14 Vegan Simple, Cheap & Healthy Snack Ideas From Your Trusted Vegan Personal Trainer

Quick, Easy, Cheap and of course Vegan, Snack Ideas For Any Time of Day - Suggested by a Vegan Personal Trainer Who Loves Simply & Healthy!

I'm not trying to be clever here, or even veer off the beaten track. Just some simple, basic ideas to get you munching in a healthy way and in a Vegan way.

One of the big barriers to healthy eating is people often not having some ideas in their mind-bank for healthy snacks, that they can conjure up without much effort and with minimum time.

Vegan Personal Trainer Quick & Easy Vegan Snack Ideas. Please No Eye Rolling - I Told You They'd Be Basic

1) Hummus This is a pretty flexible choice, and the number one go to for Vegans.

You can have bread with it, crackers or even better some nice fresh carrots or peppers or celery. The options are endless.

Even the type and style of hummus varies these days so you won't have any problems keeping this snack choice fresh, fun, cheap and easy.

You can even make your own. Obviously that removes the 'easy' part but increased the cheaper part.

2) Porridge - I love this option, especially in winter, it's the perfect warmer to get you out of bed with a coffee.

Add some nuts or chia seeds for extra protein. Throw in some cut fruit, for extra sweetness. Maybe a bit of cinnamon powder and some plant-based milk. Again, super cheap, versatile and super easy.

If I want a great way to increase my protein, I sometimes throw in some pea protein powder.

3) Nuts - I keep a jar on the side, often of mixed nuts and I take 1 or 2 handfuls a day. No fuss tasty snack. Great protein.

I really love the ease about nuts. You can carry them with you and snack at the desk at work.

Salted and roasted are extra yum.

4) Smoothie - Popular fruit and veg for smoothies include apples, bananas, spinach, carrots and berries. Buy a cheap blender online (the type that you can carry the bottle with you straight after) for very limited effort and a speedy healthy snack.

Some people like putting in plant-based milk but water is fine too, depending on the ingredients you like. There are thousands of recipes online so get exploring or be creative.

My favourite is frozen berries, pea protein and plant-based milk.

5) Fruit - Obvious but rarely utilised, the power of picking up a fruit!

Bananas are my fruit of choice as well as apples and berries but I try to also eat what's in season and reduce my packaging, whilst keeping the fruit bowl varied.

6) Dried Fruit

Raisins? Anyone?

7) Vegetables - No hummus required, I simply grab a carrot and go. Or chomp on a red pepper. Does anyone else do that?

8) Vegan Yoghurt - The vegan yoghurt brand that comes to mind is Alpro but thankfully the supermarkets are catching up with this demand - and there are plenty of other yummy vegan options now too.

Half a pot of yoghurt, some berries on top and some chia seeds - delicious.

9) Avocado Smash on Sourdough Bread - So easy and equally amazing.

I usually eat avocados by themselves, a little olive oil and a little salt.

10) Chia Seed Pudding - so many creative ideas to be found online (otherwise just add plant based milk and some cocoa powder!)

11) Peanut Butter or Other Nut Butter - Straight out of the tub. I sometimes like to cut apples up and spread some nut butter on.

12) Salted Edamame - another great protein source.

13) Dark chocolate - believe it or not there are lots of health benefits to be found here.

14) Sheeted Seaweed Crisps - Absolutely love these.

There you go, some healthy, personal trainer endorsed, Vegan plant-based snack options. Cheap & cheerful.

Enjoy!
