Protein-Packed Lunch Ideas
Protein keeps you full and fueled through back-to-back meetings. Forget the bland chicken and shakes. These make-ahead protein-packed lunches bring bold flavor, satisfying crunch, and are perfect for a work-from-home day.
Gluten Free Meal Prep Meatballs With Dipping Sauce
These gluten free meal prep meatballs pair perfectly with dipping sauces and veggies. They’re great for batch cooking and make a good protein source for home-cooked lunch bowls or wraps.
To make these gluten free meal prep meatballs, blend high-fat ground turkey with fresh herbs, spices, and Milton’s Multi-Grain Gluten Free Crackers. Our crackers add the perfect crispy crunch to your workday.
Serve with a sweet-and-savory dipping sauce made from cranberry sauce and Dijon mustard, or use store-bought sauces to sweeten the deal. We won’t tell.
Gluten Free Breaded Buffalo Chicken Tenders
If you’re missing those office-catered lunches, this is the perfect recipe for you. Gluten free breaded buffalo chicken tenders blend home cooking with a classic sports bar favorite. These tenders are tangy, crispy, and incredibly easy to air fry. They’re a win-win-win for gluten free fans!
Milton’s Zesty Ranch Gluten Free Crackers are the breadcrumb bombshells in this recipe. The herby ranch flavors infuse perfectly into the juicy buffalo chicken tenders, creating a restaurant-style experience right at home.
Pair these delicious gluten free crunch vessels with Greek yogurt ranch or extra buffalo sauce for even more flavor.
Veggie-Focused Lunch Ideas
Veggies make the world go ‘round. When lunchtime strikes, you’ll need the beneficial nutrients in vegetable-based recipes to power you through the rest of your workday. Luckily, almost all veggies are naturally gluten free.
Vegetables are extremely versatile. You can season and cook them to suit your taste and texture preferences. One gluten free fan favorite is the healthy taco salad bowl.
Healthy Taco Salad Bowl Recipe
The beauty of taco bowls is that you can swap, mix, and match ingredients however you please. Our healthy taco salad bowl recipe incorporates ground turkey as a lean protein with heaping scoops of your favorite veggies, including:
- Corn
- Black beans
- Kale
- Bell pepper
- Cilantro
- White or red onion
You can swap out any of these veggies and still enjoy a gluten free healthy lunch.
Other healthy bowl options include rice bowls, quinoa salad, and Mediterranean bowls. Brown rice and quinoa are great filler options with plenty of fiber and micronutrients.
You can also add chickpeas to your healthy bowl to make it extra high-protein and give it a special Mediterranean twist. Olive oil, tahini, roasted vegetables, and hummus transform any lunch bowl into an overseas dream, complete with healthy carbs and free from gluten.
Gluten Free Pizza Lunch Options
Pizza is an office staple. On WFH days, you can enjoy even more delicious, customizable gluten free pizza options with Milton’s. Our Costco cauliflower pizza even comes in a two-pack for easy meal assembly—think grab-and-go pizza lunches.

Gluten Free BBQ Chicken Pizza
Who needs takeout? Gluten free BBQ chicken pizza brings in the classic sweet, tangy flavors you love with even less work than usual. Milton’s Four Cheese Cauliflower Crust Pizza is the star of the show, serving as an easy canvas for your BBQ, chicken, and fresh veggies of your choice—for health, of course.
While your pizza cooks in the oven, you can easily toss chopped chicken breast and BBQ sauce together in a bowl. Pro meal prep tip: This mixture makes fire BBQ chicken wraps as well.
Use a store-bought rotisserie chicken to make this recipe even easier. Many grocery stores sell pre-shredded rotisserie chicken in convenient containers.
Halfway through cooking, top your pizza with your homemade BBQ chicken to infuse the flavors into the crust and cheese. Work-from-home lunches have never been so easy or delicious.
Cheesy Gluten Free Pizza Sticks
Sometimes, you just need a finger-food lunch. These cheesy gluten free pizza sticks are the perfect example. We call these “snackable meals”—they’re essentially fun adult lunchboxes.
This recipe transforms pizza into fun dipper sticks to pair with a warm, gooey cheese dip. Milton’s Margherita Four Cheese Cauliflower Crust Pizza is our go-to for this recipe, but you can choose any of our gluten free pizza flavors to make the most of lunchtime at home.
These pizza sticks can also serve as a side dish in a larger meal or as part of your weekly meal prep. The homemade cheese dip includes mozzarella shreds, white cheddar, and fresh herbs. You can top the dip with grated Parmesan for extra flair and flavor.
Add different dipping sauces for more variety and creativity in your gluten free work-from-home lunch.
Looking for a High Protein Snack?
When your afternoon hits that “snack o’clock” moment, reach for something that satisfies your hunger and your taste buds. Milton’s Protein Crackers are the perfect pick-me-up between meetings or as a crunchy sidekick to your lunch.
Packed with plant-based protein and Milton’s signature flavor, these crackers make healthy eating feel effortless. They’re crispy, hearty, and perfect for dipping. You can enjoy them straight from the bag when you need a quick energy boost.

Tips for Assembling Delicious Work-From-Home Lunches
Variety keeps your lunches exciting. Switch up proteins, veggies, and Milton’s products each day. Monday could be a taco bowl with roasted veggies. Tuesday? A finger-food lunch with cheesy pizza sticks and Milton’s Gluten Free Crackers. Even swapping pizza or cracker flavors adds a whole new twist.
Add Plenty of Variety
Variety is the spice of life. Mix up your daily proteins, veggies, and Milton’s gluten free products to keep things fresh and exciting.
For example, Monday’s lunch might be a healthy rice bowl with roasted vegetables and our gluten free meal prep meatballs. Tuesday’s midday pick-me-up could be a finger food fiesta with cheesy gluten free pizza sticks, dipping sauce, and Milton’s Gluten Free Crackers.
Swapping out Milton’s pizza and cracker flavors is another great hack to freshen up your WFH lunch recipes. If a recipe calls for Multi-Grain, swap it out for Zesty Ranch and see how the flavor profile changes.
Meal Prep and Pre-Portion Your Lunches
Make-ahead meals are the key to saving time in your workday. Pre-portion your servings and store them in reusable containers so that they’re easy to reheat the next day. If you track calories or macros, you can use sticky notes on each container.
Gluten free wraps, quesadillas, burritos, and other pre-portioned meals like pasta salad can go in their own containers. If you prefer big-batch meal prep, store each ingredient or component in its own large container. Then, when you’re ready to eat, you can assemble your meals with each prepped ingredient.
For example, our gluten free meal prep meatballs can go in one container, and roasted veggies can be added to another. When you’re ready to combine the two, simply serve yourself out of each container.
Snack Ideas to Pair With Lunch
Try these delicious snack ideas to complement your healthy lunches:
- Fresh fruit with peanut butter
- Nuts
- Extra Milton’s Gluten Free Crackers
- Gluten free pizza snack bites
- Sweet potato fries
- Baked zucchini chips or fries

These side dishes will power you through to your next meal while offering heaps of fiber, protein, and nutrients.
