I love that you actually give great NEW ideas for vegan eating! Most people share simple ideas that I already know (vegan grilled cheese etc). Your hard work in your videos really shines through!
Im personally not a vegan but these look great and i will pack them from school. The only reason im not vegan is that im 14 and live in a house of non vegans but when I'm older I'm definately gonna become at least pescetarian
I'm 12 and I really want to be vegan but the only reason I'm not is the same reason as you :( My parents and my whole family are non-vegans as well. I am trying to be vegetarian(and sometimes vegan) when my parents are not with me but I really hope parents can understand our mentality of wanting to save the animals and the environment of being vegan.
same but i ask my mom to buy me groceries so i can cook vegan food for myself. maybe that only works cause my parents are divorced and are comfortably middle class?
I loveee this video. Most of the videos I watch on vegan school lunches contain mock meats, vegan mayo, vegan cheese, etc. And I'm not into buying those stuff so its great to watch a video and know you have everything you need already. Also, I cut my sandwiches into triangles because I find that it opens up my appetite...is that weird?
That is SUCH a beautiful video! Everything looks so colorful, healthy and delicious and the recipe ideas are so creative! I love your videos, Caitlin, I can see how much effort you invest in making them and they're so helpful and inspiring! thanks for sharing! 🙏💜
Can you make a video on how to start liking vegetables? I've been vegan for about 2 weeks but I hate every single vegetable because of flavor and texture. I only really eat fruits and rice/beans or pasta but I want to broaden my diet because I want to be a fully Plant based vegan
maybe you can try to make a lot of soups? Just all the veggies in the blender and then heat it up and put some spices in if you like to! by blending your veggies you can create a new texture as well as a completely new flavour :)
+Carol G. Yes, blending is the best trick ever. I made Plant Strong's "Sweet Holy Deliciousness" with kale, red lentils and sweet potato last night. Family would not touch it until I blended it. Afterward, even though it was very green, they were all willing to eat it.
It also helps to put some greens (like spinach or cucumber) into your smoothie (make a green smoothie) and you won't taste it at all if you're doing it right! Like that you can get a lot of greens in without tasting it!
Paola C I love my veggies with sriracha or toasted sesame oil 😍 just steam some broccoli so it does not get mushy (unless you prefer it mushy) and drizzel this goodness on it!
i literally eat the exact same things every day being Vegan. porridge for breakfast, lunch is rice with some veg or something, dinner is pasta with differing sauce and veg, then beans on toast before bed lol. kinda stuck in a food rut... you're always so creative with your food haha. its just so easy to throw some things in a pan and watch UA-cam while it cooks hahah
Zenya Hrycenko You should, it's really good and easy to make. I cut up all the vegetables and made the sauce while the noodles were cooking and the whole recipe only took about 20 minutes:)
I have been vegan for a little over a week now. Your videos, among others, helped me make this choice. I am in college as well. Your channel makes the vegan life not seem as daunting and even very fun. Thank you for posting these videos and good luck with school!
Gurrl I'm obsessed with your channel! I have ZERO inspiration for my school breakfast and have been only eating bread with hummus and cucumbers lately ;) much love from germany!!! ❤️😍
I just found this channel and I love it! Being a *broke* vegan college student can be hard. It's always nice to get inspiration from other people in the same boat!! ❤️
This was the first video of yours that I’ve watched and I already love you! You’re so chill and you just give off awesome vibes! I became a vegan about 3 months ago and I can already tell that your videos are going to be really helpful for me because I usually just eat rice or pasta with some beans and vegetables for like... every meal
Chickpea sandwich salad if a fave of mine - making it without the vegenaise blows my mind! Thanks for the ideas. An idea l'll offer to you is to very finely chop some cranberries to add to the mix. And if you want it chewier add chopped almonds.
In my chicken salads when I ate meat my mom always told me to add almonds and/or craisins or grapes to add some texture and flavor- it would probably be delicious here too.
Missy Minnick I love grapes in chicken salad 🥗 I'm not vegan but I don't eat a lot of meat it's just more of a I live with my parents type of problem so sometimes it's unavoidable, however I alway feel better On my plant based days
Ashley Baker How is it unavoidable? You don't HAVE to eat the meat, you just want to. I hate when people make excuses instead of being honest with themselves.
astrozombie actually my bad I guess I can be malnourished or I can do the smart thing and deal with what I'm give and do something about it when I have the means to
Ashley Baker I didn't mean to be rude, I just see people using this excuse all the time and it's annoying. My family isn't vegan and I am, and I get on great. Obviously, every family different... but for sure you have vegetables, fruit, grains, beans, etc?
This was really nice and yay, finally some vegan recipes that aren't heavily based on things I'm allergic to that's the main reason why I've been so hesitant to become vegan but this has encouraged me to do more research thanks so much ☺️
I'm not a vegan but cant stop watching your amazing videos ;) it's inspiring me to switch my lil family to cruelty free ,. im 27 , I have a 10 yr old and 6 yr old & totally wanna change our diets/life styles ,. I found your channel like 2wks ago , the first video I saw was you living on poverty line , where you lived on a $1.50 a day ;) gosh you made me wanna change my ways lol ! like seriously ; I never usually watch the vegan influencers/channels bc I never understood veganism but I have to say , you are making me think and making me wanna start my kids on this path. ;) love your vids and I aspire to be like you ! doubt I'll be able to do it , buying organic food is costly :( especially when only living on a minimum wage. :(
I just meal prepped a batch of the chickpea salad and I am in love! I am excited to eat it later this week. I also saw some of your other recipe videos and I look forward to making those too!
not vegan but your video's have given me some great ideas on how to incorporate meatless meals into my diet. Definitely going to try out all three of these!
Loved the video!! Really great easy lunches that a plant based teen like myself can make. Plus Im lowkey tired of my friends complaining that I only ever eat fruit for lunch haha so this will help me spice things up :)
I loved every single one of these recipes and that is really rare for me! I just discovered your channel and subscribed. Thanks for the video, I'm going to make the chickpea salad today :)
I absolutley love your videos so much. You have inspired me everyday to incorrperate fresh fruits and veggies into my daily diet and try to go vegan everyweek. In this video I can definally see your creativity and effort shine through. I love your videos so much and look forward to everyone!! OH, and out of all of these which one would be your favorite, just wondering becasue they all look so yummy! Thank you so much, Caitlin.
Hi! loved the vid :) a little trick so the pasta doesn't stick together is to actually rinse it with cold water after it's done cooking :) i do it all the time and works wonders! xoxo
adore your videos caitlin! thank you! that was so helpful 😋 will definitely try the pasta salad and sushi bowl 💖💖 p.s. your avocado rose is so pretty 😍😍
"Chicken salad.. But without the cruelty" hahaha made me smile
🐣💕
Damn, your shading was on point. "I think it's pretty similar to a chicken salad, but, without the cruelty." *smiles*
Whoa that avo rose was flawless.
I love that you actually give great NEW ideas for vegan eating! Most people share simple ideas that I already know (vegan grilled cheese etc). Your hard work in your videos really shines through!
Also you should try mango in your sushi! SO GOOD
Yesss, mango in sushi is everything! 😍
Kayla Waukau I agree she's awesome !!
Im personally not a vegan but these look great and i will pack them from school. The only reason im not vegan is that im 14 and live in a house of non vegans but when I'm older I'm definately gonna become at least pescetarian
The Lonely Alien My situation is similar but I'm only twelve. I would love to make my own vegan meals but I understand my parents. Oh well :)
I'm 12 and I really want to be vegan but the only reason I'm not is the same reason as you :( My parents and my whole family are non-vegans as well. I am trying to be vegetarian(and sometimes vegan) when my parents are not with me but I really hope parents can understand our mentality of wanting to save the animals and the environment of being vegan.
I'm exactly the same as you :(
same but i ask my mom to buy me groceries so i can cook vegan food for myself. maybe that only works cause my parents are divorced and are comfortably middle class?
I'm not vegan but I'm so excited to try all these out for my work lunches!
That's awesome! Hope you like them ☺️
That was the most beautiful avocado I've ever seen
2:46 That one pasta shell😂😂😂
RIP
I loveee this video. Most of the videos I watch on vegan school lunches contain mock meats, vegan mayo, vegan cheese, etc. And I'm not into buying those stuff so its great to watch a video and know you have everything you need already.

omg everything you make is so perfect i love u
the feeling is SO MUTUAL
That is SUCH a beautiful video! Everything looks so colorful, healthy and delicious and the recipe ideas are so creative! I love your videos, Caitlin, I can see how much effort you invest in making them and they're so helpful and inspiring! thanks for sharing! 🙏💜
Just made the chickpea salad sandwich (as a wrap!) and it was super delicious! Thanks for sharing :)
glad you love it!
Yesss I make the chickpea sandwich every week lol it's so yummy 😛

adding herbs or spices to your veggies could make them taste a lot nicer!

All the foods look so yummy
YES. I eat quinoa, greens, black beans, and whatever veggies I have on hand for lunch almost every day. SO GOOD! 🙌
Eating that chickpea salad right now with turneric rice and it's delicious
The pasta salat looks soooo good :D really need to try this :) thanks for sharing
Yes I hope you do, it's so yummy!
i literally eat the exact same things every day being Vegan. porridge for breakfast, lunch is rice with some veg or something, dinner is pasta with differing sauce and veg, then beans on toast before bed lol.
kinda stuck in a food rut... you're always so creative with your food haha.
its just so easy to throw some things in a pan and watch UA-cam while it cooks hahah
I made your balsamic pasta salad, it was delicious!!!!!!
Hannah Louise I really want to try it.
Zenya Hrycenko
You should, it's really good and easy to make. I cut up all the vegetables and made the sauce while the noodles were cooking and the whole recipe only took about 20 minutes:)

Love how unique these recipes are! I went vegan semi-recently and have been loving your videos!
Katesbookdate you can’t be semi-vegan..
The balsamic pasta salad looks delicious.
I love adding celery seed to my chickpea salads! Yum now I'm craving some!
Gurrl I'm obsessed with your channel! I have ZERO inspiration for my school breakfast and have been only eating bread with hummus and cucumbers lately ;) much love from germany!!! ❤️😍
That balsamic pasta is next level ❤️
That sushi bowl was perfection!! 👌🏻😋😍🤗
I like the style and editing in this video, Professional, laid back and straight to the point and the food looks delicious
My mom told me that when I was little I didn't like my sandwiches in a triangle shape 😂😂
always wanted to put my favorite vegan breakfast idea out there. Chia pot with soy milk almond butter and jelly. tastes just like a pb+j. love it.
I just found this channel and I love it! Being a *broke* vegan college student can be hard. It's always nice to get inspiration from other people in the same boat!! ❤️
I tried the chickpea salad sandwich and idk what to say it made my life so much better thanks caitlin
This was the first video of yours that I’ve watched and I already love you! You’re so chill and you just give off awesome vibes!

Omg i love bbq sauce with my food!! Brown rice, black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes and bbq sauce is my favorite combo
those sandwiches
Diagonal! Though I love what I saw you (I think?) Do with the bento boxes, slicing sandwich in strips to fit nicely.
Your videos give me life and you are so inspiring!!!❤️
I've been looking for healthy recipes for school! I can't wait to try the pasta salad one!
I tried the chickpea salad a while ago but it was sooooo good I have to make it again sometime!!!!!
Try mixing the bbq sauce with a bit of tahini for salad dressing. Life changing!! So yummy!!
In my chicken salads when I ate meat my mom always told me to add almonds and/or craisins or grapes to add some texture and flavor- it would probably be delicious here too.
Missy Minnick I love grapes in chicken salad 🥗 I'm not vegan but I don't eat a lot of meat it's just more of a I live with my parents type of problem so sometimes it's unavoidable, however I alway feel better On my plant based days
Ashley Baker How is it unavoidable? You don't HAVE to eat the meat, you just want to. I hate when people make excuses instead of being honest with themselves.
astrozombie I mean I guess if I want to eat bread and peanut butter every night for dinner.. my mom cooks with butter and bacon fat... yes unavoidable
astrozombie actually my bad I guess I can be malnourished or I can do the smart thing and deal with what I'm give and do something about it when I have the means to
Ashley Baker I didn't mean to be rude, I just see people using this excuse all the time and it's annoying. My family isn't vegan and I am, and I get on great. Obviously, every family different... but for sure you have vegetables, fruit, grains, beans, etc?
Also, I never thought to put dijon and hummus together as a dressing! Can't wait to try the chickpea salad for lunch this coming week!
its almond butter jelly time!! i always adding cinnamon for anything sweet that im eating, delicious.
One of the best videos on UA-cam.
Diagonal all the way 😊👌🏻
please make more school lunch vids! i'm trying each of these!
Chickpea salad was Delish! Thanks Caitlin !
My roommate and I just made the chickpea salad sandwich. AH-MAZING. you are one of the people who inspired me to go vegan. Thank you so much
This is a great video. I like the fact that these recipes don't have to be heated up. I'm looking forward to making them. Thank you!
I hope you like them! x
