New to veganism and not sure what to do for lunch? The common panic is to mourn the loss of supermarket sandwiches and resign yourself to a life of soup.

What I take to work for lunch totally fills me up, tastes delicious and is so good for me I feel like I could drink a gallon of Oatly Vanilla Custard and not feel it. I mean, I would, obviously, but that’s not the point.

• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
