The Best Vegan Snacks

This Is the Year I'm Going to Snack Smarter, and Here's How

It's January, and the new year has forced me to take a new look at myself and my choices. The combination of wanting to be a bit healthier and being aware of our planet's climate crisis has led me to make a bold choice; I want to eat a more plant-based diet. This might not seem like a big deal to some, but my grandfather was a butcher. Meat, in my family, is a nonnegotiable. Plus, I love meat. In order to ease myself into this lifestyle change, I'm committing to only one meal with meat a day. The easiest areas for me to incorporate vegan food into my diet, hands down, are snacks.

Now, don't misunderstand me: my favourite snack is a meat and cheese board, so this is definitely a challenge. But, I've done my research, and come up with some pretty tasty vegan snacks that I can keep on hand for when hunger hits. The best part is, they can be delivered straight to my door. Happy snacking!

Larabar Gluten Free Bar, Blueberry Muffin

I really rely on protein bars, and I thought swapping to vegan options would be tough, until I realised these Larabar Gluten Free Bars, Blueberry Muffin ($13 for 16) were plant-based. They're delicious, and I love having one in my bag. Larabar has so many different flavours, this just happens to be my favourite.
