Great Lunch Ideas

The most challenging thing to sticking to a good diet is all the prep work that goes into it.  Unfortunately eating french fries for lunch everyday is not a solution, even though it technically fits into a Vegan diet.  Here I have compiled a bunch of ideas for things to make the night before to have for lunch the next day.  They are easy, healthy and will keep you satisfied!
