Planned or spontaneous, picnics are a fantastic way
to enjoy both delicious meals and warm weather. Whether it’s in the middle of a
school day or during an office lunch break, we can all take advantage of the
beautiful spring sunshine through daytime picnicking. Here are some tips on
planning the perfect vegan picnic:
- Haul a hearty sack full of
whole wheat bread, vegan deli slices, fruits and veggies, and
an assortment of condiments and dips to work or school and invite your
colleagues or classmates to join you for lunch at a nearby park. Not only
is this an excellent opportunity to introduce school or office mates to
the delights of vegan eating, it’s also a great way to build camaraderie.
I also like to bring along delicious vegan chocolate chip cookies for an extra
special treat!
- Does your nearby park have a
grill? Pack ready-to-grill veggie dogs, such as Tofurky Franks or Yves Tofu
Dogs. In addition to being easy to cook, these meatless franks are
sure to satisfy even the most staunch meat eater.
- On-the-fly picnic? No
worries. Order takeout from your favorite restaurant and pick it up on
your way to the park. Big salads and tofu summer rolls make a fabulous
springtime combo! Check out VegGuide.org for restaurants in your area
that offer vegan options.
- Weekend picnic with your
pup? Check out DogFriendly.com to find parks that allow our
canine pals to join in the fun! Be sure to pack doggie treats and plenty
of water for your furry friend. (It can get hot out there!) On that note,
bring along a pint of SO Delicious Cookie Dough Ice Cream so you
can cool down too!
Vegan
picnics are a fabulous way to revel in the spring sun, enjoy the company of
friends and coworkers, and introduce colleagues to the vast assortment of
lip-smacking vegan eats available at their neighborhood grocers. For more tips
