Ideas for A Busy Husband's Lunch on the go

My husband has a very busy job in law enforcement and very often doesn’t have time to eat adequate meals during his 12 hour shift.  I try the best I can to make sure he has a lunch everyday, or even a bag full of snacks, during his shift.  Everything I send him has to require no heating and can be easily sustainable in a cooler in his car.  Here are some of the items that I have found to be easily packed for a busy day and many contain lots of protein:

Husband Snack Ideas

  • Boiled Eggs – peeled and lightly salted
  • Sandwich
  • Quest bars
  • Cheese Sticks
  • Hormel Pepperoni Stix
  • Oscar Mayer P3 Portable Protein Packs
  • Nuts – Aldi has a good selection for less
  • Lunch meat wrapped in lettuce
  • Crispy Chickpeas 
  • Triple Zero Yoplait Greek Yogurt
  • Canned Pineapple or other fruit with easy open lid
  • Cottage cheese packs
  • Salads in a jar
  • Small container of peanut butter and apple slices or a banana
  • Protein Bars
  • Jerky
  • Pork Rinds
  • Fresh Fruit
  • Pre-cut Veggies and Dip

Drink Ideas:

  • Water
  • Powerade/gatorade
  • Bai5
  • Protein shake

Other items you may want to consider packing:

  • napkins
  • freezer pack
  • fork or spoon
  • love note 🙂

Do you have any great ideas to add to this list?  Leave a comment and tell me!

    A good protein bar I have found is ThinkThin. They have 20g protein so they are very filling. I get them at Sams. They have s chocolate coating so they would have to be kept in a cooler.

      They have these little cottage cheese individual containers in the dairy section. Some have pineapple or other fruits that you can mix in or add to it for a snack.
