I'm trying to eat meat free and curious what fellow non-meat eaters are having... Especially for lunch I find it hard to think of what to have that's quick easy and not tomatoes, cucumber or carrots

    Easy- leftovers from last night's plant based dinner. Make extra portions of dinner and you'll never have to eat out for lunch.

    There are plenty of foods that aren't meat and aren't salad veggies. All the other vegetables, all the fruits, all the dairy. Yogurt, nuts, nut butter (peanut butter, cashew butter...), cheese, sweet potatoes, beans and lentils, squash, tofu, avocado. Vegetable soup, chili, hummus, veggie burgers. Rice, potatoes, barley, oats, corn. Vegetable pho. <--- yummm! Eggs - hard boiled, poached, fried, omelettes, frittata. Pasta - veggie lasagna, cheese ravioli, pasta primavera, with alfredo sauce, with red sauce. Pizza. Okay, now I'm hungry!

    Go to fannetasticfood dot com sweet-potato-lentil-coconut-curry

    This stuff is seriously awesome! I had it a couple times this week, filling and still lost weight, no problem.

    I like to have a salad with a boiled egg.

    Beans and a tortilla or tofu and veggies.

    Soy "chik" parties are good.

    Peanut butter/honey/bananna sandwhich and a yogurt.

    I love yogurt and granola for lunch, easy & good. Coconut milk yogurt if your dairy free like me. Or making meat free soup & reheating it if you have microwave access, there are some amazing vegan soup recipes out there. My favorite is split pea & my carnivorous husband even loves it & doesn't miss the ham : )
    Or make homemade burritos then freeze them and reheat, bean & cheese, bean & meat free crumbles/boca patty

    Also a good easy lunch, tofu hot dog! & potatoe salad or coleslaw, baked beans, one of my favorite summer lunches!
    & this may sound weird but it's delicious, an avocado sandwich.
    Good fresh sourdough bread
    Mayo (or veganise)
    Mustard
    Sprouts/lettuce
    And half and avocado sliced in place of meat sprinkled with salt and pepper
