I’m a snack queen. I would rather eat a bunch of snacks throughout the day than sit down to a big meal. Granted, I love to cook — but sometimes you just want some salty chips or a delectable energy bite. Whether you’re looking for more plant-based treats or a lifelong vegan in need of new snack ideas, this is the list for you! I’ve got sweet and savoury. I’ve got room temp and frozen. I’ve got all the seasons covered! These easy vegan snacks aren’t just for afternoons. These are all also great for breakfast before school, or a morning pick-me-up at the office, or just an inspired dessert. Which one is your favourite? Here’s some basic tips and tricks to making your vegan snacks last as long as your cravings:
Make them in bulk. Most of these easy vegan snacks will last at least a week if stored properly. Whip up a week’s worth of yummy snacks on the weekend and munch away! Mix it up. Sometimes I get stuck in a rut and don’t want to make anything. Try a few different recipes every week and see what sticks. Some things you’ll want every day, and some you’ll want when fruit is fresh or, of course, pumpkin season. Keep some on you. The worst part about hunger is it hits when you’re not home. I always keep a reusable baggie of energy bites or other vegan snacks in my purse or gym bag. That way, I can get avoid becoming a hangry Snickers commercial star. Don’t forget dessert! Some of these sweet snacks have saved me on late nights when my brain thinks we NEED chocolate — like right now. The natural sweetness of dates and maple syrup can be yummier than any vegan ice cream, I swear.
