Gathering your groceries is the best way to set yourself up for success. I know this sounds obvious, but oftentimes I end up scrambling to make these lunches if I haven’t ordered or shopped for my groceries.

Once you’ve ordered/shopped your items, simply wash the produce and place them in airtight food storage containers along with the other lunch items. These are my favorite. 

Now you can easily access all your fresh produce, lunch meats, and other lunch food items.

 

Next, you will want to think in terms of categories.  What do I mean by this? Each lunch box should have protein, fruit, and veggie (carbs are optional). 

Protip: Bento-style lunch boxes are the perfect solution to use when you make these easy, healthy lunches. The exact one that I use in this post is here, and I love this one too.
