least, he loves themeat, cheese, hummus, sugar snap peas, egg, and nuts (sometimes).
Easily customizable. Don’t let me hold you back. If you want to add crackers or fruit or anything else that YOU love, do it!

Snack Pack Tools and Equipment

Meal Prep Bowls: These are my recommendations.

Glass Meal Prep Containers with 2 Compartments– Having two compartments is perfect if you prefer to keep flavors separate from each other, or you want to prevent a sauce from making something soggy. These glass meal prep containers are freezable, microwavable, and dishwasher safe.
Glass Meal Prep Containers with 1 Compartment– One giant compartment perfect for burrito bowls, leftover pasta, or this chicken fajita meal prep idea.
For non-glass options, you can try these BPA-free Bowls or Single Compartment Containers.

Other Recommended Items:

Plastic cups with lids– (if anyone knows of a more planet-friendly option, please let me know) – these little cups will keep things like salad dressing, sour cream, guacamole, etc. separate from the other food. This is especially important when meal prepping salad bowls as the last thing you want for lunch is soggy lettuce.
Spork– Attach one to your keychain or backpack and take it everywhere.
Reusable Insulated Water Bottle– I have several different brands. I have carried the same Kleen Kanteen for years, but I love my Insulated Rtic Water Bottle because it keeps ice frozen forever.
Silicone Reusable Straw
