When the space is organized well and stocked with nutritious pantry staples, not only is healthy eating easier, but it’s also more enjoyable and budget-friendly. These high-protein lunches can easily be made ahead of time (or during your lunch break) to keep you full and energized. From low-carb chicken fajitas to colorful veggie-packed stir-fries, these lunch recipes all contain up to 48 grams of protein per serving.
