Calling all vegans!
I am a vegetarian, but would like to start following a vegan diet during the week and am looking to get some ideas for take to work lunches that are easy and full of veggie and fruit goodness!
Thanks for any input!

Thanks so much cellophane_star!
Great site!
Saw the thread and thought id share my vegan lunch today, Quorn chicken stir fry pieces cooked in a skillet with black beans, cilantro, cumin, and taco sauce (not sure if its vegan) over lettuce, tomato, onions, jalapenos topped with salsa and some Temptee cream cheese on top for a spice balence.
Also "eggless" egg salad, 1/2 cup soft tofu, dijon mustard, nayonaise, chopped onions, celery and peppers, celery seeds, pepper, and a lil curry on whole wheat toast.
Im not vegan pursey but I dabble in the vegetarian arts (can give up yogurt, fish or eggs to go all the way)
today my vegan lunch was: wholemeal pitta stuffed with TONS of houmous, cherry tomatos, sliced cucumber and onion. (i was also going to put grated carrot, sliced red pepper and lettuce in, but it wouldnt fit..!)
as long as your bread is vegan friendly, you can have many vegan sandwiches. my two faves:
- grated carrot, houmous and rocket
- peanut butter and banana.
soup (in a flask perhaps), with bread or with rice cakes, or even with a salad - make your own soup, or buy one that has no cream or milk added. i like:
- tomato and basil
- carrot and coriander
- leek and potato
and obviously you can make up a salad out of pretty much anything.. adding tofu, nuts, avocado, artichoke, beans...
personally if it was me, i would take some pitta and veggies to dip in houmous, and some fruit to dip in peanut butter. yum!
