A lot of college kids spend the majority of their money on food. Unfortunately, if you’re living the life of a broke college student, it’s hard to find food that won’t break the bank. Nowadays, it seems that you can’t enter any food establishment without spending at least $10 (unless of course you opt for the always faithful pizza and bagels). Whether you follow the vegan diet or are just sick of spending all your money on food, these recipes are perfect for you. With only $15, you can make an entire week of delicious vegan lunches, all of which take less than 10 minutes to prepare.
If that isn’t reason enough, then the fact that you will have a week of healthy and protein-filled vegan meals PLUS leftovers, should be.
