.. Vegan Lunch? I tried to go vegan a few months ago, I was a vegetarian for about a year or two, but I was right failed.The summer food.In my school cafeteria, I wonder seriously if there is a slaughterhouse behind it.We have never had a choice of salad or anything that is not pizza, nachos large (ie, it is cheese, meat, salsa, etc.), tacos, chicken fingers, hot dogs, and things like that.Now you're probably thinking, Well ... Well you've been a vegetarian, and got through it .. What is your point? Well, I went to another school until I moved, and now I'm going to a different school, and my old school we had no hot lunch choices we have made our own.I want to go vegan again, and the school reopens in September, I need ideas for meals I can bring to school ... I do not like soy / tofu or hummus. Any ideas? Thanks y'all:]
sandwich peanut butter and jam
Pasta (i love cold pasta)
Vegan Pizza (whole wheat crust, tomato sauce, veggies)
Cereals (grains and soy milk containers separte Pack)
veggie burgers / dogs
Salad (pack dressing separately)
For nutrients and protein, you can pack some nuts to accompany your meal. (I usually put the cashews or almonds)
Edit: Here, I found this site http://www.veganlunchbox.blogspot.com/
School lunch programs are a disgrace. They advocate a healthy diet and slay the children in fatty meats, milk and fragile prepackaged iceberg lettuce and carrots slightly faded.
tabbouleh salad is very good and it is super easy and so good to do. You can make a huge batch on Monday and just eat constantly as the week goes (I do not know a recipe on the top of my head, watch online.) Something I find really good, that is this sandwich:
1 tbsp spinach
medium yellow onion
1 / 4 C. pine
1 medium tomato, diced
Fry all this in a skillet in a little peanut oil (gives the flavor) and put on bread. I usually add BC Chicken I'm not vegetarian, but you can leave on or add anything you want.
Other ideas:
beans and rice
vegetables steamed
hot soup in a thermos
Salad stuffed in a pita
vegetable juice
You can make your own chips or fries by cutting the potatoes, put them on a greased cookie sheet with spices you want (I usually go with cumin, pepper, chili powder, oregano, salt but works well) and bake at 350 for 20 minutes or so
Find you love like bread grain bread or sourdough bread or pita. Then write a list of vegies back and try combinations.
mushroom pie is a great expectation and goes well with salad items or try a peanut butter and salad roll.
