This roundup of 15 high-protein lunch recipes are quick to prep, easy to pack, totally delicious, and all paleo! Think hearty salads with staying power, wraps and bowls that don’t rely on bread, and simple make-ahead meals your family will look forward to.

As if figuring out what to make for dinner wasn’t hard enough, there’s lunches, too!

Sure, my standard advice to people trying to stick to paleo is to repurpose dinner into lunch the following day. And that is super helpful, most of the time.

But, I don’t always want last night’s dinner the next day, and I’m guessing I’m not alone!

And, if you’re following a mostly paleo diet (or just trying to get more protein in your day), you know how tricky it can be to find meals that are both satisfying and clean.

Between work, kids, workouts, and the million little things in between, lunch often ends up being an afterthought, but it definitely doesn’t have to be!

These paleo-friendly high-protein lunches are here to keep you fueled, focused, and full without weighing you down.

Whether you’re meal-prepping for the week or need a quick midday boost, these recipes prove that eating paleo can be easy, delicious, and totally satisfying.

Plus, these lunches give you ideas beyond just leftover dinner that won’t turn you into a kitchen slave 🙂  I know you’ll love them as much as I do!
