You’ve probably seen our fitness challenges over the last several years, but this week, we’re bringing you a different type of challenge: your 7-day “Pack A Healthy Work Lunch” challenge.

making your own lunch every day can save you approximately $2,500 a year! With so many benefits, there’s no reason not to get in the habit of brown bagging your lunch each day, and we’ve got just the push you need with our 7-day challenge.
Pick a few of your own favorites or try these seven delicious, healthy lunches that are packed with protein, flavor and are all under 400 calories! These sensational salads, soups and sandwiches will leave you satisfied, happy and filled with energy to power through the rest of the day. Need a partner in crime?
