Re: What are your go-to vegetarian meals?
Couscous ( while it probably isn't the healthiest grain choice, it's pasta) is super quick cooking to put together for lunches or a quick meal. When I used to eat it a lot, I'd put a little oil and some herbs, chopped up tomatoes and other vegetables I had lying around.
Quesadillas with beans are also quick.
For lunches, sandwiches are fast. Either with nut butters, or sliced avocado or hummus, tomato, lettuce, and tomato. Roasted vegetables take a little longer but make a great sandwich. Hummus with cut up vegetables. Quinoa with vegetables and nuts or seeds.
I make a lot of things that aren't as fast, but can be prepared ahead and heated up (like bean and vegetable soups). Or make a double portion of something, so that there is enough for dinner and lunch the next day. Or I freeze the extra portion if we don't feel like eating it again right away.
You could try green smoothies. They can be quite filling, depending on what you put in them, and enough for a meal.
