Easy High Protein Lunch Ideas

    Egg Roll In A Bowl | Oh Snap Macros - This recipe is not only high protein, but it's a very popular recipe. Simply because it's one of those throw it in a bowl type situations. It's all the flavors of an egg roll without the wrapper. Juicy ground meat mixed with crisp veggies in a savory sauce. Quick, high protein, and oh-so-delish! [Protein: 60 grams for 1 bowl]

    Chicken Lettuce Wraps | Budget Bytes - I'm all about keeping it simple in the kitchen. When you're packing a lunch, you can't go wrong with some crisp lettuce leaves plus savory meal prepped chicken with throw together ingredients. [Protein: 27 grams]

      High Protein Assemble Packed Lunch - Baby carrots + Greek yogurt mixed with ranch seasoning for dipping + turkey deli meat + strawberry Greek yogurt + a pack of tuna. It's quick, easy, and super satisfying. Mix it up with different meats, yogurts, veggies, and fish. [Protein: 70 grams]

      Chicken Vegetable Soup | Detoxinista - Soups prepared ahead of time or as leftovers make great packable lunches. Just throw all the ingredients in a pot, simmer, then portion into individual containers. You can also freeze them! [Protein: 17 grams]

        Chicken Tacos | Eating Bird Food - My favorite food will forever be Mexican food and these chicken tacos hit the spot. Juicy, seasoned chicken in soft tortillas with fresh salsa. Use a low carb tortilla or cheese wrap to keep it low carb. [Protein: 33 grams]

        Rotisserie Chicken Wrap | Simplify Live Love - You can't go wrong with anything involving your favorite deli rotisserie chicken. Shred up that chicken, toss in some spices, roll up in a cottage cheese wrap to keep it low carb. [Protein: 38 grams]

          Turkey Chili | Budget Bytes - Another meal prep staple. Just like soup, this chili is super easy to make. Just throw ingredients in a pot, simmer, and portion into individual containers for a rich and hearty meal. Savory turkey keeps it low calorie. Omit or use less beans to keep it low carb. [Protein: 29 grams]

            Greek Yogurt Tuna Salad | Eating Bird Food - Tuna or chicken salad is a lunch time classic. This recipe uses Greek yogurt instead of mayo for more protein, but it doesn't skimp on the flavor! [Protein: 39 grams]

              Viral BAT Bowl | Toasted Table - The new acronym is BAT, not BLT. It's bacon, avocado, tomato, and cottage cheese. All sure to be your new best friends. Grab about a ½ cup of each, put in a bowl, then enjoy! [Protein: 28 grams]

                Greek Chicken Salad | Spice Cravings - Mediterranean flavors make a hearty salad that will keep you full. This dish is a vibrant mix of grilled chicken, crisp veggies, and tangy feta with a zesty dressing. [Protein: 36 grams]
