Looking for some healthy recipes you can eat on the run? Here’s a week of grab and go meals that are easily portable and can be eaten quickly!

A Week of Grab and Go Meals

Hi Friends!

Time for another week of meal plan ideas. This time I put together a week of Grab and Go Meals for you. So many of my readers are busy during the week and I wanted to give you some healthy options that you could eat on the run!

Looking for healthy meals you can eat on the run? Here's a week of grab and go meal ideas!

Most of these recipes are easily portable and many can be eaten with one hand! Hopefully you’ll find some delicious new ideas!

Breakfast

Grab and Go Breakfast Ideas

 

  • Blueberry Baked Oatmeal Singles via Emily Bites
    • Customize with your favorite fruit. Toss them in the microwave for a few seconds before you head out the door or eat them cold!
  • Breakfast Banana Pops via Chocolate Covered Katie
    • A fun, yet nutritious breakfast for those busy mornings with the kids.
  • Chocolate Peanut Butter Breakfast Quinoa via Simply Quinoa
    • Quinoa’s not just for dinner! Try it in place of oatmeal for a quick breakfast.
  • Grab and Go Omelette In A Bag via Lovely Bits
    • Let this cook while you get ready, wrap in foil and eat it during your commute.
  • Grab and Go Breakfast Cakes via Wholehearted Eats
    • Nutritious and super portable!

 


 

Lunch 

Grab and Go Lunch Ideas

  • Strawberry Spinach Mason Jar Salad via Eating Bird Food
    • Easy to make several ahead of time and throw in your lunchbox all week.
  • Chicken Avocado Pita via The Cookie Rookie
    • Packed with protein and healthy fats, this can be eaten with just one hand.
  • Sweet Potato, Kale & Black Bean Quesadillas via Cookie Monster Cooking
    • Use cheese to help everything stick together, then eat freshly cooked or make ahead of time and eat cold or reheat.
  • Berry Cheesecake Smoothie via Cotter Crunch
    • Drink up for a protein-packed, satisfying meal.
  • Sweet Potato Waffle Sandwiches via The Diet Plan
    • A fun change on a traditional sandwich.

 

Dinner

Grab and Go Dinner Ideas

  • Tropical Chicken Burgers via The Healthy Foodie
    • Slap it on a bun or wrap it and lettuce and eat on the go!
  • Spinach Ricotta Lasagna in a Mug via Healthy Nibbles & Bits
    • No huge pans or serving spoons needed! Perfectly portioned and easy to grab when you head out the door.
  • Meat Bagels via Ditch the Wheat
    • A fun spin on burgers
  • BBQ Chicken Pizza Calzones via Rock Recipes (learn how to freeze them here)
    • Change up the fillings to fit your taste preferences. Stock your freezer and then just reheat and go!
  • Quick & Easy Chicken Burritos via Gimme Delicious
    • Mix everything in one dish, spoon into a tortilla and wrap in foil to make it easy to hold and eat!

 

Looking for some food prep ideas for the recipes in this meal plan?

You could:

  • Make a batch of banana pops and freeze them.
  • Make a double batch of oatmeal cups and freeze half for another week.
  • Prep a batch of breakfast cakes.
  • Cook the quinoa for your parfaits.
  • Cook chicken to use in the mason jar salads and pitas.
  • Prep a couple of mason jar salads for lunch.
