While you might have the ability to eat a hot lunch each day, knowing some no-heat lunch recipes that you can make is super important. After all, a girl’s gotta eat. Whether you don’t have a microwave at work or simply don’t have the energy to use the one in your home (we’ve all had those days), having some recipes in your back pocket that taste great cold or at room temperature is a must. Opting for the same old, super basic salad or sandwich can get boring quickly, however. What you need is a bit of inspiration.

Yes, of course, there are plenty of exciting salads and sandwiches you can make, but you have many more options than just that. There are meat, fish, and veggie dishes that can all work just as well at room temperature as they do when newly out of the oven or off the stove. And those are absolutely the perfect thing for you to bring for lunch. Honestly, even if you do have access to a microwave or toaster oven, who wants to put in the effort to heat up lunch every day anyway?
These no-heat lunches will get you out of your lunchtime rut without sacrificing flavor or adding pre-lunch preparation. What’s not to like about that?
