or
*apple


Lunch:
*Any one of the meals I have made on this blog. (Hello leftovers. :) )
or
*veggie sandwich or tofurky wrap
or
*veggie salad with edamame and/or black beans and balsamic vinegar
or
*vegan soup (black bean, lentil, veggie, etc..)

....I could seriously go on forever but I'm going to stop now!!



If I wanted to...I COULD also eat:

*Potato chips
*oreos
*soy or coconut milk ice cream
*chocolate chip teddy grahams (yes, they are vegan!!!)
*most pretzels
*most of the "Back to Nature" cookies
*popcorn
*bagel (a lot of bagels and breads are actually vegan)
*tortilla chips and salsa or guacamole.


When I'm out to eat I will be honest and say it CAN get tricky, but I can find something vegan at pretty much EVERY restaurant. There might not be many options, but the options they do have are usually a lot healthier than if you were eating something non-vegan.

*Jason's Deli: Salad bar or veggie sandwich without cheese and vegetarian soups without cheese

*Moes or Tijuana Flats: veggie burrito with rice, beans, veggies, and tofu (if available). OR veggie salad

*Outback Steakhouse: Veggie Trio without butter (I usually pick two of the veggies and a plain
baked potato) AND I get a side salad with their tangy tomato dressing. YUM.

*Ruby Tuesday: Veggie trio without butter and their salad bar.

*Subway and/or Obees: Salad or Sub on white bread with veggies and mustard

*Panera Bread: Vegetarian Sandwich without cheese and a salad or black bean soup.
