Vegan BLAT (BLT with avocado)
Roasted shiitake mushrooms marinated in soy sauce with a dash of smoked paprika make a natural vegan alternative to bacon. Try it in a vegan version of a classic BLT with creamy avocado and eggless mayonnaise, or on top of a salad in place of bacon bits.
freshly baked falafel sandwich
This street style falafel sandwich is grassy, tangy and rich. The falafel gets crispy in the oven, but the vegetables inside remain simple and fresh. You can make the tahini sauce (see related recipe) in advance for easy preparation. Wrapping your sandwiches in foil makes them perfect for on-the-go lunches and helps keep them together when eating on the go.
vegetable and hummus sandwich
This hearty veggie and hummus sandwich is perfect for a heart-healthy vegetarian lunch. Pair it with different flavors of hummus and different types of vegetables depending on your mood.
peanut tofu cabbage wrap
In this healthy gluten-free lettuce wrap recipe, cabbage makes a delicious, low-calorie substitute for buns or bread. You don’t have to limit yourself to cabbage for this recipe. You can use any fresh greenery that is strong enough to wrap around 1/2 cup of the filling.
jackfruit sloppy joes
Fleshy jackfruit makes these vegan slug joes rich and filling. Jackfruit, a starchy tropical fruit with a slightly nutty sweetness, is a blank canvas for making warm, spicy sauces like this easy meatless sandwich.
best vegan burger
These nutty vegan burgers are held together by a combination of oats and flaxseed meal. Flaxseed expands when mixed with water, creating a nutritious binding agent similar to traditional eggs. Pan-frying will make the patty softer, so be careful when flipping it over. It will solidify again when it cools down. Serve with chips, zucchini fries, and your favorite vegan dipping sauce.
Roasted vegetable and hummus sandwich
Liven up your sandwich with an assortment of roasted vegetables. To increase your veggie intake throughout the week, roast a whole sheet pan in step 1 and add the cooked veggies to salads, sandwiches, pasta dishes, or serve as a side dish.
peanut butter and banana breakfast sandwich
Creamy peanut butter and banana are the key ingredients in this quick and easy breakfast.
Vegan pulled mushroom BBQ sandwich
This vegan sandwich has great barbecue flavor (even without the meat!) thanks to the earthy mushrooms that soak up the sweet and tangy barbecue sauce. Complete with coleslaw tossed with vegan mayonnaise.
Black bean and avocado torta
In this Mexican-style torta, a hollow roll is stuffed with spiced mashed black beans and guacamole for a satisfying vegetarian meal. Cabbage has a crunchy texture. Take this recipe to the next level (and add calcium) by melting Monterey Jack cheese on the bean side of the sandwich.
Seitan BBQ Sandwich
Enjoy the classic BBQ flavor made with hearty vegan seitan, or wheat meat. Sliced seitan takes time to brown and crisp in a hot skillet. Grill them for the best texture before coating them with a tangy ketchup mixture. Served with sweet potato chips, it’s perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
Edamame hummus wrap
This easy hummus recipe, which uses protein-rich edamame in place of chickpeas, is the perfect vegetarian filling for grab-and-go wraps. Or double the recipe and use the hummus with chopped veggies for a healthy snack.
