Plant-Based Lunches For The Whole Family

For parents, back-to-school means back to a routine of packing lunches for the whole family.Keeping both nutrition and picky-eaters in mind, Lightlife makes whipping up lunch a breeze. Ease back into your routine with these easy-to-prep, plant-based recipes that will have the whole family looking forward to lunch.

Sandwiches are an easy solution to the lunchtime woes, but condiments and extra add-ons can make them less than ideal for a nutritious meal. This year, skip the deli counter and opt for smart ingredients such as pesto, ripe tomatoes, romaine lettuce, fresh baguettes, and Smart Deli Meat and Smart Bacon to create a healthy club sandwich you'll savor all afternoon long.

Wraps are a great solution when in need of an easy, last minute lunch idea, but rolling whatever ingredient you have into the nearest tortilla doesn't guarantee a great taste – or nutrition. With a little forward thinking and Lightlife's new White Bean and Kale Veggie Deli Slices wrapped in spinach tortillas, alongside lettuce, tomato, avocado, and green sprouts, a weekday wrap won't only be a solution, but the meal you're craving all week.

If you ask most parents what they pack in their kids' lunchboxes, their answer will typically start with a sad sigh. However, a hearty take on the classic BLT made with Smart Bacon, Smart Deli Turkey, tomatoes, and loads of other veggies is bound to eliminate lunchbox woes and satisfy all picky eaters. For a parent friendly upgrade, try adding avocado salsa!

Lunchtime gets a bad rap for the most boring meal of the day, but it doesn't have to be. Spice up your humdrum lunch break with the exotic Mediterranean flavors of a tempeh tapenade wrap. Simply whip up a flavorful olive tapenade and wrap around Organic Soy Tempeh and other mouthwatering veggies for a lunch that will have you saying, Opa!
