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!
Chickpea soup is one of our favorite vegan lunch ideas; it is rich in fiber, plant protein, heart-healthy fats, and antioxidants from rosemary and vegetables. Serve it with a slice of grilled or toasted bread brushed with garlic and drizzled with extra virgin olive oil.
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.
Every day eat a large spinach and mixed greens salad with black beans, blueberries, walnuts and other veggies on a bed of quinoa or brown rice. Top that off with a cashew-based salad dressing and you're done. So easy.
Yes, absolutely! Rice is a common grain in all cooking and has a significant place in the plant-based world too. Some rice dishes may not be suitable for vegans though, so if you're eating out or following a recipe make sure there are no meat, fish or other animal products being used before you tuck in!
With good planning and an understanding of what makes up a healthy, balanced vegan diet, you can get all the nutrients your body needs. If you do not plan your diet properly, you could miss out on essential nutrients, such as calcium, iron, vitamin B12, iodine and selenium.
Why not try some vegan cream cheese, crackers, vegan chutneys and other tasty snacks to create the ultimate vegan cheese board? Sweet potato fries and vegan ranch is a crowd-pleasing appetiser for meat eaters and vegans alike, here's a great recipe you could try.
