Quinn Cheezy Filled Pretzel Nuggets
Maggie Ortlieb, Founder & CEO
Reminiscent of the cheese-filled Combos she ate as a kid, the Quinn Cheezy Filled Pretzel Nuggets are what Maggie is snacking on this summer. Unlike Combos or the other cheesy snacks of the past, these pretzel bites are both vegan and gluten-free. They’re such a tasty snack, so it’s easy to eat the whole bag in one day.
Trader Joe’s Organic Tahini
Tammie Ortlieb, Managing Editor
Tammie has been mixing up a homemade tahini dressing to pair with her raw veggies. Her summer go-to ingredients are Trader Joe’s Organic Tahini and fresh vegetables from Imperfect Foods. If you’re a whole food snacker like Tammie, you won’t want to miss out on this delicious combination! VegOut staff vegan summer snacks FTW!
Better Booch Golden Pear
Jerry Ng, Designer
This summer, Jerry is sipping the good stuff! Better Booch Golden Pear is packing the on-the-go bubbles for the season. And it’s the perfect drink for a trip to the beach! This refreshing and effervescent kombucha combines turmeric, tulsi, black pepper, pear, and of course, gut-friendly probiotics. Cheers to a happy and healthy summer!
Beyond Meat Jerky
Allie Mitchell, Social Media Director
The new Beyond Meat Jerky has Allie obsessed! Available in Original, Teriyaki, and Hot & Spicy varieties, these kettle-cooked, plant-based jerkies are a great on-the-go option. The jerky even comes in a resealable bag, although you might not need that function if we’re honest. It’s the perfect protein-packed snack for summer road trips and jaunts across Europe.
Hippie Snacks Cheezy Chive Almond Crisps
Anja Grommons, Staff Writer
Hippie Snacks Cheezy Chive Almond Crisps are my current go-to snack—I seriously cannot put them down. Road trip? They’re riding shotgun. Lake day? They’re packed in my beach bag. They are made with simple ingredients like almonds, so it’s no question that they’re one of my mainstay summer snack faves! And I’m keeping these cheesy crackers with me all season long.
Babybel Plant-Based Cheese
Laurie Chin Sayres, Brand Partnerships Manager
As a lover of vegan cheese, Laurie is all about the Babybel Plant-Based Cheese this summer! These individually wrapped vegan cheeses are great as a stand-alone snack or when paired with crackers, fruit, veggies, or nuts. And the best part is, no cows were harmed in the making of this on-the-go nosh.
Katjes Plant-Based Gummies
Victoria Mitchell, Social Media Manager
ISO a sweet treat to enjoy this summer season? Well, look no further. Katjes Plant-Based Gummies are not only Victoria’s summer snack fave, they are free from all animal ingredients—no gelatin here, folks! Available in Sour, Rainbow, and Love & Stars gummy candy varieties, these sweet treats are always a good choice.
