Easy Plant-based lunch ideas Your Family Will Love
Today I am sharing my top plant-based lunch ideas including vegan lunch ideas.
I often get asked for ideas on what to eat for lunch, especially for vegan/plant-based meals. I am pretty lucky that I work from home, and so does my husband, so most days we get to eat lunch at home.
But I also try not to cook much for lunch (I have enough dishes making other recipes!)

Lunch is often leftovers or a salad or what I make for the kids I serve myself the same bowl. So, these quick, easy plant-based lunch ideas will inspire you to make something healthy this afternoon!
When it comes to easy vegan lunch meals, I always try to make lunches that are nutritious and balanced. Each dish should have a source of protein/ carbs and fat as well as a few servings of veggies.
In my house, we usually have lunch quite early – especially for a French person! We eat lunch at 11am everyday. Also, we eat our lunch as a family as much as we can.
I vary between cold and warm lunches, and I am guilty of never being able to eat the same thing every day.
Some people can meal prep and eat the same lunch for 5 days but I am not like that! We also sometimes have leftovers for lunch which is very practical as a busy mom.
Here are some of my favorite plant-based lunch ideas you can try!
1. Chickpea Vegan Tuna Cornichons Sandwich
2. Homemade Sushi Rolls
3. BBQ Jackfruit Burgers
4. Tofu Satay Bowl
5. Kale Salad With A Peanut Dressing
