Paleo Lunches On The Go

I love the feeling of waking up on a Monday morning and already having lunches packed and ready to go for me and my husband. On the flip side, the feeling of not having those lunches prepped and ready is always an instant stressor first thing in the morning. Preparing ahead of time is always an amazing way to say on track with a healthy lifestyle, keep your stress levels down, and keep you staying nourished throughout the day!

When I first started going gluten free, then grain free, and eventually paleo and AIP, I really struggled with what to bring along to lunch. What are you supposed to bring if not a sandwich and pretzels with hummus, right? I was completely stumped and found myself under packing and going hungry quite often.

Because I know what it’s like to struggle with healthy lunch ideas, I decided to create this list of 10 packable paleo lunches to bring to work, school, or even on the road in a cooler!

First, what do you pack your lunch in?

Description

This tuna salad wrap with a collard green leaf and avocado is a great grain-free alternative to a sandwich!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large collard leaf
  • 1 can tuna
  • 1 avocado, mashed
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Juice of 1/4th of a lime
  • 2 tbsp green onion, diced

Instructions

  1. Using a large stock pot, fill it about two-thirds of the way full and bring it to a simmer. Wash the collard leaf with cold water and then use tongs to dip it into the simmering water for 10 seconds. This will allow it to soften and make it easier to fold. Pat the leaf dry and use either scissors or a knife to shave down the large stem. Set aside.
  2. Mash the tuna together with the avocado, lime, garlic, salt, and green onion.
  3. Spoon the tuna mixture in the center of the collard wrap and roll it closed. Slice down the center, as well as any excess on the sides.
  4. Place in a Tupperware with other fruits and veggies, or eat by itself.
