    10 Healthy Vegan Snack Ideas

    May 19, 2015 • Snacks, Wellness & Lifestyle

    10 Healthy Vegan Snack Ideas - simple, plant based, wholesome snacks to keep you energized and on track! From The Glowing Fridge

    Our personal eating habits are a direct reflection of what foods we keep in the kitchen. It’s amazing how we can transform our food choices, simply by not buying the junk (!!) and instead embracing an abundance of plant foods. If there’s no junk in your pantry or your hidden stash, you won’t experience the feelings of temptation. 

    Healthy choices start in the grocery store. For me, I like to pretend that I do all of my shopping at Whole Foods. It’s basically a dreamland for anyone, but especially plant based vegans and is probably my favorite place, ever. I feel healthier just by being there!! I don’t buy all of my groceries from there quite yet – only the special superfood or vegan items I can’t find anywhere else, along with the 10 other things I didn’t plan on buying, but had to have. Must be the abundance of organic everything and fancy gourmet goodies that are actually vegan! Anyone else?!!! I know you’re obsessed too..

    With Whole Foods being the epitome of all things fresh and healthy, all those special vegan treats and goodies can be loaded with fat and unnecessary oils. I’ve been making a conscious effort to follow this low fat, high carb plant based diet (without stressing about it though) because it allows me to feel my absolute best, eat unlimited amounts of food and maintain my weight without paying attention to calories, portions etc. You can just be. There is no other lifestyle like that! 

    Next time you’re at the store, keep these snacks in mind because it’s easy to grab a not-so-healthy quick fix for a lil’ snackie, but it’s imperative that we love our bodies too with wholesome foods. It’s all about consistency. Sure I promote balance and allow treats like a couple ‘Chocolate Covered Brownie Pops‘ when they’re calling my name 😉 but of course,  I feel so much better when I stay on track with healthy snacks instead.

    So here are ’10 Healthy Vegan Snack Ideas’ for whenever you are feeling stuck and so not motivated. You will love them!!

     

    1) FROZEN GRAPES: 
    Can be described as, a perfectly refreshing summer time snack. They taste like candy! P.S. >> I’ve been known to add frozen grapes to a glass of wine, on occasion 😉

    2) RAWNOLA CEREAL: 
    Pour some almond milk over 1/2 cup of this no-bake Chewy ‘Rawnola‘ and you’re golden. Plus, it’s naturally sweetened with gooey medjool dates, also known as nature’s candy. This makes it okay to eat breakfast at any time of the day.

    3) MIXED BERRIES WITH CINNAMON SPRINKLES: 
    Add 1 cup of your favorite berries to a bowl. Smashing them with a fork is totally optional. Sprinkle on lots of ground saigon cinnamon. This will satisfy your sweet tooth and balance your blood sugar, all while packing in a mega dose of antioxidants.

    4) SMOOTHIES (sometimes served in bowls): 
    Vegan smoothies are filling, nourishing, packed with energizing plant foods and.. they’re good for the soul 🙂 Try the Bikini Ready Green Detox Smoothie or the Energizing Green Smoothie Bowl and get your greens in! Smoothie Bowls are amazing because you can add extra goodness from your favorite superfood toppings. You may be wondering, why would I sip my smoothie from a bowl?!! Smoothie bowls typically have a thicker consistency than a regular smoothie, making it fun to scoop up, along with crunchy toppings. Smoothie bowls feel more substantial to me, like an actual meal – because most regular smoothies don’t keep me full for long. Try it out!

    5) RAW VEGAN “CARAMEL” APPLE COOKIES: Last fall, I wanted to indulge in a vegan-friendly caramel apple. Then this raw vegan creation happened. One of my all-time favorite snacks. Crunchy Apple Slices smeared or dipped into “Date Caramel” plus your favorite toppings! YUM.

    6) KALE CHIPS: For a salty craving, kale chips are the way to go. You can find them almost anywhere now, in all kinds of flavors. I prefer homemade but have yet to share a recipe for Kale Chips here on the blog, so here’s 15 recipes for you to try! Use the least amount of oil possible, if the recipe calls for it. Read more about oils here.

    7) POPSICLES: How about some Mango Ginger Popsicles to brighten your day?! These creamy frozen pops really hit the spot. Refreshing, zingy and super simple to make.

    8) OIL-FREE BAKED SWEET POTATO FRIES: Such a simple classic, but there’s nothing better than sweet potato fries – and no oil needed for this recipe from Brandi of The Vegan 8!

    9) ROSY GLOW REFRESHER JUICE: A vibrant afternoon pick me up or morning snack. With beets, carrots, apple, ginger and lime, this refreshing juice is amazing for glowing skin and keeps all the fiber, vitamins and minerals in, instead of juicing them out.

    10) SPICY BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER POPCORN: Seriously, RawManda is genius! Her creative recipes show us that eating a raw food diet can be so tasty and beyond healthy. This spicy popcorn would be a yummy snack on the go or in place of popcorn for movie night.

      hi, I have looked at many of your meals you have put on your blog and i hope they will help me cure my stomach pain. I have had stomach pain for years and years. Nothing has helped. Do you have any ideas for any food that might help?

      The mango ginger popsicles look so enticing. Thanks to the hot weather, I’ve been looking for something that’s icy cold that’s healthy.

    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

    what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy skin & hair, and to be a patient mama 🖤

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

- breakfast tacos with pastured eggs
- collagen king coffee ☁️ 
- leftover homemade chicken fried rice 
- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans
- my homemade tahini maple cookies (I have a reel with the recipe!!) but I’m truly addicted 🍪 
- always sipping on @gerolsteiner_usa 💧

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

Want more info? DM me “king” and I’ll send you the deets 🤍🤍🤍

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
