    Costco Vegan School Lunch Ideas

    Back to school is around the corner and with that means busy mornings and packed schedules. So, I decided to prepare early for school this year with school lunch being first on my list. Because as you know packing vegan lunches can be a bit tricky, especially if you want fast and healthy vegan school lunch ideas.

    So then, first thing first, my kiddos had to find the perfect back to school lunch box (you now how important that is), and luckily they each found one they love on Amazon- I just love Amazon! In the photos above, the one to the left is for my younger daughter (check it out here), and the bigger one to the right is for my 13 year old (check it out here).

    Next, I ordered the cutest blue and pink bento boxes that fit perfectly inside both lunch bags (I always check the measurements of the lunch bags and bento boxes before ordering). I ordered those on Amazon as well (curious about those? click here). I find that it's best to have a bento box and a lunch bag, this way you can add a drink and an additional snack or whatever they may need for that particular day.

No going from store to store- who has time for that!? Definitely not me, so that's why I am so excited to share with you these Easy Vegan School Lunch Ideas from Costco! Let's dive in!

    This lunch combination is great is you want a change from the usual sandwich and it couldn't be easier! The Organic Savory Mexican Style black beans come in a pouch and are microwavable and the same goes for the Spanish style Rice with quinoa, red bell peppers, and corn.

    You just vent the corner of the pouch and pop in the microwave for 90 seconds. While rice and beans are in the microwave, you can add the carrots, apples, and cherry tomatoes to your bento box or lunch bag- vegan school lunch in 5 minutes!

    Lunch Combo #2

Next, toss in a banana and a Nature Valley Trail Mix Bar. And that my friends is a nutritious vegan lunch DONE and it only took about 2 minutes.

    Lunch Combo #3

    Who doesn't love classic PB&J? Here, we make it a bit more fun by spreading a generous portion on a Oroweat Sandwich thin; these little rolls are 100 percent whole wheat, super nutritious, and contain only 100 calories!

    Pair the sandwich with apple slices, mandarin oranges, sweet potato crackers, and a scoop refried beans. My kids love eating the refried beans like a dip, using sweet potato crackers as dippers and it's so healthy! I'll bet you can prepare this healthy vegan lunch is less than 5 minutes!

    Lunch Combo #4
