Use an insulated lunch bag with ice pack if fridge is the issue

I must have posted about this last year, since I think I remember these very same suggestions.

The problem is the fridge area, as I mentioned above.

Kind bars and fruit leather don't do it for me, even in a pinch.


Maybe this is just me but I honestly never ever use a fridge at work and I take a salad with a protein in it 90% of the time. It doesn't go bad u less you are sitting in a super hot place. (Proteins are salmon, chicken, turkey, eggs, chickpeas, beans, leftover burgers, steak, wtvr I have)

Do you have your own classroom? You can buy a small electric kettle for ten bucks and make instant soups. Or you can buy what I used to use, an electric hot pot for $15 and I used it to warm up Tabatchnik soups. You need to add a little water so it doesn’t stick. I would take a couple pouches of frozen soup and they would be pretty thawed by lunch, then I would heat them in the hot pot and it was a good lunch with breadsticks or crackers. Warning, it does make your room smell like food. Also it’s annoying to bring the hot pot home to wash it. I used to put down two layers of foil on a desk to do my food prep so I didn’t have to worry about kashrus issues. A thermos is probably easier but I never had time in the mornings.

I've made my way with peanut butter sandwiches in recent years (they have no policy against it), but I'd like a little variety.

What are some easy ideas?

I don't like tuna, egg salad, cream cheese, and quinoa.


Salad, chefs salad, cold cuts sandwich, baked salmon, grilled veggies topped with grilled chicken, cottage cheese and fruit, yogurt and granola, raw veggies with hummus, sliced cheese and crackers.
