I can’t get enough of this vegan Greek moussaka – it’s so delicious and filling I could have it for lunch or dinner every day! This amazing dish always gives me the comforting feeling of homey slow-food. The Mediterranean flavors and eggplant texture stay the same even if you reheat it and serve it for the next few days!

Vegan Paella

My vegan paella is an all-time lunch meal prep classic. I loaded it with my favorite type of mushrooms (Oyster, of course) and olives to give it a great, satisfying texture, plenty of veggies and a hint of nori in order to remind you of the seafood flavor of the authentic recipe. Give it a try!

Vegan Tuscan Soup / White Bean Soup

My take on this vegan soup brings a modern taste to the classic Italian dish, thanks to the exotic flavor and creaminess of coconut milk. A big bowl of this vegan Tuscan soup or white bean soup makes for a dream lunch. And because it’s so hearty, comforting and easy to make, I’m sure you will love it too!

Vegan Tortellini Soup

While I love a crunchy, refreshing salad, whenever I need a reassuring, home-cooked hot lunch, I go for this vegan tortellini soup. It’s so colorful, warming and full of greens, that you’ll fall in love with it instantly! I have no doubt that you will appreciate the smoky flavor of the vegan sausage!

Tofu Burrito Bowl Meal Prep

Ideal if you’re always rushing, this inexpensive, satisfying recipe for tofu burrito bowls takes 15 minutes to make from start to finish! It’s a great, kid-friendly recipe reminding of the fun of messy Mexican food, but loaded with good fats, protein and fiber. Top it with your favorite ingredients – avocado, onion, salsa – and you’re good to go!

Vegan Mason Jar Salad

These vegan mason jar salads are the ultimate idea for a lunch meal prep – so you won’t have an excuse for skipping a meal anymore! The ingredients are layered so pretty and the end result is so colorful! Plus, they come in tons of options (from a Crunchy Asian salad to a fruity kale one). It’s guaranteed you’ll find a favorite!

Vegetarian Cassoulet | Slow-Cooked White Bean Casserole

This vegetarian cassoulet is exactly what you need when mid-day fatigue starts setting in. It’s creamy thanks to the amazing beans, bursting with flavors and it reminds me of the hearty slow-cooked meals my grandma used to make! This vegetarian cassoulet is one of the best comforting lunches to help you power through a busy day!

Falafel Wrap

You may already know that I just can’t get enough of nutty, crispy, delicious falafels! Falafels reflect the Middle Eastern cuisine perfectly, one of my favorites, and they make for a very filling meal, perfect to pack for school or work, or even adapt into meal prep! Squeeze them into wraps with your favorite vegetables and lots of tahini – what’s not to love about this recipe?
