Every day we receive requests for quick and easy lunches, as lunchtime seems to be a tough spot for almost everyone. What to eat? To cook or not to cook? To bring or pick up? These are all great questions.
We put our heads together and came up with a list of our favorite lunch recipes that you can make in under 10 minutes, whether you are home or desk side.  Bon appetit!

Bento Box
Mason Jar 
Avocado saver
Stasher bags
Freezable Lunch Bag
Klean Kanteen Insulated Food Carrier
We love the bento box to keep your lunch organized and portion controlled. Mason jars are great carriers in general, but also we love them for layering salads. Click here for recipe ideas. The Avocado saver is our favorite new kitchen hack-- you will never have a brown half again! Stasher bags are great, reusable bags perfect for snacks. The Built Freezable Lunch Bag is perfect for keeping your food cold all day long, and the Klean Kanteen Insulated Food Carrier will ensure your smoothie stays frosty or your soup remains piping hot!A riff on one of most popular arrangements, the About a Girl includes seasonal staples like cherry blossoms, daphne odora and hellebores.

We love the Sweet Potato and Leek Soup, which is great to make for dinner and then reheat the next day for lunch.

 


Quick tip: if you don't have a traditional protein in your soup, make it a meal by adding 2 crackers (such as Wasa or Le Pain des Fleurs) topped with Kite Hill Cheese or avocado AND/OR top the soup with 2 tbsp. hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, or roasted chickpeas.
 

Serves 4.

1. In a large pot, heat 2 tbsp. olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add 1 chopped onion, 3 chopped leeks, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft (about 7 minutes). Add 3 cloves minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for about 30 seconds.
 
2. Add 6 cups of vegetable broth, 4 chopped and peeled sweet potatoes, 1 tsp. ground ginger, pinch ground nutmeg, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are soft, about 10 minutes.
 
3. Transfer the soup to a blender or food processor. Add 1 cup canned coconut milk. Process until smooth. Store unoffered portions in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
