grab-and-go meals
Quick takeaway food
Grab-and-go meals are prepared foods packaged for quick purchase and immediate consumption—sandwiches, salads, and similar items sold at convenience stores, cafeterias, and grocery delis.
The phrase emphasizes speed: you grab the food and go, without waiting for preparation or sitting down to eat.
The office cafeteria added more grab-and-go meals for busy employees.
