Don’t get me wrong: my routine constantly changes. As rigorous as my schedule can get, I allow for flexibility to suit my family’s ever-changing needs.

When I first started off as a WAHM, I was all over the place – especially when it came to preparing meals for myself. In the middle of my workday, my lunches would often fall flat. I’d munch on something unhealthy or quickly order take-out. For my sanity and most importantly, my health, I knew this habit needed to change. I always made sure my little one would have something delish but would forgo my plate to focus on work.

Well, as I mentioned, parenting is all about finding a balance and learning! I have since learned to incorporate quick, healthy meals for my entire family (and myself!) to enjoy.

Most recently, Evive released a new line of frozen lunches – and they are BEYOND YUMMY! Filled with healthy ingredients, their lunches boast the most interesting flavour profiles. Plus, they only take about 5 minutes to prepare – so they’re perfect for my day-to-day work routine.

5 Easy Plant-Based Lunches to Make

Stuck on tasty lunch ideas? Here are a few of my favourite recipes:

Evive’s Mac Squash frozen lunch wheel puts a vegan twist to a household classic: mac and cheese.

You’ll need:

• 1 serving of cooked elbow macaroni
• 1 wheel of Evive’s Mac Squash
• 2 tbsp almond milk
• Chilli pepper flakes and fresh oregano, for garnishing

1. Prepare Evive Mac Squash on the stovetop for about 5 minutes. At the 4-minute mark, add almond milk and mix to combine.

2. Add the prepared Mac Squash to a large bowl along with the cooked pasta and fold.

3. Serve in a bowl and garnish with chilli pepper flakes and fresh oregano.

2. Tom Thaï Rice Bowl

This rice bowl is inspired by Asian cuisine and it’s full of delicious ingredients.

You’ll need:

• 1 wheel of Evive’s Tom Thaï

• 2 tbsp chopped green onion
• 4-5 cherry tomatoes, halved

1. Prepare Evive’s Tom Thaï according to the package’s directions.

2. Serve over rice and garnish with sesame seeds followed by green onions and cherry tomatoes.

3. Bam Chili Soup

On cold autumn days, soup is my ultimate go-to meal. Check out how I whipped up this quick bowl of chili soup all thanks to Evive’s Bam Chili frozen lunch wheel.

You’ll need:

• 1 wheel of Evive’s Bam Chili
• 2/3 cups water
• 2 tbsp almond milk
• ½ avocado, peeled and sliced

1. Add Bam Chili into a medium saucepan, followed by water. Cook over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes.

2. Pour into a serving bowl and drizzle with almond milk. Add sliced avocados on top.

4. Avocado Toast with Cherry Tomatoes and Roasted Chickpeas

This loaded avo toast is out of this world! It’s definitely a family favourite of ours.

You’ll need:

• 1 avocado, peeled and mashed
• 2 slices of vegan bread, toasted
• Roasted chickpeas (recipe below!)
• 5-6 cherry tomatoes, halved
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

I recommend making the chickpeas the night before. To do so, you’ll need:

• 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 3 tbsp EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
• 2 tsp sweet paprika

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Spread chickpeas on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle with EVOO.

3. Bake for 20 minutes. Garnish with sweet paprika. Allow to cool and store in an airtight container or mason jar.

To make the avocado toast:

1. Spread avocado on each piece of toast.

2. Garnish with cherry tomato halves and roasted chickpeas.

3. Drizzle with EVOO and salt and pepper (to your liking!).

5. Japanese Cucumber Salad

Craving something fresh? This quick and simple salad should do the trick!

You’ll need:

• 1 large cucumber, peeled and sliced
• 1 tsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
• ¼ tsp salt

1) Blue Banana Smoothie Bowl 

Smoothie bowls are always a winner! It’s like having dessert for breakfast, but packed with nutrients! I’ll be using berries and bananas as my toppings, but use whatever fruits you have available!

Ingredients:

• Saphir smoothie wheel
•  3 ice cubes
• 1 frozen banana

Toppings:

• ½ cup of berries (fresh or frozen)
• ½ ripe banana
• ¼ cup crushed peanuts
• 1 teaspoon of chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon of flaxseeds
• ½ teaspoon of coconut shavings

Steps:

1. Add Saphir smoothie cubes, ice and frozen banana to your blender and then scoop it out into your bowl. You want to obtain a thick consistency.
2. Slice your peach and banana and put it on top. You don’t have to worry about making it look pretty – it’ll certainly taste good!
3. Throw on the peanuts, chia seeds and flaxseeds et voila!

2) Smiley Avocado Toast 

My toddler thinks green toast is so cool! A slightly toasted slice of multigrain bread and some mashed up (or sliced) avocado! I switch it up by making faces with tomatoes or cut up carrots. I love giving my kids avocado because of all the nutrients and I know that it will keep them full until lunchtime.

3) Three-Ingredient Pancakes 

That’s right! Just three ingredients: 2 ripe bananas, ½ cup of plant-based milk and 1 cup of oats. Toss them in a blender or food processor and there’s your batter. Serve with fruit and real maple syrup. I’ve also tried adding a handful of spinach to this and just a tad more milk, and it’s always a hit! Healthy plant-based food that doesn’t look like broccoli works best with my son!

4) Delicious Tropical Parfait 

The Evive Touk-Touk smoothie is one of my top favourites! It has all of our tropical faves like pineapple and mango! Another flavour we love is the Blueberry Haskap, which has an extra boost of plant-based protein – perfect for hungrier mornings!

Ingredients:

• Touk-Touk smoothie wheel 
• 2 tablespoons of water
• 1 cup of your favourite yogurt
• 1 tablespoon of chia seeds

Toppings: 

• 1 peach 
• ½ teaspoon of chia seeds 

Steps:

1. Combine yogurt and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds together. I find it’s best to put it in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour before eating, that way the chia seeds have time to swell up.
2. Pop the Touk-Touk cubes in a bottle or mason jar, add water and let sit for 20 minutes. Then shake, shake shake!
3. Now it’s time to layer! Fill the bottom of your glass with the chia pudding. Then pour your Touk-Touk smoothie over it. And lastly, add your fruit topping!

5) Comforting Vanilla Oatmeal 

I’ve been feeding my kids oatmeal as soon as solids started. I love to prepare my steel cut oats on the stove with almond milk, a tiny bit of salt, some brown sugar and a dash of vanilla. Vanilla has been my mom’s secret ingredient since I was little and I’ve happily kept it going!

I hope that you’ll try making some of these recipes with your family! They’re easy enough to let the kids help, too! My son loves shaking up the Evive smoothies or helping add on the toppings!
