Vegan lunch ideas have always been a challenge for me. Lunch in general has always been a challenge, actually.
Breakfast is easy. There’s cereal, coconut yogurt with granola & berries, vegan pancakes, hash browns with veggies, french toast, etc. Dinner is not necessarily easier in terms of ideas, but at that point in the day, I am more eager to make something interesting.
Lunch, on the other hand, is right in the middle of my day, which disrupts my work routine, and just frustrates me. So – I usually have either breakfast for lunch, or leftovers from dinner the night before.
Not anymore, though!
I forced myself to put together a lost of vegan lunch ideas that would help me any time I got into a lunch rut (which seems to be often these days!). These ideas are all great for lunch, not hard to make, and many of them can be prepared the evening before, so all I have to do is heat them up (or eat them cold) for lunch the next day.
If you’ve ever had problems deciding on meal ideas for lunch, take a look at this list. Hopefully it will help us both!
30 Tasty Vegan Lunch Ideas





























Great Vegan Recipes and Ideas! I will surely use them. Thank you!
Thanks fro the inspiration. I am bookmarking this and going to try every recipe!
great meal ideas however the title is very misleading! These are not vegan, they are vegetarian. Vegan means no animal products whatsoever (no eggs, milk, or anything made with eggs or milk. Not even bread is vegan!) someone who is truly vegan might get excited by the post and find out they can’t eat any of these recipes. I highly recommend you change the title to something more accurate.
These recipes are all vegan. I’m sure the website owner knows what vegan means too, since she is vegan herself. You are wrong in that most bread is vegan.
Just curious as to why you say these are not vegan recipes? If she uses honey she says to change it so it can be vegan. Any recipe can be veganized..
Thank you! Not only do these look delicious, they seem like they could handle being made ahead! I can’t wait to put them into my rotation (or..you know, START a rotation, based on these recipes;p)
I always struggle with lunches, thank you!
Woohoo thanks for the great ideas and recipes !
