What are vegan snacks?

- Date nut balls:Date-sweetened balls of nuts, seeds, and superfood powders.

-Trailmix:A mix of nuts, seeds, dried fruit and sometimes chocolate chips. Look for options without added sugars.

-Granola:Homemade crispy granola made from oats, nuts and dried fruit (without sugar) is a classic vegan snack. Top it with plant-based milk or yoghurt for a quick parfait.

-Dried fruit:Unsweetened dried fruits like raisins, apricots and mangoes provide natural sweetness. They are chewy and kid-friendly too.

-Vegetable chips:Thinly sliced ​​and oven-baked root vegetables like beets, carrots and parsnips make crunchy, hearty vegan snacks. Season with salt and your favorite spices.

-Hummus and vegetables:Hummus, a spread made from chickpeas, and fresh vegetables like carrots, cucumbers and bell peppers is always a good choice. Dip in and enjoy!
