Healthy brown bag lunches for VEGANS?!
just went vegan after being a vegetarian for 1 year and a half and i need some ideasWww@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
1) Cold pasta salads!. I am a huge fan of the funky pasta shapes (and I'm not sure why)!. You could boil some noodles (rinse, drain and run cold water on them) and drizzle some Italian dressing on top!. You can also cut up your fave veggies (broccoli, onions, green and red bell peppers, carrots, etc!.) and toss!. Simple and filling!
2) Veggie sandwich or wrap!. I like using hummus as my "mayo"!. I layer on marinated artichoke hearts, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, alfalfa sprouts and sometimes red onions!.
3) Sushi!. Making it at home is not that difficult!. The tools/utensils are cheap and it's fun to roll them and try making the rolls!. I use cucumbers, carrots, avocados and mushrooms for mine!. Slice and keep cool!. Carry some wasabi, pickled ginger and soy sauce!. Yum!
4) Veggie soup!. In the winter, this is always my stand-by!. It doesn't have to be homemade, but if you can find a good vegetarian vegetable soup, you're good!. Pack a slice of crusty bread and enjoy!.
5) Tossed salads!. They are no-fail!. To me, they are really refreshing in the winter as I tend to eat a lot of heavy foods!. Add your fave veggies and put the dressing on right before you eat!.
I hope that helps!

You could boil some lentils in vegetable broth with spices, then mash into a spread!. I've heard about people doing this with peas too!. You'll want to refrigerate it!. Toast 2 pieces of bread and put them in a sandwich baggy!. Pack the spread separately in a little container!. Then you'll spread it on the sandwich right before eating it!. If you have a microwave, you could have a hot lentil spread sandwich!. I would probably eat it with some homemade potato chips (low fat and sodium)!.
If you have fake vegan "beef" crumbles, you could mix some homemade sloppy joe sauce into it!. Then pack it separately with a hamburger bun and have a nice vegan sloppy joe!. Mmmm!.
Pasta salad is always good, have some pasta salad with noodles, oil, vinegar, black olives, green olives if you want them and edamame or another bean as a protein!. I'd eat that with some fruit on the side and a nice big cold drink!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
