4 Easy Meal Prep Ideas For Work

Armoire Everything, Simplify Your Life

Just as clothing rental makes life simpler, so does meal prep. This seemingly impossible task is actually quite easy (and rewarding) if you plan ahead.

Live more simply


To help get you started, here are our favorite work lunch ideas you can throw together in 30 minutes or less:

Super Bowl My Way

“I eat this every single day for lunch. It never gets old!” — Chelsea, Stylist

Ingredients:

Cooked quinoa

Arugula

Cherry tomatoes (halved)

Avocado (diced)

Sliced almonds

Olive oil/vinegar (I use Newman’s)

Pesto (Trader Joe’s vegan pesto)

Directions:

Throw everything together in a to-go container in the morning and shake before you eat!

Tip: Cook all the quinoa ahead of time and refrigerate so you can use for the week.


Bschool Gnocchi

“This was my lunch hack in business school, easy and yummy.” — Kelly, Business Operations

Ingredients:

Jalapeño chicken sausage

Cauliflower gnocchi

Tomato sauce

Garlic powder

Chili flakes

Dried oregano

Directions:

When cooking gnocchi, ignore the directions on the package and just sear it in a pan with olive oil until it’s golden brown on the sides. After everything is combined, add garlic powder, chili flakes, and dried oregano.

Tip: It makes two days of lunches that heat up well and fill you up for the rest of the day!


Marcella Hazan’s Tomato Sauce

“I make this New York Times recipe probably once a week.” — Anya, Marketing Intern

Ingredients:

2 cups tomatoes (in addition to their juices)

5 tbsp butter

1 onion, peeled & cut in half

Salt

Directions:

  1. Combine the tomatoes, their juices, the butter, and the onion halves in an instant pot and set for 10 minutes.
  2. When it notifies you it’s done, discard the onion and crush up the tomato chunks.

Tip: Add to your favorite pasta with fresh mozzarella!


Case of the Mondays

“Quick, easy, healthy, delicious.” — Emily, Marketing

Ingredients:

English cucumbers (diced)

1 container feta
