Let’s face it: sometimes you want a snack. Maybe you even need a snack.
And I don’t know about you, but when I hear the word “snack,” my tastebuds can start to convince me that I want to eat something that’s not so healthy for me, and most likely is filled with empty calories.
The trick to outwitting your tastebuds is a little planning ahead so that you always have crave-worthy, healthy snacks on hand.
That’s why I came up with this roundup of high-protein vegan snacks. Not only will they satisfy your tastebuds, but because they’re packed with plant protein, they’ll keep you feeling full long after you eat them.
Plus, you’ll feel great thanks to the whole, nutrient-dense, and energy-giving foods they contain, and not a lot of processed and refined “food.”
I’ve tried to include something for every snacking whim – sweet, savory, smooth, and crunchy. Enjoy!
