| Hi reader! Okay, here's the truth… As much as I love pasta and pizza (because honestly, who doesn't?), I've really come to appreciate low-carb, high-protein recipes—especially now that I'm getting closer to 50. Carbs just hit differently these days. And while it's unfortunate... it's also very real. The biggest change I've noticed? When I keep my carbs in check, I have way more energy and way less belly bloat. (Ugh, I hate even saying that... belly bloat, but it's true.) High-protein meals also keep me full and satisfied between meals—I'm not reaching for snacks an hour later. And lunch is one meal where protein is especially important. Back when I worked outside the home, I needed a lunch that would hold me over and not leave me in a food coma by 2 PM. (Unfortunately, naps at work were not encouraged at my old job 😂) So today, I'm sharing my favorite high-protein lunches that helped me stay energized, focused, and satisfied through the workday. Bonus? Every single one can be prepped ahead of time—because let's be real, if it can't be made ahead, it probably won't happen. My goal has always been to prep lunches on Sunday to cover the whole workweek, and I know many of you love doing the same. Here are my go-to's: | | Protein Power Mason Jar Salad If you follow me on Instagram or read my weekly newsletter, you already know—I make this salad almost every week. I actually stumbled on this combo by accident years ago, and it's been a staple ever since. |
| | California Salad in a Jar Another mason jar favorite. This one is a close second to my Protein Power Salad. It's made with smoked deli turkey, crumbled blue cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes. Oh mama—so good! |
| | Avocado Chicken Salad This one is loaded with protein. Grab a fork and eat it as is, scoop it into a wrap, or pair it with almond flour crackers and raw veggies. However you serve it, it's delicious. |
| | Avocado Tuna Salad Very similar to the chicken salad but with tuna. It's quick to throw together and will keep you full all the way to dinner. |
| | Italian Chicken Soup Just thinking about this one makes me want to start a pot. It's light, comforting, high in protein, and low in fat. Make a big batch on Sunday, portion it out for lunches during the week, and freeze any leftovers for future meals. |
If you try any of these this weekend, tag me on Instagram—I love seeing what you're making! | | xo Tammy Overhoff Owner, Reset & Flourish & Organize Yourself Skinny. 🔥 Est. 2011 | Over 7000 students! 💕 In love with my big blended family! 🍫 Equally loves smoothies, mason jar salads, and chocolate. 📣 Cheer mom, volleyball mom, dog mom. ☕️ Needs a lot of coffee and a little RHONJ daily to stay sane. |
