I love to make a veggie sandwich with a heavy whole grain bread, a big slab of hummus, avocado, sliced cucumbers, sprouts and a sprinkle of Goya Adobo seasoning. I put Adobo on everything because I love a ton of flavor and that seasoning just makes everything even that much better. I also really like the Tofurkey lunch meat and they have some great flavors. Sometimes I will make a wrap with it and the pepperjack veggie slices cheese. It is better than those icky old meat sandwiches. Enjoy!!

Hummus is orgasmic! (if you haven't had it try it!) You have it with bread, Meba toast, Pita bread, pretzels etc.... quick lunch or snack Annie Chuun is good, not all are veg but it'll tell you on the box if is or not. classic veggie soup (but get the vegetarian veggie soup, sounds weird but some soupd use beef stock so avoid those) (On a personal note try to avoid tofurky i know some have raved about it but it you're like me (VERY picky) you won't like them.) And of course the obvious veggie burger or a rice cake (the morning star cakes) veggie hot dogs taste a lot like regular hot dogs (i HATE hots dogs so i hate those too lol) but if you liked hot dogs then try those. PB&J is also good, Everyone loves PB&J Tofu is a super food make it with anything and you're golden! Good luck ^^ Roasted veggies are good.

There are actually several brands that make them. At my grocery store, they're not with the regular lunch meats, but near the tofu. I also really like making a sandwich of avocado, tomato, lettuce, and red onion.<br><b>References : </b><br> St Yves makes many luncheon "meats"- I like the roasted turkey, but there’s also ham and bologna flavors.

But what I did during the school year (seeing as I had like NO money), I bought avocados, and I spread them on my sandwich to replace the meat (they're VERY high in protein, too!) You can also pack pita with hummus- another great alternative, plus it's tasty! My favorite thing to pack this year was a wheat pita with hummus, a baggie full of baby tomatoes, bell pepper, and carrots, a baggie full of berries, a cookie, nuts, and sometimes a spinach salad (I eat a lot). But yeah! And good for you for going veg! :D<br><b>References : </b><br> You could buy Tofurky lunch slices, and to replace ham, buy some veggie bacon (I call it fakin’ lol).

If you have access to an oven, you can roast vegetables and make enough for 3 days...cut large slices of zucchini, eggplant, peppers, about 1/4" thick and whole portobello mushroom caps and toss in a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread them on a cookie sheet and roast at 350 until they start to brown and soften. Then, after they cool, wrap them in foil and refrigerate until you're ready to make a sandwich with them. You can add some goat cheese or smoked mozzarella, balsamic vinegar and olive oil and it's a fantastic sandwich. You can also shred vegetables and make a vegetable salad with mayo and make a sandwich the same way you would make a tuna sandwich. But my favourite is my own invention but you have to know something about cooking. Take some firm tofu and slice into 1/4" thick slices. Toss the slices in cornstarch seasoned with salt and pepper (szechuan pepper if you can get it) garlic powder and cayenne powder. Then fry them until super crispy. Load them onto a hero roll and top with cilantro, bean sprouts, shredded carrot and any other vegetable you like and drizzle with hoisin sauce (you can find it in the asian section of most supermarkets).<br><b>References : </b><br> I get the veggie special at Subway all the time and it’s easy to make at home, baby spinach, cucumbers, tomato, peppers, shredded carrots, lettuce (cheese – optional) top with your favorite salad dressing and you’re good to go.
