Lunch is a meal of the day that is skipped by most working class folks, and sadly so. While breakfast still remains the most important meal of the day, Lunch also pulls up as an essential meal of the day.

Imagine working every fiber of your body to make good money; both in the physical sense and intellectually but failing to refuel. Trust me, your production level would be half of what it should be.

No one thinks clearly on an empty stomach. While ensuring Lunch isn’t heavy enough to knock you out, there is definetely a need to make it filling, nutritious and appealing to the palate.

One other important detail about a good Lunch option is that it must either be easy to whip up early in the morning before setting out to work, or it has to be a meal that can be stored overnight to avoid time wastage the next morning.

Therefore,I am making this post with the sole purpose of helping any working class foodie out there who has ever hadissues picking out meals for Lunch at work. Let’s get into it.

13 Lunch options

1. Smokey Nigerian Jollof rice

I can boldly say that there is no one on the surface of this earth that would refuse a legit smokey Nigerian Jollof rice mash up for Lunch. Combine this with some plantain and peppered chicken and your work day would continue to remain pleasant.

Now, this meal might seem a bit difficult to whip up early in the morning but can definitely be prepared before hand and stored in the refrigerator until needed. Same as the peppered chicken. However for the plantain part, you could choose to leave it out or quickly fry some to accompany your jollof rice for lunch.

2. Spicy, veggie, stir fry noodles

Be honest with me, did you give a side eye when you saw noodles? Please hear me out.

Yes I know, storing noodles isn’t really a thing, plus it tastes funny when cold but this is different. It isn’t your regular noodle recipe. It is a spicy veggie, stir fry edition. The consistency and texture of this particular kind of noodles isn’t your regular, it’s stir fry baby! I dare to say, it could even be stored and popped in the microwave the next morning fam. I have tried it and I can testify to this recipe.
