When I'd forget my lunch or be in too much of a rush in the morning, my go-to meal is to go to a grocery store and buy a whole bag of bagels and a whole container of cream cheese. Maybe grab clementines too, or even a box of granola bars if I'm with people.
Then I find some sort of utensil for spreading and bring the rest home with me as groceries instead of paying a lot for a restaurant meal.
Instead of paying $2.50 for a single bagel with cream cheese at Tim Horton's, I'm paying a little more for today's lunch and future easy-to-pack lunches.
If I ate meat I'd buy some cold cuts too when I was feeling fancy, and just use the free bags for produce to wrap it. And then get some pre-sliced Italian bread.
Avocado would be nice, though you need to make sure you have something to cut it.
Or cheese and crackers. If you can't get a hold of utensils, you can use cheese strings or the Babybell mini circles in the wax. You can even pick fancy crackers.
I've also bought containers of muffins, although normally I'm not feeling like muffins in the middle of the day (they're more like cake, and they burn my throat with all the sugar).
Boxes of rasins are another option if you do want sugar, or guava cheese.
A can of tuna with the tab and crackers. Though the can with the tab is usually pretty pricey. Have also bought resealable bags of baby carrots, and ready-to make salad kids. (Those kits are also expensie, and usually have meat in them).
And when I'm feeling super fancy (and ready to carry home some heavy stuff), a bottle of Boathouse
Just checked google. Yogurt is a good idea too, and bulk nuts (But I'm picky about types of yogurt.)
Wow someone else wrote something like this!

I like the smoked salmon idea. I've nearly done that a few times with the bagel, but am always afraid it'll make my backpack smell like fish.
Forgot they have precut and washed veggies in many places now.
