What are very simple foods?
im 13 and i need something vegetarian to eat at school...im new to being vegetarian so i need a little help. What should i have my mom buy for me to eat for lunch? and what are some good snacks? and breakfast! thanxx for the help!
Answers:
Veggie sandwiches are awesome! You can put lettuce, tomato, alfalfa sprouts and avocado on them--perfect to take to school and filling too.
String Cheese
Celery a/o Carrot Sticks are good snacks :-)
For breakfast you can have eggs, toast, salted tomatoes and if you want sausage...they have "boca type sausages" that are made from soy instead of meat....
Salad..... simple enough.. sold everywhere health and nice to eat
1.Salad
2.Apple
3. Boca Burger(a line of vegterian burgers)
I recommend salad
I've always enjoyed a baked potato with salsa...if there's a place to nuke it. Otherwise, a good veggie sandwich, salad, white corn nacho chips with salsa. You can top a salad with all kinds of vegetarian choices like roasted almonds, chow mein noodles, crutons (and if you eat dairy products) feta cheese. I like to put dried cranberries in mine and top it with a raspberry vinagrette and almonds. There are sooooo many choices out there for you, and I know Oprah's magazine has good vegetarian recipes in it. Good Luck!
*oink* lol Kashi Products, yummy, and don't worry they are healthy :)
SOme good things are rice and beans, you can mix so many different types of rice or beans and add veggies. Peanut butter and jelly is also very healthy you can put it on a whole grain bread and its great. Fresh fuits and veggies are also great as snacks.
Pita and Hummus. Peanut butter and Celery, Avocado Sandwiches, I absolutely love the morning star farms patties (way better than boca), they come in sausage and burger forms. Just be very careful that you are not carb loading, and that your getting enough protein!!
a good source of energy is provided by nuts - I'd recommend walnuts, almonds and cashew - all toasted - because they provide omega 3 . Other good foodstuffs that you can have for lunch or dinner are beans, barley, and generally speaking all complex carbs (here you can find a good explanation of what complex carbs are http://www.medical-library.net/sites/fra...
For snacking I'd also suggest batons of carrots and celery.
veggie snack packs in the produce section. its fresh fruits and veggies with dips. yummie
* Of course, peanut butter and jelly is an easy staple. Pack some raw veggies with it, and you have a balanced meal.
* Spread veggie ham with vegan cream cheese to make roll ups.
* Make a veggie dog in a blanket―wrap a veggie dog in a crescent roll and bake. Pack ketchup for dipping.
* Spread bread with eggless mayonnaise (try Vegenaise) and pile on veggie deli slices and Tofutti American soy cheese slices.
* Make a mock chicken-salad sandwich with Morningstar Farms Meal Starters Chik’n Strips.
* Make your own “lunchable” by packing meat-free Smart Deli Pepperoni slices, soy cheese slices, and crackers.
* Make eggless “egg” salad: Mash together tofu, soy mayo, turmeric, salt, and spices.
* Cut mini-pitas in half, and stuff them with hummus and chopped tomatoes, falafel, or your favorite sandwich filling.
* Pack hard breadsticks with peanut butter or hummus.
* Make a mini pizza by topping toasted English muffins (Wonder Bread-brand muffins are vegan) with pizza sauce, a slice of soy cheese, and veggie pepperoni.
