One Week of Vegan Lunches - MONDAY through FRIDAY LUNCH IDEAS

[@kennadickinson]

I've been slowly transitioning to veganism over the last year or so. It's been a slow process because of disordered eating. Your videos have always been the most helpful for me to feel inspired. When I start to get bored with the plants I'm eating, I visit your channel, and I immediately have weeks worth of ideas. Thank you so much for your work!

[@NikkiVegan]

Hey! I’m so happy to hear that my videos have been helpful for you ☺️ definitely take it slow and do what’s best for your recovery 💚💚 What kinds of meals have you been making/loving recently?

[@phoriaeu]

I'm not vegan but I eat a very plant heavy diet. You make veganism so approachable and your meal ideas + recipes are always so creative! Love your work!

[@samanthab5006]

My husband and I usually eat leftovers for lunch. When we don't have any I'm completely lost. Thank you so much these all look great!

[@NikkiVegan]

haha same with me, all the time! lol Glad this gave you some good ideas 😊

[@aliciamichela8527]

Liked before I even watched because I know I'm going to love it ❤️🌱

[@simrankaur_96]

I literally always do this on Nikki's videos too 😂

[@NikkiVegan]

Aw thank you so much! That's so nice 🥰😊

[@NikkiVegan]

Thank you!!

[@louisemaria6461]

Same here 🥰

[@AdinaHappy]

Same 😁😁

[@deyanirap2008]

I can see how much work you put into your videos and how much you seem to care that others learn that it’s so easy and yummy to be vegan. Keep it up girl.

[@NikkiVegan]

Aw thank you for noticing! I care so much and I really do put a lot into my videos so this comment was so nice to read 💚💚💚 thank you for brightening my day ☺️☀️

[@wishforinfinity]

Finally someone acknowledges there's a "right" side to put toast toppings on! Similarly, I think there's a certain side of the bread that's supposed to be the "inside" of a sandwich.

[@NikkiVegan]

haha SAME! 🥖🥖🥖 This comment made me happy lol 😊 Hope you have a great rest of your Sunday!

[@wishforinfinity]

@@NikkiVegan you as well! 😊

[@oliviajoyy_96]

Every time I watch your videos I find something I can make right then and there because I have most of the ingredients already in my pantry- you’re creative so I don’t have to be and I’m so thankful for that😂😂❤️❤️

[@unitedstatesofadam]

was watching this on my lunch break and my other coworkers huddled around to watch with me because it all looked so good lolol

[@NikkiVegan]

lol I LOVE that! Hiiii Adam's coworkers! 👋😊

[@rawglowkristina]

Love all of these ideas. All of the food looks so good. I really admire your creativity and decadence with each meal. I also have to tell you that you are absolutely gorgeous, both your personality and in a physical sense.

[@kathleenswenning9915]

Hi Nikki !!!! It's great to see your beautiful self!!!!! These recipes look delish, I especially like the nut butter idea with the hemp seeds and sunflower seeds with the waffles, fruit and dipping it in the maple syrup (great pro tip😋)oh yeah!!!! All of your lunch ideas were great, so many ways to do the TikToK ones and the avocado smash looked amazing too, I think I'm going to try it with a soft white bean, so many options, thank you as always Nikki💞

[@ruthruiz1469]

Love all the lunch ideas, can’t wait to try them...they look delicious

[@NikkiVegan]

Thank you Ruth! I'm so glad you liked this video! 😊😊 Hope you have a great rest of your Sunday!

[@sarahwells6402]

Love the idea about adding nuts and seeds to the nut butter!

[@NikkiVegan]

Thanks Sarah! It's such a great way to add some nice texture and lots of extra nutrients 😊😊

[@prakritimahajan88]

I really like how when you give options you put the photos of it up. That helps!

[@sarahwarner8431]

Yes, I agree! Thanks 👍

[@jennifers2555]

Such great ideas! As I'm watching this I'm literally in my kitchen with the intention of making one of those folded tortilla sandwiches and I wasn't sure what I was gong to use on all the quadrants so your idea of spinach was very helpful! The tips sprinkled throughout your videos are always awesome so thanks for that!

[@jrg6284]

Thank you for all these lovely mea ideas!!! Can’t wait to try them out!

[@tammymasson2343]

So many great tips! I love the dipping tip at the end! You described so many of my private food thoughts! Like the shape of the toast, lol! I always do that too! I've made your pickled red onion, and it's awesome! Thanks for another great food video, keep them coming! 😋💜👍

[@starryari6282]

Great video as always. Love your ideas. xoxo

[@khoauhleexiong6711]

Great recipe ideas! I think these are all great for when traveling/camping too. Thank you for sharing.

[@NikkiVegan]

You’re so right! I hadn’t thought of that! I hope you enjoy these recipes ☺️☺️❤️❤️

[@23Bentley45]

I love all your recipes!

[@patriciasimmon6854]

Thanks Nikki. I’m still fairly new vegan( under 2 years). Your videos really help me stay on track!

[@arield954]

I LOVE when you make these lunch videos!!!

[@NikkiVegan]

That’s good to know! Thanks for the feedback! So helpful 💚💚

[@KellyC12070]

Love your videos and meal ideas!! I throw 2 bags of Gardein meatballs in a crockpot with sauce, garlic, peppers and onions. There are so many ways to eat: with pasta, as a sandwich, freeze to eat later, etc...

[@julietmarlowe5661]

That's so true Lunch is forgotten by me too. I love meal prep & will certainly be trying the avocado/chickpea combo & potato nacho dish. Also you looked so pretty in that red jumper, those glasses & your hair & make-up. Thank you so much for all the effort you put in to your videos. You deserve so many more subscribers.💌

[@NikkiVegan]

Aw thank you Juliet!! That's so nice 😊😊 Hopefully one day! I love making these videos so much so just trying to get more people to see them! lol I hope you enjoy the chickpea avocado mash. It's so good and it's easy to change up the spices...the other day I made a sushi bowl and added sesame oil, nori, and soy sauce to the avocado + chickpea mash instead of the normal ingredients. So delicious with rice, salad, and cucumbers!

[@aimeelaymance4196]

I'm so glad that you showed how you prepped your potatoes. I've been wanting to make potato chips from scratch , but this is a whole meal...Thank You!

[@NikkiVegan]

Glad to know you liked that part! Homemade chips are the best! How do you like to make them?

[@aimeelaymance4196]

Thin sliced and I use my air fryer...I like how you used the oven though. It seems like you can control the texture alot easier. I really crave salt and vinegar flavor, so I'm anxious to try in the oven.

[@KfolksMs]

Seed and nut spread-genius!!

[@NikkiVegan]

Thanks! I've seen store-bought versions that are similar but I realized it so much cheaper to make your own and so easy! Takes less than a minute to mix together and it's meal prep friendly so I often make enough for the week 😊😊 Hope you enjoy Katy!

[@sunflowervibes7230]

these lunch ideas all look so good! Can’t wait to try them. I love how much information you give in your videos and that you put so much effort into them! I enjoy every single video of yours🥰

[@NikkiVegan]

Aw thank you so much for noticing! I spend a ton of time editing so it means a lot that you noticed 😊😊

[@veganbookworm5306]

I want all of these for lunch 😍

[@Shanappers]

yum these look so good!

[@DrBear-rk4qb]

Those all look delicious! 😍 Thanks for sharing these easy lunch ideas (or tbh dinner if I'm tired from working all day).

Hi Nikki! How long and at what temperature do you cook the nacho potatoes for? Thanks!

[@cherhonda]

Great Suggestions, I'm looking forward to trying👌

[@NikkiVegan]

Thank you!! Let me know which one you try first 😊😊

[@jess.summers]

The waffle dipping trick is so helpful!!

[@NikkiVegan]

I’m so glad! Makes each bite 👌 ☺️

[@LaurenVacula]

I'm making vegan mac and cheese today! I make a cheese sauce with potatoes and nutritionally yeast and then slather it on lentil pasta 😀

[@NikkiVegan]

Yummm! I hope you enjoy it! Perfect cozy Sunday meal 😋

[@karo7002]

That wrap looks fantastic! I need to try this😍

[@NikkiVegan]

Thank you! It's so delicious! Something about a toasted tortilla is just SO good! Hope you enjoy!

[@TaraIncognita]

Love your meal ideas. Please do a week of lunches for people who have to go to work and maybe have just a fridge and microwave. I would really find it helpful.

[@lyndajane9870]

Great ideas, I keep looking at the vans waffles now i know I need to buy them!

[@NikkiVegan]

So delicious! Always have these on hand for easy meals or a sweet teat 😊 Hope you enjoy them!

[@Star-333]

Where’d you get your kettle/brand? :)

[@jenniferlynn0xo]

Love these ideas! Can’t wait to try them :)

[@NikkiVegan]

Thanks Jennifer!! Excited to hear which one you try first! 😊😊 Happy Sunday

[@kathleenzanders4061]

Nikki-love your hair with soft waves, it's so pretty on you.😊 Awesome and quick foods that are healthy and won't take alot of time when you're hangry😩. Impressed with the pasta hack and have been using it.👍💞

[@NikkiVegan]

Thank you Kathleen! And I love this pasta hack too! Makes it so much easier for me to wrap my mind around making pasta when I know I can do it less than 10 minutes 😊😊

[@natashalapierre4109]

What kind of vegan saussages you take for your mac & cheese?

[@NikkiVegan]

Hey Natasha 😊 These were from Field Roast but I also love the Impossible Sausage and the ones from Meatless Farms

[@healthynutritionknowledge]

I love Van’s waffles! 😋

[@lizzbrock2672]

Great Ideas!! Thank you!

[@NikkiVegan]

Thank you Lizz 😊😊

[@charlenewagoner9523]

Everything looked so good!! Thank you!

[@NikkiVegan]

Thanks Charlene! 😊😊 My pleasure!

[@MrNioMoon]

That avocado toast is genius!

[@NikkiVegan]

Thank you! I made a high protein guacamole video a few years ago where I mashed white beans into homemade guacamole to bulk up the protein and fiber so that was my inspiration for this. I make this a lot and change up the spices...recently did a sushi bowl version with sesame oil, nori, and soy sauce. So good! Hope you enjoy 😊 Happy Sunday!

[@MrNioMoon]

@@NikkiVegan Any recipe that helps add the daily recommended measurement of seaweed i'm all in!

[@casawinner2721]

this video makes veganuary even easier. thank you :)

[@NikkiVegan]

I'm so glad to hear that!! How's veganuary going so far?

[@casawinner2721]

@@NikkiVegan It's easy and delicious so far. Every week one of the german supermarkets had a veganuary special, so lots of products to try. But now I'm trying to focus more on wholesome meal with lots of vegetables. Like your channel a lot, because everything seems so easy to recreate. :)

[@bibasegan758]

Great, many thanks 🤗

If you talk to the people at Thrive, ask them to start shipping to Alaska please. Every time I check, they say they are working on it but it’s been awhile. As for your lunch recipes, I seriously want to make them all! ☺️

[@NikkiVegan]

Good to know! I’ll see what I can find out ☺️☺️ thanks for letting me know!

[@nicolek535]

Are those vans waffles at whole foods? I had no idea I could find frozen vegan waffles anywhere... 😍

[@inaleighjohnson2813]

I have gotten different vegan brand at whole foods! I can't remember lol

[@nicolmacinnis2855]

The 'bacon' in the BLT wrap, did you make that yourself or buy it?

[@NikkiVegan]

Bought it! I usually like to use tempeh bacon but this one is by Sweet Earth 😊

Really like this channel, especially you!

Aw thank you! So kind 😊

[@shireenriazikermani1894]

Good morning from Brooklyn! 🗽 Commenting in the middle of watching you showing yourself working at your laptop 👩‍💻 because I can’t believe you don’t use an external mouse 🐭 😂 Have to try the chickpeas mashed in with my avocado 🥑 Yes, I’m one of the people who doesn’t like bean texture 🤦🏻‍♀️ I just rinsed some canned chickpeas this morning to roast for snacking because I can deal with them that way too. And if you haven’t yet, you have to try Modern Table’s boxed vegan Mac and cheese (the yellow cheddar version is the best). It’s really good and the paste is protein-packed too. Highly recommend. Except don’t try the spicy flavor they offer. Just trust me 😂

[@flow4458]

I've never used an external mouse and when my brother saw that he gave me one for my birthday with the words "try it one day. Trust me." and it honestly changed my life😂😂.

[@shireenriazikermani1894]

@@flow4458 It truly does!!

[@NikkiVegan]

Hey! I used to live in Brooklyn! I miss it so much! Hope you're having a good weekend there 😊 I haven't used an external mouse before but I've thought about giving it a try. Good to know you like using one! I also haven't tried the Modern Table mac and cheese yet (I don't think) so I'll keep a look out for it. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@hellohansol]

I’ll definitely try that tiktok wrap!😍

[@NikkiVegan]

It's so fun! I hope you enjoy it! Let me know what you think when you try it 😊😊

[@LinetteArroyo]

I would eat every single one of these. Thanks for the tortilla fold hack in the beginning too. 😌

[@jamiecee4960]

That Tortilla pocket looks so much easier to fold then a normal burrito. lol. I will have to try that. Mac and cheese woould be for one here..😁🙂 I almost got those daiya mac and cheese. Still think I might. 🙂 All the meals looked pretty good. I want Micro greens. They look so good. 🙂 I love sunflower seeds.

[@NikkiVegan]

Thanks Jamie! I love sunflower seeds too! I think they're so underrated! Glad you're a fan too 😊😊 I like the Daiya mac for easy meals like this, otherwise I like to make my own. I also make mac and cheese with the Honest Stand cheeses or Trader Joe's Cashew Queso Sauce, the trick for me is to add in veggies, a vegan protein, and some extra salt and pepper for flavor. Chao also has some good ready made options! Hope that's helpful!

[@mariavictoriaculotta246]

I love your hair! Can you make hair routine video?

I haven't tried Thrive Market yet because I work at a health food store and have a lot of things available to me, but little by little I'm thinking I need to try it anyway.

[@NikkiVegan]

So cool that you work at a health food shop! What are some of your favorite items there? I'll keep a look out for them

[@art_strings]

I really enjoy your videos. I wish Thrive was available to Canadians, although maybe it's better they aren't. Haha.

[@broken_rebirth]

Honestly, one good thing about this pandemic is more time to actually make meals for myself. Otherwise I just make cold overnight oats for lunch M-F and meal prep for my dinner meal, then have healthy snacks I can just grab and go witih since I'm so limited due to allergies and medical related restrictions lol. Anyone else with me? I'm gonna miss the experimenting when the new normal is here. lol
