Easy Vegan Lunch: Sandwich Ideas!

If you follow me on Instagram you probably know that for the past few months I’ve been all about making easy vegan sandwiches for lunch.

I usually whip up sandwiches using whatever happens to be in my refrigerator and today I wanted to share some of my favorite combinations.

The Bread

• Spelt bread (low gluten, but not gluten-free)- homemade or from Bread Alone.
• Gluten-Free Brown Rice Bread– I keep a stash in my freezer.
• Gluten-Free Millet and Flax Bread from Sami’s Bakery– I’ve only found this brand at a few health stores but it’s by far the least “gluten-free tasting” gf bread out there!

The Spread

• Hummus- homemade or store-bought
• Mustard (dijon is my favorite)
• Tahini
• Cashew Cheese
• Vegan Mayo– Ross can’t live without it on his sandwiches.

The Protein

• Grilled tempeh- simply marinate in tamari and lightly fry on each side. You can make a big batch to store in the fridge for a few days worth of sandwiches.
• Baked tofu- I’ll often have leftover baked tofu in the fridge from dinner.
• Chickpea or Tempeh Tuna Salad

The Veggies

• Avocado- avo slices are priority #1 in my sandwich in everything.
• Sauerkraut- another big MUST for me!
• Leftover salad- my go-to quick salad is kale marinated in olive oil, tahini and tamari. I’ll often have leftovers in the fridge and they make the perfect sandwich addition.
• Fresh or sautéed greens- lightly wilt chard, spinach or kale before adding it to your sandwich. This takes just a minute and adds an amazing texture.

The Vegan Cheese

• Chao slices- I love how melty this cheese gets. The coconut herb flavor is my current favorite.
• Daiya slices- cheddar or provolone-you can’t go wrong.

What’s your favorite sandwich combo?
