Easy Vegan Snack Ideas
Delicious, balanced, and healthy!
Easy Vegan Lunch Ideas, Easy Vegan Dinner Ideas, and Easy Vegan Breakfast Ideas were posted. So, now it’s time for some snack ideas. For a vegan snack to be balanced and healthy, it needs carbs, protein and/or fat, and volume/color. For it to be delicious is a different story altogether because people have different taste preferences.
That’s why options are included here that offer variety. Use these as ideas for your vegan snacks, and switch them up if you want!
The main thing here is that these are easy, so you don’t have to spend a lot of time thinking what you’re going to have for a snack over and over again. Customize these to your preferences. Here they are!
Satisfying Snack Plates
There can be so much fun and tasty variety in vegan snack plates! The options are endless here, so go all out with this one.
First off, get your protein. Vegan deli slices, roasted edamame, or vegan jerky are great options here.
Then, choose your carb. Roasted chickpeas, vegan crackers, peanut butter or almond butter filled pretzel nuggets, or pita work well for this.
Next, decide on the fat. Hummus, nut butter (cashew, peanut, almond), nuts (cashews, pecans, walnuts, pistachios, almonds), guacamole, or seeds (hemp, sunflower, pumpkin) are perfect here.
Don’t forget to pick your fruit and vegetables. Broccoli, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, bell pepper or sweet mini pepper slices, carrots, or celery are amazing to pair with this.
Apple slices, orange, clementine, or mandarin wedges, banana slices, berries, or grapes are the best to have with this.
These combos are endless fun to try that make a wholesome and satisfying snack!
Vegan Protein Shakes and Vegan Protein Bars
I can’t talk about vegan snacks without mentioning these two! These are both convenient, quick, delicious, and protein packed options for vegan snacks, especially for when you’re on the go, teaveling, or not home a lot at times.
There are so many vegan protein bars to choose from that are great, and you can even make your own.
There’s also a lot of already made vegan protein shakes available or you can make your own in no time with vegan protein powder, plant milk or water, and fruit to start. Adding nuts, seeds, or nut butter is an option, too.
Vegan Trail Mixes, Vegan Granola, and Vegan Yogurt Parfaits
I put these three together because you can really pack vegan trail mixes and vegan granola with protein and other nutrients to make it a filling, nourishing, and delicious snack any time.
For vegan trail mix, you can take a combo of nuts and seeds, add in vegan chocolate chips, coconut flakes, oats, vegan protein cereal, dried fruit, sesame sticks, etc.
For vegan granola, you can make it using oats, baked apples, cinnamon, vanilla, nuts/and or seeds, nut butter, tahini, or maple syrup, vegan protein powder or tvp (textured vegetable protein), shredded coconut, etc. and have plant milk with it, too.
For vegan yogurt parfaits, you can mix up a vegan yogurt that has protein in it, like soy yogurt, or take another vegan yogurt (almond, cashew, coconut) and add vegan protein powder in it, oats or granola, fruit (berries, pineapple, mango, banana), nuts, seeds, shredded coconut, etc.
Vegan Bagels and Toasts With a Twist
There are vegan bagels that have 10-20 grams of protein in them. There are different varieties (cinnamon raisin, plain, everything, sesame, pumpkin, berry, etc.). Top it with a vegan cream cheese, avocado, tahini, hummus, or nut butter. What you add to it or pair with it is the twist. Your choice!
Some delicious combos for these are: vegan everything bagel with tahini and everything but the bagel seasoning, vegan berry bagel with vegan cream cheese and cinnamon sugar, vegan cinnamon raisin bagel with vegan cream cheese, strawberry jam, and cinnamon, vegan plain bagel with peanut butter and jelly or avocado and hummus. Fruit (orange, berries, banana, pear) are great to have with a bagel, too.
There are also so many vegan breads, and some have more protein than others. The different varieties may be sourdough, sprouted grain, sesame, flax, brown rice, potato, oat, wheat, etc. Top your toast with nut butter, tahini, avocado, hummus, jelly, vegan cream cheese, vegan butter, etc.
Some delicious variations of these to top your toast are: avocado with Himalayan sea salt, cracked black pepper, and tomato slices, nut butter with banana slices and cinnamon, hummus with cucumber slices, vegan cream cheese with strawberries, and nut butter with jelly. Add fruit or vegetables on the side if you want.
Smaller Portions of Something
You can even have a smaller portion of something as a snack. Great ideas for this are: a slice of pizza (add tempeh, seitan, or tofu for protein and also top with vegetables), a small salad, a small bowl of soup, half of a wrap or half of a sandwich, a smoothie bowl, etc.
I’m not going to conclude these easy vegan snack ideas without mentioning my Vegan Beauty Power Loaded Nachos. These make a perfect snack and aren’t your typical loaded nachos. They’re so incredible!
All of these easy vegan snack ideas are delicious, balanced, and healthy options to nourish and satisfy you. Have fun with your snacks!
I hope you love these if you try them and decide to add them to your vegan eating. Happy snacking!
