30 vegan packed lunch ideas

Perhaps you're a long term vegan, maybe you're trying out a plant-based diet for the first time or you just want to eat more veg this year. Whatever your circumstances it can be difficult to know what to take to work for lunch. These 30 delicious vegan packed lunch ideas will give you plenty of inspiration.

If you're struggling to know what to take for work for your vegan packed lunch you are not alone. It can be difficult to know what to take when your usual options are no longer available to you.

Love your leftovers

Leftovers are your friend when it comes to a packed lunch. Whatever you had for dinner, chances are you can save a portion to take into work the next day. If you have access to a fridge and microwave at work this will save you time and money and is something I definitely recommend. Alternatively consider investing in a Thermos to keep your food warm.

Soups will keep you healthy

Soups are also a great idea. If you make a big pot of your favourite soup at the weekend then your vegan packed lunches for the week are sorted. If you don't have a microwave you can heat it at home and take it to work in a Thermos flask.

Plenty of cold options too

However, sometimes a vegan lunch on the go needs to be cold. Because of this I've also included plenty of delicious salads, sandwiches and wraps for you to try.
