Can you believe that global plant-based sales are expected to reach $162 billion by 2030?

As more people learn about animal welfare, the environment, and the health benefits of eating plant-based foods, the number of vegans and flexitarians will continue to grow, too. Whether you're an experienced vegan or you're dipping your toe into a plant-based diet, it's important to stay nourished throughout the day.

Have you been wondering what vegan snacks you should munch on between meals? Read on for 7 easy and delicious vegan snack ideas that are guaranteed to spice up your day.




1. Nuggets

Vegans in the past may have been limited to fruits and veggies, but now they don't have to say goodbye to their favorite nostalgic snacks. The vegan nuggets that you can get at the store nowadays are ready in 15 minutes or less. Whether you opt for an original or a spicy flavor, you won't be able to tell that you're eating plants because of how juicy the nuggets are.

Vegan nuggets are both kid and mom-approved, which makes them the perfect snack option for families. With 12 grams of protein per serving, you'll always be able to satisfy your hunger.


2. Parfait

Parfait is another one of the best easy vegan snacks because you only need a few ingredients. You can serve your favorite non-dairy yogurt and add your favorite toppings. Granola, shaved coconut, fresh or dried fruits, chocolate chips, and nuts are a few of the many tasty options.


3. Popcorn

Popcorn is another wonderful snack that can fill you up fast. You can search for a microwavable brand that doesn't include dairy or pop your own kernels at home. To level up your popcorn, consider adding nutritional yeast, nuts, chocolate, or fun seasonings like taco spices.


4. Burritos

The awesome news is that you don't have to spend hours in the kitchen whipping up vegan burritos anymore. You can buy a variety of delicious flavors like Chik'n FajitaPizzaSteakless RancheroPhilly, and Mexicali already wrapped with high-quality plant-based ingredients. If you're in the mood for some breakfast comfort, you can also opt for meatless sausage, bac'n scramble, protein supreme, or rockin' ranchero.

You can keep these protein-packed burritos in your freezer and heat them up in two minutes whenever you need a boost of energy.


5. Savory or Sweet Hummus

Hummus will always be a vegan snack staple. There are so many savory varieties that you can eat with pita bread, veggies, falafel, and crackers. The latest craze has been giving hummus a sweet flair with flavors like brownie batter and cookie dough that you can pair with graham crackers.


6. Monkey Bread

Anyone who's on the hunt for simple vegan snack recipes has to try making their own monkey bread. Break off small pieces of accidentally-vegan biscuit dough, roll it into a ball, dunk each piece in non-dairy butter, and coat with cinnamon and sugar. You can pile pieces into a muffin tin for convenient servings and bake until golden and firm.


7. Flatbread

Whether you're a fan of vegan cheese or you'd rather pass, there are all kinds of flatbread ideas that are worth trying. You'll have a blast experimenting with different sauces, veggies, fruits, herbs, and plant proteins.
