Expert Tips and FAQs
Here’s some basic tips and tricks to making your vegan snacks last as long as your cravings:
- Make them in bulk. Most of these easy vegan snacks will last at least a week if stored properly. Whip up a week’s worth of yummy snacks on the weekend and munch away!
- Mix it up. Sometimes I get stuck in a rut and don’t want to make anything. Try a few different recipes every week and see what sticks. Some things you’ll want every day, and some you’ll want when fruit is fresh or, of course, pumpkin season.
- Keep some on you. The worst part about hunger is it hits when you’re not home. I always keep a reusable baggie of energy bites or other vegan snacks in my purse or gym bag. That way, I can get avoid becoming a hangry Snickers commercial star.
- Don’t forget dessert! Some of these sweet snacks have saved me on late nights when my brain thinks we NEED chocolate — like right now. The natural sweetness of dates and maple syrup can be yummier than any vegan ice cream, I swear.
