Get your nosh on with these plant-based bites!
It’s that time of year when you grab the snacks and head to the beach, the park, the game, the pool, or any place outside. But not just any snacks will do. You want great taste, and you want it plant-based! So we’re here to help with that. The next time you leave home, tuck these tasty eats into your bag. Because these are our favorite vegan snacks for summer 2025!
Why Choose Vegan Snacks?
Choosing vegan snacks means reducing your impact on the planet, eliminating harm to animals, and being kinder to your health. Vegan foods are more sustainable than their animal-based counterparts. Plant-based snack options require less water, land usage, and fertilizers to produce. In addition, common snack items contain ingredients derived from animals. Think gelatin, whey, honey, and carmine (a red dye derived from insects). By choosing vegan snacks, you will not only be kinder to animals, but you will also be kinder to yourself and your health. Vegan snacks are generally lower in saturated fats and cholesterol than meat-centric snacks. They may come packed with fruits and veggies, ensuring vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and others. So, now that you know some of the benefits of vegan snacks, let’s explore the variety of options out there to choose from.
What Common Snack Foods Are Vegan?
Common vegan snack foods include chips, pretzels, fruit squeezes, cookies, nuts, trail mix, and more. Keep it simple with cut veggies and dip, hummus and pita, or crackers straight from the box. You can even uplevel your snacking game by purchasing from sustainable brands that incorporate ethical business practices. Many vegan brands also craft their products with clean, whole-food ingredients. Also, some mainstream companies offer accidentally vegan snack options (ahem, Oreos!). But to save you time in your search (because you’ve got snacking to do!) we’ve listed a few of our favorite vegan snacks for summer 2025. Happy noshing!
Mamma Chia
