40 Healthy Vegan Lunch Ideas

A little over a year ago, I posted 35 Healthy Vegetarian Lunch Ideas. Today, it remains one of my most popular posts. The fact that so many people are continually looking for vegetarian lunch ideas makes my heart happy – it means that more and more people are seeking to eat meatless meals. Yay!

Recently, I’ve been incredibly inspired by plant-based cooking. I’ve been discovering new flavour combinations and feeling energized and light. I feel as though my meals are more creative and flavourful than ever – especially lunch! Lunch is the perfect opportunity to sneak in some extra veggies in your diet. I find that sandwiches and salads are my go-to when it comes to lunch. I love a huge salad that eats like a meal! Since I know a lot of you are looking for plant-based lunch options, I thought I’d share some of my favourite lunch ideas from The Fig Tree, as well as some ideas from my favourite bloggers.

In other news, my husband and I are setting off on a European adventure on Wednesday! We are starting in Barcelona, Spain. Have any of you been to Barcelona? Any suggestions/recommendations on what to see and do while in Barcelona? Although there may not be a lot of recipe posts in the next little while, I will definitely update the blog with photos from our adventures and include some tidbits about the food we are eating in each country.

Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians! xo
