25+ Quick High-Protein Lunches Pinterest Graphic

These 25+ Quick High-Protein Lunches are perfect for making in a few minutes at home or putting together for a quick lunch at work. A few of these recipes can be prepped in advance! Read on for tips on how to prep some of these meals and be ready to make these quick high-protein lunches throughout the week!

Here are some tips for making the most out of these quick high-protein lunches:

  • Prepare your protein in advance! Make a roasted chicken (or buy one) before the week starts. Prep all of your meat in advance and keep high-protein add-ons in stock (such as tuna, nuts, seeds, and tofu). Pro-tip: have all of your organic, lean, high-quality meats delivered to your doorstep with Butcher Box! (Get 20$ off and free shipping HERE)
  • While it isn’t necessary, planning helps make the most out of healthy lunches! Have all of your ingredients on hand and ready for the week. Use a service like Thrive Market and Amazon Fresh to have your groceries delivered and save time!
  • Make these your own! Add protein to these recipes and adjust ingredients as you see fit. It’s about getting the amount of protein and ingredients that are right for you!

    I love your recipes! I was thinking of having a picnic with my parents! Problem is, my father is gluten free… Do you have any recipe suggestions of picnic recipes that are gluten free? Thanks so much!
