Breakfast and lunch plan for young vegetarians? ?

Question

My sister and I are young vegetarians (she is 14, I'm 16) and this is the first year she'll be at school as a vegetarian. At her last school, all she ate was Miguel's Jr! I want to make our breakfast and lunch this year at least four days a week (breakfast five days).

I need some suggestions for as many recipes as possible. Complicated recipes are no problem (I'm a pretty good cook), but I need them (especially breakfast) to be quick to make (5, 10 minutes tops), very nutritious, and tasty to my picky sister! My main concern is getting all the things a vegetarian diet usual leaves out.

Answer 1

We love a  huge breakfast smoothie at our house - you can be drinking it and getting ready, finishing homework, goofing off...

frozen banana

frozen blueberries

soymilk

peanut butter

and we usually throw in a raw veggie (carrot or tomato or a little spinach)

Use any frozen fruits you like, but you do need a good blender

Happy vegging  :)   Thanks for saving yourselves, saving the planet, saving money, saving the animals, saving resources for all of those who don't even know what you are doing.

Answer 2

sorry, i eat a sandwich every day, I'm not that creative

Answer 3

I'm vegan but I usually have...

Breakfast:

☺Kashi or Multigrain Cheerios cereal with soy milk and a piece of fruit.

☺Luna Bar (when I'm in a hurry)

☺Smoothie (soy milk, mixed berries, banana, and a little peanut butter or almond butter. Mmmm)

☺Rolled oats (oatmeal) with a glass of soy milk and fruit.

Lunch:

☺Peanut butter and banana (I like bananas) sandwich with an apple and whole grain crackers.

☺Spinach salad with other vegetables, an apple, fruit leather, and a handful of almonds.

☺Hommus sandwich (try it!) with carrots, celery, a square or two of dark chocolate, and some raisins.

I'm a health nut too, so I hope this is what you were looking for. Here's a really good site I found that might help too :)

Answer 4

Cereal with Soy Milk is very good and nutritious,  Served with orange juice and perhaps toast and jelly.   Lunch ideas could consist of a lettuce and tomato sandwich with mayonnaise.  An apple and some corn nuts or baby carrots.

Answer 5

Baked beans on toast Plus fruit juice

Vegemite on toast plus fruit juice

scrambled egg on toast plus fruit juice

Grilled mushrooms on toast plus fruit juice

pancakes with fruit and maple syrup.

banana sandwiches

Cheesey scrambled egg (just add grated cheese to egg)

Cereal with milk and fruit sliced on top

Chopped microwaved tomatoes with vegetarian sausages.

mix grated cheese, butter and tomato ketchup to a paste - spread thickly on toast and grill till browning on top.

Answer 6

I am not a salad person, so I make lots of fruit salads for sides. It's pretty quick, and if you make a really big one it should last you a few days...

Answer 7

smoothies:

berries, soy yogurt, vanilla hemp milk, acai. . .

Answer 8

wow good for you! im vegetarian and its not that hard to get all you need.

for breakfast, i focus on the grains. get whole grain bagels, bread, smart butter (its a brand and really healthy-it has omega fatty acids), have a banana or apple. and maybe a glass of milk. or blueberries in your cereal. cereal: kashi crunch (lots protein and fiber) or even oatmeal (but i personally am not a big fan) anyways,

lunch! pita bread w/salad inside. salad can have lettuce, tomato, chick peas if you like them, Fresh cheese, whatever u like! good time for veggies

or pita bread w/hummus.

anyways, being a vegetarian i think its actually easier getting the veggies, fruit and even grains/dairy your body requires.

and for a snack, you can try yogurt w/ fruit or a little bit of cereal mixed in.

remember, the key is variety. as much variety as possible in each meal.

good luck:)

you should also try going to a nutritionist. they're really helpful!

Answer 9

I may have one recipe for breakfast--I use it everyday. :]

It's really simple.

Breakfast Smoothie:

1 cup of unsweetened almond milk or rice milk. (There's alot of controversy on how healthy soy is--so I don't use soy milk.. and personally I don't use regular or skim milk because it's filled with all kind of nasty anitbiotics--unless it's raw milk.)

1 Banana

1-2 Tsp. of Raw Almond Butter

1/2 Tsp. of Cinnamon

and it depends on your personal taste on how much ice you want to use.

Put it all in a blender and basically there's your breakfast smoothie.

Though, I use all organic ingredients.

Hope this easy recipe at least gives you some kind of an idea~
