Do Your Sunday Meal Prep

Spending a bit of time in the kitchen on Sunday will make your weekday lunches infinitely easier and more delicious. You don't necessarily have to prepare all your meals for the week. For example, assemble a few make-ahead instant noodle jars on the weekend to toss in your bag on the way out the door. At lunchtime, simply pour over boiling water from the office kettle. Mason jar salads are another great time-saver, as are grain bowls with sheet pan roasted veggies. Think simple but healthy!
