Choose more plant-based meals 

Are you curious about incorporating more grains and vegetables into your meals and snacks? Eating less meat and dairy can benefit the environment and your health. The campus dining centers make transitioning to a plant-based diet or adding more plant-based foods easy.  

Here are a few dining center hacks for plant-based meals or snacks. 

  • At the C4C, ask for a vegetarian breakfast burrito and add chorizo tofu or pinto beans for protein. For lunch or dinner, grab a hummus from the Kosher station refrigerator or the deli station to use on a sandwich instead of meat. 
  • At Sewell, Village Center and C4C, ask for a tofu scramble with vegetables at the breakfast scramble bar. Depending on the day, you can also enjoy a selection of vegan pastries, like coconut bread or apple strudel. 
  • At all dining centers on campus, food items at every station include labels. Vegan foods will have V, and lacto-ovo vegetarian foods will have LO on the labels. 
  • Libby on the Run, CU on the Run and the Alley at Farrand carry many vegan entrees, sides and snacks. They also offer vegan soups, salads and wraps to go. 
  • Utilize the menus and the vegetarian and vegan filter functions in Nutrislice to plan your meals.
