What did you have for Lunch today...Veggie Style

Hey guys...sure this is been done already but just needed some lunch ideas so I thought this might be fun...

 Today I had a Brown Rice Salad (courtesy of Vegetariangeek...thank you it was yummy!), Brown rice, black beans, corn, spring onions, some ff italian dressing and tabasco (love spicy)

 How about you???

I had roasted veggie cous cous with some feta cheese.

Vegetarian rice, black beans, corn, jalipenos, pico de gallo and a salad with balsamic vinegar.

I had spicy refried beans wrapped in Romaine Lettuce with onions and salsa. I also had some toast with some Smart Balance Light. lol my lunches are usually pretty disjointed. :D

a half of whole wheat pita stuffed with raw veggies, fruit, toasted pumpkin seeds and salad dressing, steamed brocolli, a couple slices of pickle and few black olives.

I had a peanut-tofu stew over some Tricolor WW fusilli.

I have way more than three meals a day usually but my last one was a few soaked almonds, a fig and a couple dried apricots and then half of a grapefruit and a bunch of cherries.  Next I will have some dehydrated sprouted grain crackers with hummus, avocado, tomatoes and sprouts. 

A big waldorf salad, mmm. Apples, grapes, celery, and dried cranberries in lemon-y yogurt.

I made some whole grain pasta and mixed with sweet corn, peas and some black olives with some fat free thousand island dressing.

I had...broccoli, green peas, half of a honeycrisp apple, green beans, organic kidney beans, baby tomatoes, nonfat plain yogurt, and a homemade veggie burger. Yummm, one of my favorite lunches of all.

I went out to lunch today - had a "Farmer's Market" sandwich which is avocado, mushrooms, grated carrots, alfalfa sprouts, romaine and sunflower seeds on whole grain bread with a spicy mustard.  Went I got back I had an apple for dessert. 

Lunch was just a typical veggie chili with black beans and tomatoes. But dinner was more interesting - a lentil and pumpkin curry. It had lentils, canned pumpkin, tomatoes, onion, garlic, and garam marsala. It was a very different taste, but very delicious. Not to mention it had tons of iron!

just a baked potato and an apple. i don't ever feel like making anything too fancy or complicated for lunch.

I had my usual veggies - broccoli, green peas, green beans, kidney beans, tomatoes, half of an apple, and then I also had an Amy's All-American organic veggie burger, a whole-grain pita pocket, and some 0% Greek Yogurt.

I had some gazpacho and a garden salad with ginger lime dresssing...with some guacamole and baked plaintain chips. MMMM! Different :)

wow i now have sooo many new ideas from you all...

 today will be my veggie  sandwich, whole wheat bread (i'm so excited that we found frozen British bread here in FL), pepperjack cheese, romaine, cucumbers, onions and chili sauce

and some lentil soup

Yummy!

I love muesli- but not for breakfast...

so lunch today was  muesli with non-fat yoghurt and fruit chopped in to it. As well as raw veggie sticks.

I make my muesli myself
3 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup each: sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, raisins, dried cranberries
1 cup dried apricots, chopped
1 cup mixed nuts, chopped(this batch I used 1/3 cup macadamia, 1/3 cashew, 1/3 almonds)

 this is my base recipe... I store it in a glass airtight container. And add bits and bobs depending on my mood... like a tbs wheatgerm or bran... millet... pumpkin seeds... dried apples or cherries

Its really had for me to eat lunch because usually i am at work so i usually just take some soy yogurt and 2 clementines.... i know its very boring but i only get 30 minutes and with having to get up at 4 in the morning its hard for me to make anything so i'm more of a grab and go type of girl!

Hey Kate...do you ever eat frozen meals?  theres some good veggie ones out there that you could just grab and go with.

Hey Kate... I have to leave early too... and have 45 min lunch break... so I usually prepare something the night before...

here are some suggestions:

• cook a bit extra to take
  rice, pasta, veggies, ratatouille, grain or bean stew... they all keep really well and can be heated quickly and easily... there are masses of possibilities
• make a veggie soup and take it in a flask-
  ok- you have to heat it in the morning... but that's quick and it'll keep hot until lunchtime
• prepare a lunchbox
  with chopped veggies, dry wasa crackers  and make some kind of dip (humus, cottage cheese, tomato salsa, yoghurt dip...) can all be done the night before
• muesli
  easy to pack...

I'm totally in love with this Tofu chili recipe from Whole Foods. I make a big pot on sunday (it only takes about 20 minutes to make) and eat throughout the week.  Healthy, yummy, cheap and easy!
