Healthy Vegetarian Snacks in a Jar

Vegetarian smoothies on the go are also a great idea, like the Mango Lime Hot Pepper Smoothie . Blend the following for 2 smoothies.
juice from 1 lime 1 banana 1 mango, peeled and pit removed 1/2 jalapeno 1.5 cups water and 1 cup ice 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed 1 tablespoon hemp protein 1 tablespoon agave nectar 1 tablespoon hemp oil or EFA oil blend

Healthy Vegetarian Snack Ideas
You can always pack healthy vegetarian snacks like baba ganoush or hummus, but if you want something simpler, here’s the way to go. Pack your lunch box with veggies and a yogurt dip or satisfy your cravings with roasted chick peas with salt and vinegar. Herbed cashews are a great snacking option along with kettle corn and almond crunch kale chips or baked kale chips. Make you own granola to make sure all the ingredients are organic and natural.
If you don’t have time to prepare your own snacks in advance, you can try certified plant-based food bars like the Raw Revolution Bar, Organic Food Bar, Vega Bars, Pure Organic Bar and MacroBar.
You can also try healthy options like the Mary’s Gone Crackers gluten-free and vegan crackers, Food Should Taste Good chips or We Can’t Say It’s Cheese spreads.
Best Healthy Vegetarian Snack: Energy Balls
Also called raw donut holes, home made energy balls are an excellent idea for a vegetarian snack you can eat throughout the day. Start with the right base and add your favorite ingredients for the best taste.
12 pitted medjool dates 1/2 cup cashews 1 cup coconut flakes 2 tablespoon almond or coconut butter
Once you’ve got your base, you can add one or two extras, from goji berries and raisins to sunflower seeds or carob powder or plant based protein powder.
