I don’t exactly consider myself a vegetarian, but I do love vegetarian dishes. I don’t eat red meat, so I consume a fair amount of tofu, veggies and other fake meat products. I am obsessed with tofu pad thai, veggie burgers with grilled onions and avocado, and hearty black bean soup.

Since I stay away from most lunch meats, it’s often hard to find something to eat for lunch. At least I can pack a tuna sandwich, but what can vegetarians eat for lunch? It’s hard to think of creative lunch recipes so you don’t get sick of peanut butter and jelly or canned vegetable soup. We have put together a list of our 8 favorite vegetarian-friendly recipes plus tips and reasons why you should consider vegetarian foods.

Even if you aren’t a vegetarian, you should consider following a vegetarian lifestyle. Why? Well…
