So you want your vegan snack to be easy, hassle-free, and not one of the most complicated and time-consuming recipes on the planet! Even better, preferably something you can put together in less than 5-10 minutes. Below is a list of some tasty, quick and easy vegan snack recipes and food ideas to help make your life a little easier.
Popcorn
It’s a tasty and fairly low-calorie snack that can be ready to eat in less than 10 minutes. It’s perfect if you’re craving something a little salty. Place 2 tablespoons olive oil and ¼ cup popcorn in a large saucepan. Cover with a lid and cook the popcorn on a middle flame, making sure you’re shaking constantly. Just when you think it’s not working, keep holding it for another minute or two and it will start popping. When the popping stops, remove from heat and place in a large bowl. Add plenty of salt to taste and, if desired, drizzle ¼ cup to ½ cup of melted coconut oil. if you have a craving Sweet popcorn, add a little maple syrup to the coconut oil, about ½ cups, or to taste
Vegan snacks in 5 minutes or less
Here’s a list of basically ‘does not require preparation Vegan snack ideas you can eat anytime:
Trail mix: Nuts, dried fruit and vegan chocolate chips.
Fruit chunks with almond butter, peanut butter, or vegan chocolate spread
Vegan frozen cake, muffin, brownie or slice you made over the weekend
Vegetable sticks (carrots, celery, cucumber, etc.) with a vegan dip (homemade or purchased) such as hummus or beetroot dip. (Watch out for store-bought ingredients.)

Fresh fruit
The health benefits of eating fresh fruit every day should not be minimized. So make sure you enjoy yourself a little season’s fruit as one of your daily vegan snacks. Chop up your favorite fruit and make a quick and easy fruit salad, adding a little squeezed orange juice to make a nice juicy dressing. Serve with a little soy or coconut milk. yoghurt vegan gold frozen if you like, and top it with some tasty toasted walnuts or almonds to make it a nutritious snack.
vegan cake
If you are tired or very busy during the week, I recommend setting aside a few hours on the weekends for baking. Bake one or two delicious vegan snack recipes to last you all week and freeze them in portions. Find some easy vegan (or gourmet if you like) cake, muffin, brownie or slice recipes that look delicious and you know will satisfy your weekday snack cravings. You should search online or buy some vegan recipe ebooks to find beautiful vegan baking recipes that will keep you happy whenever snack time rolls around! Who doesn’t look forward to their piece of cake from time to time? And remember, if the ingredients you put are healthy, you can enjoy your vegan cake or muffins on a more regular basis, without feeling guilty!
vegan health slice
Again, if you bake it on the weekends, you won’t have to make your morning and afternoon tea during the week. There are so many delicious recipes today for vegan health slices. There are Apple Crumble Slices, Oatmeal Pecan Slices, Dried Fruit Slices, Blueberry Slices, Chocolate Brownie Slices and many more delicious recipes. Why not bake up a different vegan slice every weekend? This will prevent your vegan snacks from becoming boring.
As you can see, your vegan snacks can be very quick and easy to prepare. And it’s always a really good habit to pick up vegan baking on the weekend so your mid-week snacks can be without complications!
