5 Quick Vegan Lunch Ideas
We have all experienced the rush of sorting lunch with a busy day ahead, whether you’re heading off to work, packing the kid’s lunchbox for school or rustling up a healthy, quick plant-based lunch.
We’ve pulled together our five favourite vegan lunch ideas that will take you under 20 minutes. You don’t need to be an experienced chef, as we’ll take you through the easy recipe step-by-step.
First up, we’ve got these delicious lentil fritters that are a high-protein quick vegan lunch that are super easy to make. Made with lentils and butternut squash, they’re nice and filling and you can even add some sautéed mushrooms and courgettes on the side.
We reckon you can get these made and flipped to perfection in under 20 minutes!
This vegan twist on the nostalgic Italian polenta dish is a great winter warmer. Paired with our Soulful Pumpkin Spice OnePot, you can get this tasty recipe rustled up in under 15 minutes for a quick vegan lunch idea that won’t disappoint.
With minimal ingredients, this plant-based Mexican-inspired burrito is a great option when your fridge is nearly cleaned out. Fry up some bells peppers and add some spice or sour cream, or both! Just make sure to wrap it tight, no-one wants a collapsing burrito!
These veggie and tofu kebabs are super flavourful lunch that work well with a simple side salad, or a rice dish if you’re hungry. If you soak the tofu and marinade the vegetables and tofu in advance, all you need to do is grill the skewers and make the sauce. The soy, ginger and garlic marinade combined with the peanut butter sauce is enough to leave you licking your lips.
This quick Tex-Mex vegan recipe is so much more than a snack, it’s a great quick lunch made with Mexican bean, sweet potato goodness and salsa to spice up your lunchtime. With a generous spoon of guac, sour cream, and vegan cheese – we recommend Violife – lodged between your nachos, it’s a winner!
