vegan snacks that don't include nuts?
I love nuts and nut butters, don't get me wrong. Its just that I normally have nuts on my oatmeal at breakfast and tahini or some kind of nut butter on bread with lunch, and I sort of worry that I will go overboard on them if I snack on them as well!
I like to have a snack at about 3 or 4pm to fuel my exercise later on, but am having a few problems coming up with good sources of protein/carb combinations to snack on that are vegan but don't include anymore nuts or seeds.
What do you guys eat? (fyi, air popped popcorn doesn't count :P it just makes me feel like i'm eating air and isn't great for giving me energy)
Guacamole and/or hummus and crudites? Dried fruit? Roasted edamame might be to your liking. Or roasted chickpeas!
How are you with soya? If you're okay with it, soya yoghurt might work.
ahhh roasted chickpeas, I had forgotten about those - good suggestion!
thanks for the suggestions, all good
I like to mix black beans and salsa together in the food processor, then use the mixture as a dip for veggies.
I'm assuming by bringing up nuts and popcorn that you want something crunchy and small? I'm vegan too, and I love soy crisps. Healthy and chip-like. You could also have cereal or fruit/vegetables. Those are mostly what I snack on.
I enjoy a good cupful of dry cereal :) Something like Cheerios or Kix or something works for me...if you are feeling sassy, throw in some dark chocolate chips and craisins to make a trail mix kind of thing.
I'm also a fan of edamame and roasted chickpeas as mentioned above, or some brown ricecakes or toasted pitas with hummus, homemade guacamole or salsa.
- pita and hummus <3
- bananas
- apple slices
- a snack bar such as "think organic"
protein and snack bars are a great portable snack. there are so many brands that you can have a field day trying all of the flavors. you should try gnu bars, odwalla, or luna tea cakes. these are all very good and have a good combination of protein and carbs. let me know what you think!! =]
Roasted red pepper hummus and baby carretts!! Best snack EVER
