5 Vegan Lunches Easy to Make at Home

 Whether you’re a busy parent, preparing to head off to work, or looking for something quick and easy to make for yourself, vegan lunches in this post are perfect! The best part is, these vegan meals are available in some European vegan cruises and they are healthy. This means that not only do they taste good and require little preparation time, but they also have the added benefit of being good for you.

These vegan recipes are perfect for parents who need something quick and easy to prepare for their little ones. Whether it’s your children heading off to school in the morning or you’re packing them a lunch before they head out with friends on the weekend, these vegan lunches will be just what they need to get through the day.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Roll Ups

These are a healthy and delicious lunchtime treat. They are high in protein and fiber and you'll feel full after eating one of these roll ups as a part of your lunch.

They're also great for kids! You can make these the night before if you're really busy in the morning and they will stay fresh until lunch time if you wrap them well.

To make these, spread natural peanut butter on a whole wheat tortilla and add some fruit like apples or bananas. You can also add nuts, flax seed, or whatever else you want to spice it up!

Roll it up like a burrito and slice into pinwheels with a sharp knife. Wrap each piece individually so that they don't get smashed at the bottom of your bag.

Avocado Toast with Sprouts

Avocado toast is a staple for many vegetarians and vegans, and it's not hard to see why. The buttery avocado pairs perfectly with the crunch of the toast for a delicious, decadent meal. It's such a simple recipe that you can adapt it however you like.

For this avocado toast, add some sprouts on top to add a little crunch and a fresh taste. Sprouts are an excellent source of protein, which makes them perfect for vegans and vegetarians who need to make sure they are getting enough protein in their diet.

Avocado toast is customizable, easy, and delicious! All you need to do is toast a slice of whole grain bread, spread on some mashed avocado, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and top with alfalfa sprouts. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice for some extra zing! The combination of healthy fats from the avocado and nutrients from the greens will keep you feeling satisfied until dinner time.

Grilled Zucchini Roll Ups with Tomato Basil Sauce

To make zucchini noodles, you can use a spiralizer. A hand-held spiralizer is the easiest to use and has the lowest price point, but if you are really looking to invest and don't mind space in your cupboards, a full-size machine will create a similar result at a faster pace. Just be careful not to overcook the noodles because they will go from firm to mushy in less than a minute.

This recipe calls for only three ingredients: cheese, spinach, and tomato sauce. The best part of this meal is that it gives you lots of room for customization. You can pick any kind of cheese you like, whether rich or sharp; fresh or aged; cow or goat; brie or gouda—just don’t forget your favorite vegan version!

For some extra flavor and color, you may want to add kale or chard to the roll ups as well. Finally, choose your favorite tomato sauce that is low in sugar.

Veggie-Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms

The most important thing to remember when attempting this recipe is that you’ll want to start with a large mushroom. The mushrooms will shrink a bit as they bake, so if the mushroom is too small it might be difficult to fill.

Use a damp cloth or paper towel to clean the surface of your mushroom and remove the stem. You might also choose to carefully scoop out the dark brown gills with a spoon. This will help create more space inside your mushroom for your chosen filling and will make your final dish look more appetizing. 

The best part of this recipe is that you can use whatever vegetables you have on hand. If you've got some onions and garlic, toss those in first. Then add any other veggies you like, such as bell peppers or corn. You can use kale or spinach for an extra burst of nutrients. Your mushrooms should be cleaned and dried before stuffing them with veggies, but don't forget to save the gills for garnish later.

Vegan Spinach and Sweet Potato Curry

This easy-to-make curry is packed with nutritious ingredients that are low in calories and high in healthy vitamins and minerals. For starters, sweet potatoes are a great source of vitamin A, vitamin C and manganese, while spinach contains a lot of iron and potassium. Meanwhile, the coconut milk gives it an exotic flavor while also providing your body with essential carbohydrates.

All in all, this dish is quick to make — ready in just 15 minutes — delicious to eat, and good for you too! Serve it with rice or quinoa to keep the meal light yet filling.

If you want to try vegan foods without hustle in preparation and cooking, consider booking your vegan culinary cruise.
