September 8, 2008

Hi all.. am new ish to the board and am in 'transition' adding one

vegan step as often as I can.. so am now on soya yoghurts, vegan

margerine etc.. no milk in my tea anymore etc.

BUT.. I am a bit limited on lunches.. or I THINK i am.. soo.. thought

you wouldn't mind enlightening me.

currently I'm eating houmous which i found 3 flavoured tubs of in the

UK.. so get a bit of variety.

Also love banana sandwiches and don't mind jam but as i have a sugar

imbalance i'm starving not long after those...

thanks for any advice you can offer.

Lunch ideas. Some of them are not ideal for other reasons but they

are a nice compromise when you are trying to transition from one

lifestyle to another:

1. Shakes made with soy protein, soy milk, bananas, frozen

strawberries, flax seed oil, and organic baby oatmeal (it dissolves

easy and gives the shake some bulk.

2. Taco shells with vegan refried beans and/or a vegan meat

substitute warmed up in taco seasoning mix, lettuce, tomato, and if

you can find it the nacho flavor cheezy cheeze (made by Play Food).

omg so good.

3. Microwave products by Amy's. They do a yummy tofu, brown rice,

and veggie mix. Also some of their vegan burritos are good too.

4. Fast food: Taco Bell's 7 layer burrito without the cheese or

cream cheese. Pizza Hut pizza with traditional crust with just the

sauce and veggies, no cheese.

5. Stir fry veggie pack from freezer section, mix in tofu and

favorite stir fry sauce. (takes 5 min)

6. Almond butter on sliced apples. (heaven) with a salad. Cindy's

makes a great Miso dressing.

Hope that helps!

you're bored in retirement cuz your energies drained away, your money had no answer, you just still want more! your life was never different then the guy next door!

all your neighbors are competitors, where'd you all go wrong? there never was a mountain to climb. potential friends are now your enemies, where'd you all go wrong? there never was a mountain to climb.

today was capelini with tomato sauce, fried tofu, garlic, basil, fresh tomatoes, red bell peppers

yesterday was, "turkey" sandwich..sorry, don't recall the name of the deli product....rebecca likes it, so she gets it...so, "turkey" slices (soy) with veganise, lettuce, onions, pickles on some italian bread, with a side of grapes, peaches, nectarines, and melon

saturday...i think it was left over pizza. that makes sense. we made pizza on friday afternoon

now, i assume you are talking about eating away from home (unemployment means i get to putter around the house, er graze in the garden)...

for me, it used to be all about leftovers. whatever we had for dinner the night before became the next day's lunch.

used to do the amy's frozen dinners and such, but they just got tooo expensive, and frankly, rebecca and i can cook better then that.

cheers

Hi

Banana sandwiches are full of quick release sugars, and virtually no

protein, which is why you're hungry again very quickly after them! I'd

suggest adding some protein to that mix - maybe a couple of handfuls of

nuts. I often have Almond butter sandwiches (and there are plenty of other

nut butters out there), or redwoods chicken style slices.
