You shouldn’t have to deal with any worries while enjoying your vacation. Have you been trying to eat healthily? Here are some vegan foods to keep you satisfied without feeling guilty. Pack these snacks along to ensure a headache-free trip.
1- Fresh Fruits and Veggies
It doesn’t get more simple than this. Fresh produce like apples, oranges, and carrots makes a fast and healthy snack to bring with you to any outing.
2- Hummus
Want to add a little protein to your meal? Hummus is a delicious and nutritious addition to any cooler for your trip. Make a wrap or a sandwich with it, or use it as a dip for pita chips or fresh veggies. Look for flavored varieties like red pepper or garlic if you plan to purchase pre-made hummus.
3- Chips and Salsa
Everyone loves chips & dip. When selecting your chips & salsa, look for a vegan variety that doesn’t contain animal products like dairy. Most traditional or restaurant-style tortilla chips should be suitable. Avoid those with cheese flavoring. You can even make your own.
4- Avocado Toast
Wake up to a power breakfast with just a few simple ingredients. With a mashed avocado and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, you can transform a hearty loaf of bread into a gourmet meal to kick-start your morning. You can add other fresh veggies like diced tomatoes, bell peppers, or bean sprouts for more vitamins and nutrition.
5- Granola
Packed with hearty protein and complex carbs, granola can help you keep going during your long days of sightseeing during your vacation. If you are purchasing granola, check the ingredients and avoid those with animal products like honey. Better yet, you can make your own from a variety of recipes so you can customize it however you like. Ingredients like nuts, shredded coconut, and dried fruit give granola added flavor and nutrition.
6- Popcorn
Popcorn is another simple but very versatile snack that is easy to customize. If you want to make your own, start with air-popped popcorn and keep the toppings simple with a little coconut oil and sea salt. Avoid butter if you want to keep it vegan. If you are going to buy ready-to-eat or microwave popcorn, look for vegan-friendly flavors like simply salted or kettle corn.
7- Plant-Based Yogurt
Traditional yogurt is made with milk, which isn’t suitable for vegans. Fortunately, there are plenty of plant-based varieties available made from milk alternatives. Look for a variety that offers almond, oat, or coconut milk options. Top your yogurt with fresh fruit and granola for a delicious and fortifying snack.
8- Graham Crackers
Did you know that graham crackers are vegan? Everyone needs a little sweet treat, especially while on vacation. If you’re looking for a quick snack to fulfill your sweet tooth, look no further. You can even make vegan s’mores with vegan dark chocolate and vegan marshmallows!
Before you leave on your next vacation, take a few minutes to pack things you will need besides vegan foods and snacks. Travel insurance and an extra change of clothes will go a long way in helping you have a successful vacation.
