Many vegans find themselves trapped in a rut when it comes to lunch preparation. What they may not understand is that there are a plethora of incredibly simple and nutritious vegan lunch ideas and recipes available for them if they’re prepared to put in a little work in the kitchen!
For your lunch, here are five vegan cuisine ideas and recipes.
Lentil burger (veggie burger)
Making a vegetable or lentil burger is a healthy, simple, and delicious vegan lunch option. Choose a vegan patty brand that you like, then cook the patties according to the package guidelines in a frying pan or in the oven. Meanwhile, cut open your bread roll and spread pesto, hummus, or guacamole on the bottom. On a bread bun, top the cooked burger with sliced tomato, shredded beetroot and carrot, and sliced pineapple. And that’s all there is to it!
Pizza mediterranean vegan
This is a really simple vegan meal to make. If you’re at home, you may make it the night before or the next day. A vegan pizza foundation and vegan tomato paste may be found at your local health food store. If you don’t have vegan tomato paste on hand, brush your pizza base with olive oil or pesto instead. Olives, sun-dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes (halved), sliced mushrooms, thinly sliced red onion, and a few dollops of pesto are all good additions. After that, either grate some vegan cheese or create a “white sauce.” To prepare the white sauce, combine 1 tablespoon of flour and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a hot frying pan and sauté for 30 seconds. After that, season with salt, pepper, and dry herbs. Finally, gently pour in the rice or soy milk, a little at a time, while swirling constantly. Remove from the heat after the correct thickness has been attained and ladle over your pizza. Cook your pizza for around 30 minutes in a moderate oven.

From the grocery or health food store, get some pita bread wraps and falafel mixture. Prepare and cook your falafel patties according to the package instructions, then remove them from the heat and put them aside. On the inside of your pita bread, spread some vegan hummus dip (from the store or create your own) on both sides. Add sliced onions, shredded lettuce, parsley, grated carrots, or any other salad toppings that you want. Inside your pita bread, place 2 or 3 falafel patties and carefully split them apart with a fork. Season with salt and pepper to taste.Enjoy.
Salad with Faux Lunchmeat or “Bacon” sandwich
Over the past several years, the taste and content of vegan faux meat products sold in supermarkets and health food stores have vastly improved. What was once dull and unappealing now has the potential to become gourmet and pleasurable. Faux meats, sausages, and lunch meats are getting more and more like real meats, but they’re made with different grains, legumes, herbs, and spices, as well as soy, wheat, and pea protein.
Cook your synthetic bacon or choose your favorite fake meat. Add olives, sun-dried tomatoes, mustard, hummus, pesto, avocado, guacamole, lettuce or spinach, shredded carrot, beetroot, corn, sliced onion, vegan cheese, fresh or dried herbs, and, of course, freshly ground pepper and sea salt to your vegan bread roll, wrap, or loaf.
A sandwich with peanut butter and jelly
Choose your favorite vegan bread, wrap, or bread roll, then add natural peanut butter and a natural jam of your choice on top! Who says grownups can’t enjoy a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?
As you can see, there are a variety of quick vegan lunch options that you may make for yourself. The preceding lunch dishes are simple enough that even a novice vegan chef can make them. Remember, vegan cuisine doesn’t have to be boring, so be creative and discover some tasty ideas!
