good packed vegetarian lunches for a 13 year old girl?

Answer 1

Look at whole grain (preferably multi-cereal) bread, peanut or regular butter, vegetable salads with no dressing or a little lime juice, nuts and fruits. Depending on where you stay, you may get most of it in supermarkets.

Answer 2

We're lacto-ovo vegetarians (no one with a face but eggs and dairy ok) and my kids usually just want pb & j on whole wheat bread with a bag of chips or fruit snacks on the side. Sometimes I'll get the time to bag up some slices of cucumber or broccoli/carrots/cauliflower and a little cup of ranch dressing to dip them in. Cut apples and a bit of peanut butter or a little cup of caramel for dipping is a favorite snack too.
They also like the good old fashioned tomato soup in a thermos with a cold grilled cheese sandwich or just a tomato sandwich with cheese and a bit of mayo.
Sandwiches are easiest and can be healthy if you use a good whole grain bread.
Pita pockets filled with romaine lettuce, avocado and feta cheese drizzled with a bit of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt can top them off nicely too. A bit of air popped popcorn is a light crispy snack at lunchtime. Making me hungry....

Answer 3

A few simple ones (starting with the very simplest:

Peanut butter sandwich (preferable natural/organic) on a hearty whole grain bread. Possibly with banana, honey or raisins on it.

Eggless salad sandwich. You can get this salad at your health food store premade, or many have the packets of the seasoning mix -- just add crumbled tofu, soya mayonnaise, celery and onion

A small container of hummus with crackers and assorted veggies for dipping.

A pita sandwich or wrap with hummus and vegetables.

If you're not vegan, mix softened cream cheese with fresh or dried herbs or even pesto and spread in a pita pocket. Add any mix of the following: sprouts, thinly sliced cucumber, fresh spinach, sliced fresh mushroom, grated carrot. (We used to call this a "Pita Rabbit")

Lentil salad with a curried balsamic vinegrette dressing. Especially good with a little onion, finely chopped carrot, celery and raisins.

A green salad made with dark greens, with a protein such as garbanzo beans or baked tofu (comes in a variety of flavors and is a nice firm texture). Another (non-vegan) choice is to top with toasted nuts, mandarin orange and a little feta or gorgonzola -- dried cranberries are good on this too.

(Again if you're not vegan): Vanilla yogurt mixed with chopped nuts and dried fruit (wheat germ is also good on this)

Add some fresh fruit or a baggie of dried fruit and nuts (or a Larrabar) and you've got dessert or a snack for later.

Answer 4

you should check out the vegan lunch box. Your daughter may not be vegan, but the lunches on there are great. I'm not vegan and I love getting ideas from there. She also wrote a book with all the recipes.
