But what do I eat at work lunches and when going out?!


Question: I have been a veggie all my life, and now a vegan. Yesterday, I went out with friends and we went to Village Inn. All of sudden, I did not know what I could order? I asked the waiter, and he had no idea what Vegan was!

Anyway, I only eat a pathetic salad. At home I eat amazing foods, I love cooking.

But what do I eat at work lunches and when going out?

Please do not tell me to stop being a vegan.

Congrats on going vegan!

When going out as a vegan it is always good plan ahead to bring some snacks of your own, such as:
Dried fruit, fruits, nuts, vegetables, applesauce, pretzels, soft pretzel, seeds (sunflower, flax, etc), bars, trail mix, vegan granola bars, dark chocolate, & spicy chickpeas.

For work lunches: Sandwiches made with Tofurky deli-slices or a meat substitute, with vegetables (such as lettuce, tomatoes) and vegan mayo (such as Vegenaise), or tempeh, lettuce & tomato sandwhich. Also, the classic PB & J is good, you can spice it up with adding bananas, apples, strawberries, etc to it! Falafel with hummus & avocado on pita bread. Hummus with shredded carrots and celery with a flour tortilla or pita bread. Rice, avocado and peanut butter. A salad, chili, vegan shushi, or burritos are also a good option.

Restaurants: As the manager or cook what vegan options they have, if they do not know what vegan is, tell them! Also there are guides online!

Is a great website for work lunch ideas.
Have a yummy lunch.

You'll have to do some homework about the restaurants in your area... good luck it's tough when vegan. I am not personally, but have done a few vegan menus... it was challenging

Sandwiches, are a good lunch and there are dozens of fillings.

make amazing food in the morning and bring it to work

bring your own!
