Breakfast and brunch

- Try the vegetarian version of the big breakfast
On-the-go
- Scan the cabinet for the most colourful rolls, wraps and sandwiches
- Choose fruit flavours of muffins and baked goodies
- Ask to add extra to your burger, toastie or sandwich – think beetroot, pineapple or salad
- Check out the salad specials – they are often more filling than you think!
- Frittata and quiches often have plenty of vegies inside
- More and more petrol stations and convenience stores have fruit bowls on the counter. Look for it!
- Supermarkets have some great ready-to-eat lunches and snacks eg. Side salads, pre-cut vegie sticks or fruits. Other easy-to-eat options include cherry tomatoes, strawberries or even a whole carrot!
At a restaurant
- Order a salad or vegie dish as a side
- Check out vegetarian options on the menu
