More Portable Lunches
-Terrific Tupperware/Thermoses: Make soup, mashed potatoes, chili,
refried beans, or cooked vegetables and keep them hot in a thermos or
tupperware. Take crackers or bread along with them.
-Packaged Veggie Burgers, Veggie Dogs: Easily heat them up in the microwave.
-Baked Potato: Bake a potato and wrap it in foil to hold in the heat.
Top the potato with salsa, canned vegetarian chili, or an instant
bean-and-rice cup meal.
-Pasta Salad: Easy to do in advance - pasta with favorite veggies and
some salad dressing, vinegar, or non-dairy mayonnaise.
-Soy Yogurt with Granola: There are so many soy yogurts available now.
Some favorite brands are Wildwood and WholeSoy.
-VBLT Sandwich: The "V" is for veggie. Use store-bought bacon
(Lightlife's "Smart Bacon" or Yves Canadian Bacon), lettuce, tomato, and
delicious non-dairy mayonnaise, and you're all set!
-Instant Soups or Meals-in-a-Cup: All you have to do is add hot water.
-Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches: I don't think my husband would mind
me revealing that he still makes this almost everyday for lunch!
Sometimes a favorite is just a favorite!
-Pre-packaged lunches: There are so many companies making it easy to eat
healthful, delicious, organic lunches - check out Amy's Organics
burritos, enchiladas, and stir-frys as well as other brands.
-Quick pizzas: Certainly make fresh pizza dough if you have the time,
but English Muffins (look for the vegan ones - some have milk products
in them) and pita pockets make a great substitute. Use soy cheese,
tomato sauce, favorite veggies and oregano, and voila!
-Canned soups: There are sooo many delicious soups available - low
sodium and organic are also easy to find. My favorites are Amy's
Organics and Imagine.
-Green salad with lots of veggies: Of course, this old stand-by is a
great option. Add all your favorite veggies and nuts/seeds, and pack up
your favorite dressing until you're ready to eat!
-Meatless Cold Cuts and Deli Slices: I know some people are turned off
by meatless meats, but they've come a long way! Lightlife, Yves, and
Tofurky put out DELICIOUS deli slices (my favorite is the turkey). Give
them a try. They're a great addition to a sandwich with tomato, hummus
(or other non-dairy spread), and lettuce. Yum!
-Packaged Sushi: Many deli counters offer a lot of pre-packaged
relatively fresh options. There is a misnomer that sushi means "fish,"
but it technically/literally refers to the way the rice is rolled/formed
and rolled/topped with whatever - in our case, usually cucumbers,
avocado, ginger. (For the best vegetarian sushi experience EVER, please
visit Cha Ya on Shattuck in Berkeley. A vegan Japanese restaurant that
is just amazing!)
-Quick Pasta with Marinara Sauce and "Meat": Whip up some pasta (takes 5
minutes!), heat up some sauce with or without veggie "ground beef."
Filling and delicious.
