Easy Vegan Lunch Ideas for School, Work & Kids

FOLLOW ME:

RECIPES:

Broccoli Cheese Soup:
1/2 small white onion, diced
1 medium carrot, chopped
1 1/2 cups broccoli, chopped into bite-size pieces
1 tbsp oil or vegan butter for cooking onion & carrots
2 tbsp vegan butter
3 tbsp flour - all purpose or brown rice flour (gluten free) work
1 1/2 cups almond or other non-dairy milk
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
black pepper to taste
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1/2 cup vegan cheddar shreds or 1/4 cup nutritional yeast

Heat pot on medium. Add oil and saute onions and carrots for 5 minutes until onions are translucent. Put into a bowl and set aside. Add vegan butter to the pot and wait for it to melt. Add the flour and whisk to combine into a paste. Slowly add the almond milk a little bit at a time, whisking so it stays a smooth consistency. Keep whisking on the heat until it thickens. Then add the vegetable stock and veggies including the broccoli and the spices. Simmer on low heat for 20 mins. Add the cheese and stir until it melts. Serve hot with bread on the side or put it in a thermos to take for lunch!

Wrap (makes 2 wraps)
Tahini Sauce:
2 tbsp tahini or peanut butter
2 tbsp coconut milk
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp maple syrup or sugar
1 tbsp warm water

1 medium sweet potato, cooked and mashed (use 1/2 for each wrap)
1/2 cup dry quinoa + 1 cup water (cook this according to the package directions)
greens
2 whole wheat wraps

Stir sauce ingredients together. Add 1 tbsp extra warm water if it is too thick. Assemble the wraps, mashing 1/2 of the sweet potato onto each.

Overnight Oats
1/3 cup dry oats
1 tbsp chia seeds
2/3 cup almond milk or other non-dairy milk
1 tbsp cocoa
1 tsp sugar
berries and chocolate to top it off.

Mix together and refrigerate overnight. Add toppings before eating.

i like that you kept in mind that schools don't have microwaves! i can't tell you how many "school" lunch tutorials say something like "and microwave it when you're ready to eat". my dude. i can't.

For some reason, my cat is absolutely fascinated by your food prepping. If I watch a video like this while he's sitting with me, he's riveted until you start to wrap up the video. Then he doesn't care anymore, haha! :)

These are my favourite videos! They make lunches effortless!

[sandynegron]

I tried your vegan burger recipe yesterday wth my sister and we fell inlove. Trying to convince my sister of anything is impossible but the burger did all the talking. Thanks for these recipes!

[lashawnariley]

I watch all your videos because I'm in high school and soon will get a job so I can buy my own groceries and go vegan to eat these lunches at school cuz they look so delicious and better than what they serve us

[lifeinthegrey]

Definitely going to try out the soup, looks delicious!

[fashionbug]

Mmm I made the soup last night, and it was SO GOOD! Next time, I'll do a little less onion and broth. I'd even recommend steaming the carrots & broccoli beforehand to make it break apart easier into the soup!

[elizabethbailey]

That sweet potato wrap looks so good! Can’t wait to try it next week!

[regenyumi]

I really like the overnight oat idea!Might try it myself next time !
