portable meals/ snacks?

[Lilla]

This week I decided to go vegan..I have been mostly lacto vegetarien for about 15 years. I only had eggs on a few occassions, and then it was mostly when eggs was "in stuff" such as cake.

I would like to get some ideas on portable vegan meals that I can bring to school. I want something that holds up well and it nutrisious and filling. I useally am a "starvin' marvin" after school and end up getting junk food, not ideal i know.

I don't want to be a potato chip vegan!

Hello and congrats

Pasta dishes work quite well I've found, as does raw veg chopped up to snack on - of course fruit and nuts too.

salad with chick peas, tofu, olives, avocado, tomatoes, flaxseed oil!

Good work on making the change if it's easy lunch sandwich type thing ... houmous, tomato & spinach leaf sandwich .... with a splash of caremilsed onion chutney.. nomnomnom

What, no-one's plugged the classic peanut butter sammich?!

Spacebars, Viana Picknickers or Mild Jumbos, Clif Builders & Bars, Raw Bites...

there are tons and tons of good protein sources that can be kept in a bag for days and they will stay fresh.

oatcakes
or
mixed nuts
or
if you want to be hardcore carry around some protein powder and a spoon. Mix with juice or water if you are super hardcore/have no tastebuds

all of these i like as you can grab them running out the door

Depends what your going for savory or sweet. You can replicate most non-vegan snacks with vegan.

Heres some of what i carry around with me.

Sweet:
Fruit
Dried Fruit such as raw goji or incan berries.
Wholefood vegan/raw energy bars such as vega(easy source of calories and rich in protein 10g if i remember). There are quite a few brands such as clif builder bars etc.
Often make my own sweet treats but using wholefoods when possible such as date balls(lol) etc.

Savory:
Raw Flax Crackers
Wraps with various fillings such as beans, hummus etc
Nuts
If your including small meals then various meals i can eat cold such as quiona/rice salads with beans etc.
