17 Vegetarian Lunch Ideas
Packing tasty vegetarian lunches can be one of the trickiest meals to plan for as a vegetarian. Because you can’t just take the ham off a ham cheese sandwich and call it a day. And don’t get me started on the sad, lifeless cafeteria salads. So today I’m sharing a few of my favorite vegetarian lunch ideas that are perfect for bringing to work or enjoying at home.
I’ve included a bunch of my favorite vegetarian lunch meal preps, along with some hearty salads and sandwiches. Moral of the story: you’ll be looking forward to your (meatless) lunch this week!
