I've had a few emails over the past couple of months asking for packed lunch ideas, particularly for recipes that require no heating and can be eaten cold.
So I've put together a list of 20 of the best vegan lunchbox-friendly recipes I've found (and don't worry, they're not all salads...)
All of these recipes are meat-free, dairy-free and eggless. They can all be eaten cold or at room temperature and are perfect for work lunches, picnics and outings!
20 Vegan Packed Lunch Recipes
Roast Vegetable Quinoa Salad
Quinoa dotted with finely chopped roasted vegetables. Great on it's own or with extras like baked tofu.
A super simple to make tart, filled with delicious Mediterranean flavours. Makes 1 large or 2 small tarts. These are delicious eaten cold/room temperature.
If you enjoy being more artistic with your food, you'll love this Onigri recipe, for a beautiful lunchbox meal.
BBQ 'Shroom Buns
These mushroom buns are so incredibly flavourful. This filling also works well in a wrap.

Thanks for including my pies. What a fabulous roundup. These would definitely cheer up my midweek lunches. I'll have to try some of these. Sharing!
Most vegan diets include beans in at least one meal per day, including lentils, chickpeas, black beans, pinto beans and many more. Many vegans consume soy-based proteins such as tofu and tempeh; their mild flavor makes them a great substitute for meat in stir-fries, soups and stews.
Super vegans are committed to a plant based diet and look for products certified by The Vegan Society, Cruelty Free International and other reputable organisations. There are multiple benefits of veganism but most people are attracted to the impact it has on farmed animals and fish.
Staple vegan foods such as oats, lentils, pasta, rice and chickpeas are among the cheapest foods and are in *a lot* of vegan recipes, so should definitely make an appearance on your list. Oh, and avoid shopping whilst hungry. You're more likely to stray from the plan...
A vegan diet is based on plants (such as vegetables, grains, nuts and fruits) and foods made from plants. Vegans do not eat foods that come from animals, including dairy products and eggs.
You could start by removing meat or dairy one day a week and go from there. Or you could try changing one meal at a time, having vegan breakfasts during your first week, adding a vegan lunch during week two and so on.
The simple answer is yes; vegans can eat bread. However, not all bread is created equal, and it's essential to check the ingredients list or labelling to ensure the bread is vegan-friendly. Some bread contains animal-derived ingredients such as eggs, milk, or honey, which are unsuitable for vegans.
Vegan lunch meat is an animal-free sandwich stuffer that comes in a wide range of varieties, from classic cold cuts such as bologna, ham, and turkey to fancy flavors like lentil sage and chipotle chili.
