Fun and Creative Vegan School Lunch Ideas
Are you a vegan looking for some lunch ideas to take with you to school? With veganism becoming more accessible and popular, there are plenty of options that are both healthy and delicious. Here are some ideas for vegan school lunches that will make you the envy of your classmates!
Vegan Wraps
Wraps are an easy way to get in some protein and vegetables while still keeping things interesting. Start with a whole wheat wrap, then fill it with vegan ingredients like black beans, hummus, chopped vegetables such as peppers and onions, guacamole or avocado slices, shredded lettuce or spinach, sliced tomatoes, or even vegan cheese. Add a side of cucumber slices or cherry tomatoes for some extra crunch
Vegan Salads
Salads can be a great option for a filling and nutritious lunch. Start with a base of leafy greens such as arugula or spinach and add your favorite ingredients like roasted veggies (roasted sweet potatoes make an especially delicious addition), chickpeas or another bean variety, nuts, seeds, fresh fruits like berries or apples, quinoa or other grains. Drizzle with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar for flavor. You can also add some tofu cubes if you need extra protein
Vegan Sandwiches
Sandwiches are another classic option that can easily be made vegan-friendly. Start by picking out your favorite type of bread—maybe something like sourdough or multigrain—then choose your toppings! Hummus spread is always a delicious choice; mix it up by adding avocado slices, tomato slices, carrots, cucumber slices, sprouts—whatever your heart desires! For something more substantial try adding seitan “meat” slices on top for added texture and flavor. If you're feeling adventurous try making your own tempeh bacon!
Making yummy but healthy vegan school lunches doesn't have to be difficult! With these ideas in mind—wraps, salads and sandwiches—you can create tasty meals that will leave you feeling full all day long without having to compromise on flavor or nutrition. So don't be afraid to get creative with your lunchtime recipes; the possibilities are endless when it comes to vegan food! Enjoy!
