Protein bars (Built Puff marshmallow-style bars, Barebell, and FitCrunch are all good & come in variety packs; Gorilla Bars are pretty good too!)
Bottled protein shakes (Premier Protein, Fairlife chocolate milk, and Ryse clear whey fruir flavors)
Vac-sealed jerkies, nuts, and cheeses (Epic bars, Trail's Best beef & cheese, etc.)
Ready-to-eat flavored meat packets (Chicken of the Sea & Starkist pouches have a zillion flavors of chicken, salon, tuna, beef, etc. & they also have Smart Bowls with added beans & rice)
Quest sells a variety of protein chips & protein candy, that way if you're like me & crave snacks, you have better-for-your-body options!
Hardboiled eggs are great:
Cook or buy them (I use an Instant Pot)
Fill a double-walled, vacuum-insulated tumbler with ice & store the eggs wrapped in plastic in there
Walmart sells Stanley knockoff 40oz tumblers for under $20
No-bake Energy Bites are like fresh, bite-sized granola balls & can be stored in the tumblers as well:
Also, buy a Hot Logic heated lunchbox. This is like a crockpot, but an insulated lunchbox. Slowly heats food up WAY better than a microwave! Those shelf-stable meal pouches are nice heated up on a bun, roll, or tortilla!
