What do vegans eat for lunch

In the deli section of most health food stores you can usually find a bean salad with lots of different veges and rice mixed into it — a meal in itself. I sometimes cut up a tomato and toss it in for extra flavor. Great list.

I really like to heat apples up in the microwave too, then add PB. It feels like you are eating a dessert. What a great post! I have lost 70 lbs, quit smoking, became a vegetarian, and started running…while changing my career path to Clinical Nutrition to help others on the same path. This week, I have been working on the cardiac rehab floor with people who have had heart failure educating them on the 2 gm sodium restriction. Prevention is really the best medicine. GREAT post! I love that you all know how it feels to be the odd one out at work!

I get it all the time! Great suggestions to! I second the request for a baby update! Claire, yes I am. Freezer jam is way simple, and all you need is fruit, pectin, plastic freezer containers and 3 minutes to stir it all together.

The gelling agent is pectin, not gelatin. Pectin comes from fruit. Great list! Filling and great on cold days! For the chickpea variety, I mash the chickpeas in a bowl with the same other ingredients. Also, the ethnic section of most grocery stores have precooked rice pilafs and Indian dals etc. And never underestimate the tofurkey avocado club! Erin and Christine are right about the sunflower seed butter with apples!

Eating vegetarian seems easy in comparison, hehe. These are great ideas! Love Brendan Brazier and so awesome that you incorporate his stuff into your site. I just recently went vegetarian slowly, vegan.. Veggies and hummus on pita or in wraps is my favorite go-to lunch. BUT, my new favorite are homemade bean burgers. They have been great on pita with home-sprouted sprouts thank you for that lesson!

I will never go back to store-bought sprouts! I usually pack a salad or veggies and hummus with some fruit. Bean burgers are the best. I make chipotle bean burgers recipe on vegetariantimes. They are great over a salad. I feel weird leaving faceless comments! Anyway, if you go to Gravatar. You can put it in a whole wheat wrap, or pack along some lettuce leaves and make a lettuce wrap!

You can add flavor to the quinoa by adding curry powder or salsa, or dried fruit, chopped dates. Favorite vegetarian lunch: spinach dressed in raw hemp oil, chickpeas, raw cheddar cheese, and mulberries all made up into a salad. Wow, I feel like you read my mind with this blog topic. I have been reading your blog for awhile and gradually phasing out meat from my diet.

This week I decided to make the switch to going completely veg. Today I packed several mini lunches to keep from getting hungry and so far so good! I will be putting your ideas to good use at work this week.

Thanks for your help from a new vegetarian! All of the above are great! A few of them are regular lunches for me. Great ideas. One of my favorites is the roasted fill in gourd or tuber with ketchup. For easy protein, try lentils. I am eating some now. Mmmm, I can wait to try and make black bean hummus. Sounds amazing. And flatbread pizzas are the best thing ever! These are fabulous suggestions, thank you. I agree with your point about frozen lunches. My lunch today will look like this…super easy and all items from home.

I get the question all the time. Or worse, going hungry? And no leftovers allowed. Veggie wrap or pita. Other go-to options: avocado, shredded carrots, beans, any other vegetable you like. Bean burrito. Loaded-up salad. Some ideas to boost the calorie-count with protein, complex carbs, and healthy fats include: Walnuts Sliced almonds Hemp seeds Sunflower seeds Orange slices Apple slices Avocado Fancy nut oils Lemon juice Tempeh Olives Dulse flakes Nori Garbanzo, white, black, or pinto beans And about a million other options.

Wash and drain the spinach. Wash the bean sprouts with cold water and let them dry. For the dressing: Peel the ginger and grate it into a bowl. Add the cottage cheese , sour cream or your vegan substitute , lemon zest and mustard and mix it well.

Spread the dressing mixture onto the wraps , stopping about 1cm from the edge. Lay out the spinach leaves on top. Put the carrots, bell pepper, onions and bean sprouts in a wide line down the middle and sprinkle the roasted sunflower seeds on top. Season with a dash of salt and pepper and fold the wraps a little on both sides, then at the bottom and roll it as tightly as possible without squishing the insides out!

Cut the wraps into halves and serve. Who wants to waste good food after all? Nutrition Facts. Serving Size. Amount per Serving. Saturated Fat. Vitamin A. Vitamin C. Recipe Video.
