The other day, I asked on Instagram (I'm obsessed with IG stories), "What would you like to see on the blog?" I got some great feedback and, to be honest, I am pretty excited to write some posts this month. Up first? On-the-go meals that don't break the bank! I'm talking perfect for working moms, those back-to-school lunches, parents who feel like they're running a taxi service out of their car, university students with crazy schedules, and anyone else who has to take lunch and snacks to go. Are you thinking what I'm thinking, friends? Let's round up these recipes, shall we?!

Breakfasts

Berry Protein Pancake Bites
Butter With a Side of Bread is on point with naming her blog and sharing these pancake bites! We use the Kodiak Cakes protein pancake mix from Costco whenever we make protein pancakes, but I might have to check out Krusteaz! Get the recipe for these pancake bites here!

Cold Brew Coffee Overnight Oats
I mean, come on... you can have your coffee and drink it too, friends, with this Cold Brew Coffee Overnight Oats. This breakfast from Love and Zest has that delicious coffee flavour we all love (and, as moms, rely on), as well as a protein boost to get your day off to a good start. Grab and go and out the door; recipe here!

Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches
Stop! Don't go through that drive-thru! Put down that Egg McMuffin! Instead, check out Damn Delicious and this recipe for Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches. Ditch the fast food option with the recipe here.

Egg and Quinoa Breakfast Muffins
Healthy. Freezer-friendly. Grab-and-go out the door. I mean, what more could you ask for in your meal prep? Sweet Peas and Saffron is known for meal prep for busy people, so you know you need to check out this Quinoa Egg Breakfast Muffins. You can find the recipe here. 
Picture
Banana Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins
I mean, anything from a blog called Recipe Rebel is going to be delish, right? Banana Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins for busy mornings when you need a fast breakfast for you, your kids, your husband... unless, you don't want to share, of course. Get the recipe here!

Salads

Greek Couscous Salad
What I love the most about Chelsea's Messy Apron's recipe for Greek Couscous Salad is that she gives meal prep tips to help you make this salad ahead of time and take it to go! (Well, that, and it's freakin' delicious). Grab the recipe on her site here! 
Picture
Mason Jar Salads
You can find about a million mason jar salad recipes on Pinterest, but ... can you trust everything you read on the Internet? (Hint: the answer is no). However, the recipes you find on Sarah Kaminski's site are tried, tested, and true to tasting delicious. Find her 8 mason jar salad recipes here. And while you're over there, you should probably check out the rest of her good eats!

Chopped Thai Chicken Salad
Ok, you can't give this one to your kids (#NoPeanutZone) but I don't think you'd want to share this Chopped Thai Chicken Salad from Little Spice Jar anyway! Make it on the weekend and you've got a ridiculously delicious lunch for the entire week! Find the recipe here.
Picture
Garbanzo Summer Salad with Creamy Dill Dressing 
Whether you call them garbanzo beans or chickpeas, this protein + fibre-filled salad from Vanilla and Bean is perfect to prep on a Sunday for the work week. Find the recipe here.
Picture
Grilled Garlic Lime Chicken Fajita Salad
Once I finished drooling over this recipe from Paleo Gluten Free Eats, I knew I had to share. It'd be rude not to. Get this Grilled Garlic Lime Chicken Fajita Salad ready on the weekend, store in single-use containers, and grab-and-go throughout the week!  Find the recipe here.

Lunches + Dinners

Beef + Broccoli 
This Beef + Broccoli dish, from Life Made Sweeter, is easy to prep on the weekend (or to make and save the leftovers for tomorrow's lunch!) Find the recipe here.
Picture
Southwest Chicken Burrito Bowl
Easy to make, easy to grab and go, and a delicious recipe straight from Jar of Lemons. I would probably eat at Chipotle weekly if we had one in our city, but I think this meal prepped burrito bowl can help satisfy that craving. Grab the recipe here.
Picture
Honey Sriracha Glazed Meatballs
My family goes crazy for any recipe that has Sriracha in the name ... and I'm not kidding, anything that doesn't they cover in hot sauce anyway. This recipe from Eat Yourself Skinny will be a fan favourite! Get the delish meatball recipe here.
Picture
Chicken Shawarma + Sweet Potato Bowl
Hashtag DROOL. This bowl from Half Baked Harvest can be eaten hot or cold and I already know my stepson will be loving this lunch come back-to-school time! Go get your shawarma on with the recipe here.
Picture
Cold Sesame Noodle Meal Prep Bowls
I regularly trick my family with veggie swaps so I know this Sweet Peas and Saffron would get the thumbs up in our house. Plus, it's like eating a bowl of pasta that's really a salad! Grab your spiralizer and get the recipe here.
