NOT BORING Back to School Lunch Ideas!🌱📚 Vegan + Healthy | Back to School 2019
Welcome back to Day Four of my week-long Back to School Lunch series! This lunch is kid and adult friendly and perfect to pack for school or work. Hope you enjoy! Recipes + info below 🙂

For today’s Back to School lunchbox, I packed a vegan waffle sandwich. Made with creamy peanut butter (sub sunflower butter if you’re making this for a peanut-free school) and banana slices. I layered on some fresh sliced strawberries and another drizzle of peanut butter and then used some toothpicks to hold in all together.
Apple slices, pear slices, chia seed jam, or mashed frozen berries (thawed) with a dash of maple syrup work well too!
Check out the thawed berry technique here:
↠ Fig and Tahini Granola with Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt
3 cups organic old fashioned oats
1/2 tsp sea salt (not the flakey kind)
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp sesame seeds (white or black)
1/3 cups plus 2 tbsp runny tahini
1/4 cup maple syrup
3 tbsp melted refined coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped figs or raisins
1/4 cup vegan dark chocolate chunks
2 big pinches of Maldon flakey sea salt
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, sea salt (regular, not Maldon) and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
In another bowl, add tahini (it should be room temp and runny) maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla. Mix well and add to the oat mixture.
Toss until well coated and transfer to a lined baking sheet. Spread in an even layer, scooting in the edges using a spatula (to prevent the edge pieces from burning)
Bake for 10 minutes, then stir. Scoot in the edges again and bake for another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, stir one more time to ensure that everything is golden brown, then set aside to cool.
Avoid touching or stirring the granola until cooled, this will help create clusters! Once mostly cooled, add the chopped figs, dark chocolate, and Maldon sea salt.
Cool completely before storing (or else it will get soggy) and store in a clean air-tight container for up to 2-3 weeks 🙂
Note: You can add more maple syrup or some brown sugar before baking to make this sweeter if you like! My tip is to taste it as is after adding the dried figs, chocolate, and sea salt. They all enhance the sweetness quite a bit too. Then adjust sweetness accordingly for the next time 🙂
I like sprinkling this granola on my oatmeal in the morning for some crunch or on top of smoothie bowls. So good!
Enjoy!

I appreciate that you emphasize more cost-effective options and use inexpensive ingredients in general. Many vegan influencers use so many super-foods and supplements that it makes eating plant based seem so expensive and impossible..
Thanks so much for the ideas!!!
Thank you! I made the granola. It's soooooo good!
I’ve been eating the waffle sandwiches for breakfast every day this week!
I just recently discovered you and I love your content! You are super sweet and love the dark hair! I am so new at this and lost a lot of the time with what to make as a new plant based eater. I love the inspiration! Thank you!
This one looks deelish too!
I also only have 30 min for lunch… It goes by so quickly!! This series has been amazing and I can see the love and effort that you put in! Can't wait for tomorrow's video 😉
Girl your skin is GLOWING! stunning 😍
Really enjoy watching your video’s. Do you think you could do some Gluten Free Vegan Recipes?
So simple but a great twist using the waffles! Love PB&J!! Thanks for the granola recipe too!
THANK YOU for giving options for less expensive fruit ideas. Too many food bloggers and you-tubers, especially the clean-eating ones, forget that some of us are on a budget and can't afford to buy the organic fruit or the $11 bottle of avocado oil…they may be healthy, but there are less expensive equally healthy options out there. I so appreciate that you are aware of that and share those ideas with us.
Apparently figs are not vegan. You can google it
woah gotta go make granola asap 😍😍🏃♀️
Really enjoying this series! Always such creative ideas from ya!! Xoxo
I need these videos once or twice a month!
Just want to say thank you for these (and all) of your videos! You always give the best ideas & tips that help keep things interesting & fun while still being simple enough to use in every day life. I'm always inspired after watching and that's a great feeling 💖 Also your flavor combos are so on point! 🤤🔥 So yea, thanks for making my vegan life more exciting 😍
I’m watching you on my lunch! 💖
I love this series omg
Made a cooking channel come check it out:)
Yummy! I’m really trying to squeeze in the time to meal prep but it’s so hard! 😣
Thank You so much, great as always! Thank You especially for the list of ingredience of all the good stuff, this is so motivating to me! Love from Germany
Oh girl I feel you on the 30 minutes lunch break. By time you go and pick up food it’s time to go back to work, pretty much have to eat in the car on the way back.
Excellent and great recipes. Nikki vegan's recipes & videos are never boring.
PB&J!!!! Love it!!! I love the waffle idea too! 😍😍
I only have 25 minutes for lunch I can’t imagine waiting in the cafeteria line for my food. By packing my lunch I have more time to eat and actually enjoy my meal
This series is great! Thanks for sharing those delicious lunch ideas 😋
I am going to be so sad when this series is over😞!!!
Can I sub chia seeds for sesame since that's all I have on hand? These look so good! I'll have to sub agave for maple syrup too. I hope it turns out!
