i'm fifteen years old and i've been vegan since august 30 and vegetarian for three and a half years!.
at first i wasn't sure i could do it when i went vegan, but now i feel great about it :)
i take my lunch to school on most days when i feel like eating!. for example, today i had a hummus sandwich with fake cheese, applesauce, and a banana!. you can also have like peanut butter and jelly or well i know this sounds weird but i like to make sandwiches with pasta salad lol

Sandwiches (bread, tomato, lettuce, vegan mayo if you can find it - or peanut butter and jelly)!.
Pasta with tomato sauce (and you can add beans, mushroom, broccoli, or whatever)
Rice dishes of any type!.
If you're already vegetarian, you're 90% there!. Now it's just a question of dairy products, which aren't a big deal!. Just stop drinking milk and eating stuff with cheese or eggs, and you're set!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I went vegan when I was 18, but I still packed/ pack my lunches!. heres some of my favs
1!.Hummus, sprouts and lettuce on a pita
This is a total stereotypical vegan lunch, but its totally awesome!. Take a knife spread the hummus on one side of the pita, then put lettuce on top of the hummus and then add the sprouts and fold like a taco!. You get all the food groups and some protien with this - the fruits
2!. Fakin bakin blt
Go to a health food store and pick up some vegan mayo, fakin bacon (light life, boca, or some other brand) or some tempeh bacon (my favorite), some lettuce(good green leafy kind) and obviously some tomato!.
Fry up(or microwave if you have to) the bacon, toast your bread, and combine, and be pumped on a rad lunch
3!. Cold vegan pizza
Learn how to make some bomb vegan pizza!. Throw it in your lunch box cold
heres an easy recipe for pizza bread from peta 2
“Pepperoni” Pizza Bread
2 large loaves Italian bread
3/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup tomato sauce
2 packs soy pepperoni
6 oz!. shredded vegan mozzarella soy cheese
Preheat the oven to 375°F!. Cut the bread in half lengthwise and set the top halves aside!. Pour and spread the oil evenly onto both bottom halves, then spread the sauce evenly over the oil!. Next add a layer of “pepperoni” and finish by sprinkling the soy cheese on top!. Put the top halves back on the bread, wrap with foil, and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until soy cheese is melted!.
4!. PBNJ
Im sure you could have figured this out yourself, but everyone including peter griffin from family guy loves penut butter and jelly time !
Anyways just read the back of labels, add up protiens and nutients, and many a happy luch you will have ! dont forget b-12 suppliments too
