Rice Salad


A simple cold meal for a hot summer day: A salad with rice, cucumbers, tomatoes and macadamia nuts, little apple-coconut pancakes and grapes.

Soup and Pretzel

For this lunch I brought lentil soup and a pretzel. The most interesting thing was probably my midmorning snack - sweet quinoa cooked in orange juice with dried fruit and nuts.

Tofu on bread


Oops, another lunch with a sandwich. That was not what I had planned, I had made a bell pepper-tofu-filling that I usually use for pita bread, but there was none left, so toast it was.
I also brought a Mediterranean courgette roll, filled with dried tomates, an olive and an almond. Wasn't there a joke in an Asterix comic about the Romans eating a cow filled with pork filled with lamb filled with pheasant filled with hare filled with squab? Well, this would be the vegan version.
The smoothie that I brought as a snack (with grapes and kiwi, among other things) tasted a lot better than it looked.

Travel Provisions


I visited my family in Germany during the long weekend and could not get a direct flight, so I planned a lot of food for my morning on planes and airports.
I usually bring similar stuff, this time I had energy balls made of cocoa, dates and nuts, vegetarian pigs in a blanket, some cherry tomatoes and sandwich with a chickpea filling. Lots of proteins here!
I usually buy a bottle of water or a smoothie once I've passed the security check.

Rice and Salad


For this lunch I brought a spicy rice dish with TVP and peas.
As it seemed a bit pale, I added a colourful salad made of tomatoes, carrots and corn.
As a snack I prepared a sandwich with homemade potato spread and little skewers with grapes, walnuts, dates and smoked tofu.
Today everything was vegan.

Provisions for Traveling

These are the things that I brought along for my flight when I visited my parents for Christmas.
I made turnovers with an olive-tomato-filling (the rest of them are in the paper bag) and energy balls with hazelnuts, dates and cocoa. I also packed some macadamia nuts and bought a smoothy once I had passed the security check.
I hate flying, but at least knowing that I'll not be hungry on the plane because they either serve uninspired food (often with meat) or make you pay for your snacks is reassuring.
