The paprika mayo is really what makes this an exciting treat to unwrap at your desk. Smoked turkey is such a great lunch item because it is delicious both hot and cold. Easy to prep, easy to store, and easy to take for lunch. This works in your favor so that there is no spike in blood sugar and the energy you’re consuming lasts throughout the day. The beans and shrimp provide a great source of protein while the fiber in the beans helps slow digestion. The feta gives it a special kick that makes it feel like a special ordeal when in reality it is a lunch that can be prepared in minutes and stored easily. This is a salad that is packed with protein-thanks to the chickpeas-and tons of flavor. This recipe is great because you can make it for dinner and then store the leftovers for your lunch the next day. Veggies only take a couple of minutes to prepare, and then you let the roasting do its magic.

To me, there is nothing as good as this classic. Here are 10 recipes that can give you all the benefits of a sack lunch without ruining your afternoon with a spike in blood sugar. Lastly, as a person with diabetes, you get to control how you feed your body and impact your blood glucose. You can save heaps of money by packing your lunch everyday as the cost of one restaurant meal translates to five healthy sack lunches throughout the week. Flavors can be immensely better when you prepare your own food instead of scarfing down an overcooked, over-sauced meal at the cafeteria. The health benefits are undeniable as you get to control which ingredients are used and how much.

There are so many benefits to packing your own lunch that I can’t believe that more people don’t do it.
