Lunch is a great time to gather with family and friends and enjoy some yummy dishes. Meal prepping your lunches is also a great idea if you don’t have a lot of time in between your busy schedule.

From wraps to sandwiches to soups and salads, there is something that every vegan can enjoy. If you have diabetes and follow a vegan diet, your meals might look a little different, but they can still be as delicious as ever.

🥑 Vegan diets are made up of only plant-based ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, soy, legumes, nuts, plant-based dairy products, and whole grains, just to name a few. A lot of these ingredients also benefit your blood sugar because they are not rich in added sugar or saturated fats.
