Save you a load of money too. And honestly, who how could you better spend your lunch break than having a bite of my Easy Vegan Taco Lasagna.
Lentil Chickpea Yellow Curry
Well, maybe this Lentil Chickpea Yellow Curry!It is vegan and gluten free and you can make it with just 6 ingredients in 2 easy steps.
I really recommend to make a big batch of this stunning curry a day or even two in advance. That’s when the flavors really start to come out. And especially when you have warmed it up for the second time, it will be super amazing.
You can eat this simply as a soup. If you need something a bit more substantial, try it with a side of rice, quinoa or with my favorite, Naan.
Eggplant Parmesan Zucchini Casserole
Like soups, casseroles are also perfect for a take-along work lunch. It’s so straightforward to make a big batch and it with you in daily portions. Quickly heated up, and you are ready to go.
This vegan and gluten free Eggplant Parmesan Zucchini Casserole is full of fresh vegetables. It is the perfect comfort food and who doesn’t need a bit of comfort during a break? With amazing flavors from only 6 ingredients, this easy recipe will become a staple in your kitchen, and surely is a must-have of my Easy Vegan Work Lunch Recipes.
Serve this plain on it’s own or with some bread. This is better than the classic, not only does it taste better, it’s also packed with some amazing benefits for you.

Mashed Cauliflower Green Bean Casserole
In fact this Mashed Cauliflower Green Bean Casserole was my first recipe with green beans. For a long time I justwasn’t really a friend of green beans. Until this recipe, when I found a way to combine these healthy vegetables with something super flavorful.
It is a satisfying and light meal, warming and fresh. While it also makes a great plant based appetizer, I suggest you eat it plain or with other veggies, lentil meatballs. Or whatever you are in the mood for.
This is again one of those casseroles whose flavors are really, really come out a notch better after having set for a day. Second warming up, and it is extra amazing.
Cauliflower Rice Buddha Bowl
My Cauliflower Rice Buddha Bowl is a low carb twist to traditional Buddha bowls. Made from just 6 ingredients, it comes with great flavor of Tandoori chickpeas, combined with fresh vegetables, and my amazing Roasted Garlic Tahini Sauce.
I really love to keep it easy. Bowls are so perfect for an easy work lunch. You take some things here and some things there, and we can already build our bowl. Sprinkle some sauce over it, done.
Can healthy eating be any easier? There is nothing complicated or time consuming here.
