What do vegans eat for snacks?
In a world where meat and cheese and sugar dominate the snack food world (and that’s if we leave out the chemicals, additives and preservatives), it can be a challenge to think about vegan snacks.
Jan and Kyra, our coaches for the Viva La Vegan class starting July 11, offer these suggestions.
- Fresh fruit in season, including oranges, mangoes, kiwis, apples, ruby red grapefruit (Texas grapefruits are the sweetest), strawberries, grapes, etc.
- Unsalted raw nuts or seeds, such as almonds, cashews, or peanuts – or try Brazil nuts, walnuts, pepitas, or sunflower seeds
- Crackers – just check that they’re dairy-free and sugar-free, and avoid excess salt, as well – try Newman’s Own Unsalted Pretzel Rounds
- Dried fruit – try mango, blueberries, bananas, peaches, etc. as well as raisins, apricots, and apples
- Dry cereal (no sugar)
- Trail mix without added sugars – try Bear Naked trail mixes or make your own
- Whole grain toast with peanut butter or other nut or seed butter (no salt, no sugar, freshly ground)
- Raw veggies, like carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, green beans, jicama, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and bell pepper strips
- Hummus makes a great dip, as does guacamole (make sure it has no sour cream, if you purchase it premade), but plain veggies are just as good
The Viva La Vegan class starts next Monday, July 11.
