We need to talk. About lunch.
More specifically, about the struggle that is packing a lunch that you actually look forward to eating. Because I know we’ve all been there – standing in front of the fridge or pantry with the doors wide open, just hoping that something jumps out and dazzles us. Well, not literally jumps out at us since that would be terrifying, but you get what I’m saying. Lunch ideas – we need ’em.
But they’re so evasive! So.ridiculously.evasive that we stand there looking like a lost puppy until we realize that we were supposed to be out the door 10 minutes ago and grab whatever catches our eye first… which usually ends up being a random conglomeration (had to sneak that word in there) of snack-type things that leave us unsatisfied and wanting more. Or maybe we’ve given up on the lunch battle completely and just pack the same thing every.single.day so we don’t have to think about it.
I feel ya. I’ve definitely been there. It might not be such a big problem anymore since I’m no longer in school and work from home, but that doesn’t mean I don’t remember the days where I ate an almond butter and jelly/banana sandwich daily because I couldn’t be bothered to think up something more exciting.
But now I’m doing the thinking for you, and I’ve rounded up 15 easy and healthy vegetarian lunches that you can pack for work or school and actually look forward to eating. They’re portable, nutritious, delicious, and double as healthy dinner options too. They’re also all from other bloggers since… uhm… most of my creative energy goes towards baking, which leaves my cooking skills slightly lacking.
I hope you find some inspiration!

There’s no need to feel guilty about enjoying a healthy vegetarian lunch anymore! Thanks to innovative food trends and new technologies, it’s now possible to enjoy a meal that is both nutritious and enjoyable. Some of the best foods for vegetarians include sushi, burrito bowls, quesadillas and salads. All of these dishes can be made with healthy ingredients like grains, vegetables, fruits and legumes. You can also add toppings like avocado or salsa to make them even more delicious and nutritious.

Funny: so many of these sandwichs/wraps are sooo not portable and would get soggy. your muffins are much better for the grab n go.
The salads without the dressing, or salads that marinate are ok… if youve got a gd-blessed leak proff container! #soggyassignment
Love your recipes!
Thank you SO much for including my Pizza Burritos in this fabulous roundup! I need to make my way through all of these. YUM. Sharing now!
Count me IN for all of these!!
Oh how I wish my lunches looked this good every day! I usually focus so much of my energy on dinner that lunch is just whatever. Like today I had a frozen burrito with tomatoes and sweet potato chips. Yeah, I much rather have any of these! Thanks for including me, lady! <3
Oh man these all look so good even for someone who eats meat 3xday lol! The vegan pizza burritos would be my first choice.
Such a great list! Those chickpea gyros are calling my name.
These all look amazing! I am the worst with packing lunches. Unless I have good leftovers on hand, I’ll throw a frozen meal in my bag or go out to eat. Maybe this weekend I’ll get motivated enough to do some prep for the week!
thank you lovely! Now where is your vegan mac and cheese? that would be my lunch choice today. and a coffee date with you to follow. <3 you so
Hey, don’t be knocking the snack plate; that’s my lunch staple, although these recipes look magnificent so I may have to make some changes.
Yesss!!! Lunch is my least favorite meal to come up with! It’s so difficult lol Making lunches at night is seriously the worst but these are all such great ideas! And now I’m starving lol
These look interesting. I’m not a vegetarian but I do enjoy some vegetarian meals. I might have to try a couple of these. Thanks for sharing Amanda!
