The 13 Best Vegan Snacks
Easy Vegan Snacks for a Quick Hunger Fix
Though most people understand vegan diets to be difficult, there are plenty of options to ensure they're really not. All of the below are great snacking foods for vegans, and—bonus!—some of them are gluten-free as well. Of course, packaging facilities and recipes vary, so be sure to read all the ingredients on a snack before diving right in.
1) Lindt Excellence Bar, 85% Cocoa Extra Dark Chocolate
Lindt
amazon.com
The higher the cocoa percentage, the less you have to worry about whether or not you're eating vegan. To be safe, start super high (in the 70s, 80s, or even 90s). Enjoy!
2) Garlic & Herb Pita Chips
365 Everyday Value
amazon.com
Just about anything that comes from 365 Everyday Value is delicious, these pita chips being no exception.
3) Sabra Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
4) Justin's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
shop.justins.com
If you were to call these super rich bites "healthy," it wouldn't be so far of a stretch. The fact that they are (1) vegan, (2) made with organic peanut butter, and (3) covered in Rainforest Alliance-certified chocolate doesn't hurt either.
Pizootz Flavor Infused Premium Virginia Artisan Peanuts
BUY NOW $6.49, cvs.com
Peanuts (and all nuts, really) are an excellent, filling snack for vegans, but you don't need to resign yourself to eating flavorless ones. These come in four flavors: baja taco, sea salt and cracked pepper, inferno, and habanero.
6) Soft Pretzel Bites

You might suspect what makes soft pretzels delicious (butter, for one) would mean they're not delicious without it. Au contraire, my friend. These are great. And are there three more beautiful words in the English language than "salt packet included?"
7) Annie's Organic Chewy Granola Bars, Oatmeal Raisin
Annie's
luckyvitamin.com
A lot of things Annie's makes are either gluten-free or vegan—these fall into the latter category. A solid breakfast choice, TBH.
8) Chloe's Soft Serve Fruit Pop, Strawberry
9) McCormick Bac'n Pieces, Bacon Flavored Bits
McCormick
mccormick.com
Yes! I know you wouldn't think bacon bits would be vegan, and I know you wouldn't believe me when I tell you they are, and I know you don't think bac'n pieces qualify as a snack in and of themselves, but...they are! And they are! And they are!!!
11) BelVita Blueberry Breakfast Biscuits
BelVita

BelVita makes a bunch of vegan-friendly biscuit-y options, but these are a good place to start. The blueberry flavor is just *chef's kiss.*
12) Brussel Sprouts Puffs

Come on. You're at least a little bit curious about Brussels sprout puffs. You know you are.
13) Sour Patch Kids Soft & Chewy Candy
Did you know every candy you ever loved is vegan?
