New person, so if the question has already be addressed, forgive me.

I am a vegetarian (vegan is soooo hard to support in a small, midwest

pork producing town!) Anyway, my daughter is also a vegetarian

trending towards vegan. Of course her school lunches (8th grade) do

NOT allow for this, so she packs. Any suggestions for vegan lunches

that can be packed? So far she has had either tuna, peanut butter and

Morning Star veggie chicken nuggets on a salad every day. It is going

to be a very long year for her if I cannot come up with additional

things for her to eat.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thank you so much.

We just bought a thermos for my daughter this year. We are packing soups or

beans to keep warm inside the thermos. Other main dishes we are doing are

veggie dogs baked in dough (veggie pigs in the blanket), vegan deli slices

(balogna, ham) on wonderbread or bagel, or I will cut up into little cubes and

give her crackers to eat with them, hummus in pita bread (with pickles and/or

shredded veggies). Sides we do fruit (bananas, grapes, etc) and veggies

(carrots or broccoli) with hummus in a separate container to dip. And then I

let her pick a snack to have (oreos, teddy grahams, fruit snacks or something

like that).

I got my friends to save small containers from restaurants for us to use to

store the small fruits and veggies - It works perfectly.

Hi Julie,

 

There are so many options for packing lunches; especially if the classroom has

a microwave. Whole wheat tortillas are a great base for lots of wraps, like nut

butters and jellies; faux deli meat and rice cheese; hommous and shredded

veggies; leftovers. Inspired by the evil lunchables, I pack " make your own "

nachos (chips, beans, shredded cheese, guacamole) and pizza (a slice of whole

grain bread cut into quarters, sauce, cheese, sliced mushrooms). Veggie kabobs

with a side of dressing.

 

Just about anything can be packed in a lunch.
