Why these are great easy lunch ideas for work while pregnant
A few tricks that help you create batch meals for your pregnancy at work are as follows:
- First, do not fully prepare any sandwiches or wraps until the morning of (ideally) or the night before if necessary. Bread especially is not very forgiving with moisture. So instead prep everything you’re going to need for the sandwiches and wraps by either layering the ingredients as necessary or mixing up the center of it and leaving it in tupperware so that it only takes you a few seconds the morning of to slap some of that between bread and stick it in a reusable BPA free lunch bag for your work lunch.
- Another hack is subbing out breads or tortillas for a vegetable like lettuce, chard, or kale. This will actually increase the nutritional density of your wrap AND let you prep it further in advance. While pregnant you should be focusing on increasing the nutritional density of every meal beside pregnancy requires a huge increase in nutrients with only a slight increase in calories.
