How have you survived to date without starving?
Sandwich: PB&J or cheese, tofu or hummus. Tofu. Crudite. Crackers/chips. Fruit. |

My vegetarian son (11) takes the same thing to lunch every day:
Chobani yogurt drink cheese stick grapes cheez-its fruit snacks I put an applesauce in there in case he is still hungry He did almond butter/jelly sandwiches for a while (allergy to peanuts) We did cheese/tomato/cucumber sandwiches for a while. He doesn't like hummus, but a hummus sandwich would work. |

What is wrong with you? And since you’re such a smart@$$ let me point out that PB&J is a ridiculously stupid suggestion for school lunch these days, since so many schools forbid peanuts (even middle and high schools). |

Have you tried the smoky Tempeh, tomato, lettuce, and avocado sandwich at Whole Foods? It's amazing. You could do a spin off that. As others have said: -cheese/crackers -hummus/pita -fruit or veggies cut up -Caprese salad |

As a vegetarian adult who takes lunch to work...
salads based with quinoa, wheatberry, lentils, rice, and/or pasta. Easy to make a big batch for daily servings, have crunch and savory, carbs/protein/veggies. |

Really? Ms and hs? Maybe some elementary schools have peanut free tables but most publics don’t ban peanut butter. |

| There are a lot of yummy spreads available at MOMs and whole foods - similar to hummus but more varieties (lentils etc.). My daughter loved to use these spreads on sandwiches and wraps as a base with greens (spinach/romaine) and other veggies like tomatoes/cucumbers. Also, two hard boiled eggs either alone or as part of a sandwich are filling and lots of good protein. |

I love hummus and cheese sandwiches. Pick your condiment and your bread.
