Vegan Snack Ideas
Good snacking on a plant-based diet is about having the right things available rather than willpower. When healthy, satisfying plant-based snacks are within reach, making a good choice is easy.

Tips
- Batch-prepare hummus at the weekend — a large pot lasts all week and can be used for dipping, spreading or adding to salads.
- Trail mix (nuts, seeds, dried fruit) is the most portable high-protein plant-based snack available.
- Roasted chickpeas satisfy the same crunchy, savoury craving as crisps but with far more protein and fibre.
