Going vegan in 2023? Just craving some delicious and healthy snacks to keep you fueled for all the big adventures you have planned this year? Plant-based snacks can be a tasty way to pack more nutrients into your day and keep you energized, even when you’re on the go. Here are five delicious vegan snacks that can satisfy your cravings without the sugar crash.

Vegan Snack Ideas

1. Protein Balls

For a satisfying option that’s portable and tastes like a treat, Protein Balls are a great vegan snack option. Start with 1 cup rolled oats, ½ cup unsweetened nut butter, 1/3 cup maple syrup, and ½ cup plant protein powder, then add any mix-ins you like. Think chocolate chips, chia seeds, flax seeds, dried fruit, or chopped nuts. Mix well, and add a couple tablespoons of nut milk if the mixture is too dry. Roll into balls, chill, and enjoy!

2. Veggies with Hummus

Raw veggies are a classic vegan staple for a reason, but adding protein can help up the satisfaction factor so you stay fuller for longer. Chickpeas have all nine essential amino acids needed to make a complete protein, which makes hummus a great companion for your carrots, cucumbers, peppers, celery, or crudites of choice. You can even take things up a notch by making homemade hummus like this delicious vegan Roasted Red Pepper Hummus.

3. Chia Pudding

Packed with protein and easy to customize, chia pudding is a yummy way to shake up the breakfast rotation or cure an afternoon craving. Healthy fats and fiber make this vegan snack extra satisfying, while the toppings make it a fresh, light treat. This Cherry Berry Chia Pudding recipe uses GoMacro®’s Cherries + Berries MacroBar®, which you can find at Mother’s!

4. Homemade Granola

Vegan granola is great for topping smoothies or plant-based yogurt – or on its own for a crunchy on-the-go snack. While the store-bought variety is fine, making your own means you can customize the ingredients to your liking, and it’s easier than you might think! This Coconut + Almond Butter + Chocolate Chips Granola has just six ingredients and is ready in 20 minutes.

5. GoMacro MacroBars

If you need a convenient, protein-packed vegan snack that doesn’t require any prep or refrigeration, MacroBars are a great option. Made with real, high-quality, sustainably sourced ingredients, they contain 10-11g of plant-based protein and come in delicious flavors like Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, Maple Sea Salt, and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip. Try them all at your local Mother’s Market!
