I know those of you on the Paleo diet are often looking for good Paleo lunch ideas so when members of my Paleo Recipes and Support Facebook Group had a discussion about it recently I thought I would compile their answers here, along with an index of the Paleo lunches I have on my blog so far.

I love getting real-life experience answers from real people to problems we all have in common.

What do you eat for lunch on Paleo?

Chicken salad
Salad - easy to vary the ingredients/protein.
Leftovers from supper
Roast beef from the deli (I use Food Lion's brand, not "processed" with all kinds of additives, not chopped and pressed!!)
Smoked turkey (not chopped and pressed, no additives)
Smoked ham, lean (check the ingredients for additives)
Salad with tuna or chopped ham on top
Homemade broccoli salad with crumbled BACON on top
Soup or stew with meat and veggies of your choice. Add spices that you love.
Soup
Make tortillas to have around and use as "bread"
Cashew butter and banana rolled in one
Tuna salad or chicken salad rolled in a tortilla
Taco meat with homemade taco seasoning
AIP flatbread with leftovers on it or spread with lots of guacamole
Meal prep a favorite dinner and eat it 4 days for lunch
Cilantro vinaigrette makes everything, even boring lettuce, taste good...
I always freeze leftovers and use them for lunches...gives me a variety so I don't get sick of eating the same old salad
If you weren’t on Paleo, went to a restaurant, what would you order? think about that and then create a paleo-friendly version.
