How to prep a week of lunches in one Sunday hour

October 7, 2026 · Meal Prep, 1 min read

One focused hour on Sunday can cover every lunch of the working week. The trick is to cook components, not complete meals, so each day still feels different.

Start with a grain and a tray

Put a pot of quinoa or rice on, then fill one large tray with chopped vegetables and a tin of drained chickpeas. Both cook while you make the dressings.

Make two dressings

A lemony tahini and a quick herb vinaigrette are enough to keep five lunches interesting.

Pack smart

  • Keep dressings in small jars until the day you eat
  • Put sturdy vegetables at the bottom, leaves on top
  • Label each box with the day it should be eaten

Our Roasted Veggie Buddha Bowl and Rainbow Quinoa Salad are both built for exactly this routine.
