Hey guys, it's Ro, I got many questions from you guys about what
snacks I eat during the week, so I went in my pantry, I've looked around and I realized that a lot of the snacks that
I eat are vegan. I myself am NOT vegan
But I always have a ton of people coming over to the house, lots of friends and family and a lot of them are
vegan and as you know my sister, she can't have dairy, so we're always looking for yummy snacks
and I realized you guys, I eat a lot of vegan snacks
so I thought it would be fun to make a video and
share my absolute favorites because I am very picky when it comes to taste, and
texture, and these are my favorite that I have accumulated over the years.
So let's jump into it, my first favorite vegan snack is
Justin's
classic almond butter. I honestly can't remember when I started using almond butter. It's been a few years, but I absolutely
love it. Here's the label on the back. It's a gluten free, vegan, and the U means it's also kosher.
There are only two
ingredients; dry roasted almonds and palm oil.
I like to put almond butter on a bunch of different things, fresh fruit for one;
I like to cut up apple slices, dip them in the almond butter, or it goes really good with fresh bananas.
Banana and almond butter or PB and J's! You can spread some on toast and make a peanut butter and jelly
sandwich. I also like to keep these stocked in the house,
it's the same almond butter, but they come in smaller individual travel size packs. Let me open it up
Look how easy it is you can just plop one of these in your purse when you're on the go
and you can eat it with fresh food or a banana an apple wherever you are. Second snack are these gently dried
organic apples by peeled snacks. I'm really into texture
So they have fully dehydrated apple chips that are really crunchy and crispy and like *crunch crunch crunch*
But I love these because they're almost
foamy they're a little softer, they're only like partially dehydrated and I
love them. Check out the ingredients you guys. There's one ingredient:
organic apples
Yum yum yum yum! The bag is also
resealable so you can open them up have a few snacks, and then snap them closed, and this is what they look like.
Mmm. And they're just a little foamy. Mmm mmm mmm.
Next up in front of me, I have some sweet snacks starting with Gin
Gins. These are chewy ginger candies. These have a very strong ginger flavor
and they're chewy. These have no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. They're gluten, free fat free,
vegan and made with fresh ginger. Next are some sweets by the company Wholesome.
They make a few sweets that I enjoy and this one is organic fruit chews. They are organic, non-GMO,
have no fructose corn syrup. No synthetic colors, vegan and are gluten free.
They are delicious! They are like my new starburst. Then these ones are like my new swedish fish. I love
swedish fish candy,
they are so good, but I tried these, the organic delish fish, and I fell in love
They are organic non-GMO, have no fructose corn syrup. No synthetic colors. They're naturally flavored, vegan,
they're gluten free and fair trade certified.
I'm gonna actually, I'm gonna have one right now! As you can see, it's not a bright red,
it is a naturally flavored red. Made from raspberries!
Wholesome also makes these vegan little fruity bears,
and it's good to know that not all of the sweets that Wholesome makes are vegan,
these are just the ones that are and they're really good. And something really cool about these little bears in particular is that
these snacks are made in a facility free of the top ten food allergens! Moving on to some more sweet snacks,
next we have some cookies and truffles. The cookies that I fell in love with are by
Emmy's, they're Emmy's organics and these ones are coconut vanilla bean cookies and they are delicious.
If you like coconut these are so simple and so yummy. Then for my chocolate fix,
I like these almond truffles by Living Raw. These truffles are organic, raw,
vegan, gluten free, dairy free,
Non-GMO, and they use Fairtrade cacao. They are also delicious.
I am so picky about my sweets and truffles and these taste so good. They're still creamy,
I can't even tell that there's no dairy in it and they love that they're covered with almonds, because it gives it a little bit
of crunch. The next food is sometimes something
I like to have for dinner
but sometimes as, a snack a little comfort snack! If you're feeling like a creamy pasta or
Mac and cheese, but you're vegan I would highly recommend
Trying Annie's homegrown organic, vegan shell pasta and creamy sauce. It's so good,
it's made with pumpkin and sweet potato, it does taste a little bit on the sweet side,
but it's very slight.
But I have to warn you these must be very popular, because every time I go to the store Whole Foods,
It's almost always sold out. In fact the other day,
I had to climb, like scale the shelves, it was on the top shelf and there's only one box left
and I had to stretch so far my little *stretching noises.*
And got it! On to the next snack, speaking of cheese
We have vegan Cheez-its, basically, and these are so good. They're by Earth Balance
They are vegan, non-GMO and kosher. Oh. My. Gosh, you guys. These I originally found at Starbucks
I didn't know what they were, I was reading the label and I saw that they were
Gluten-free, kosher, vegan and non-GMO, and I thought this is a snack that my sister and I can eat,
let's give it a try. They are organic chickpea puffs, called Hippeas. They kind of look like little cheeto puffs.
The last snack that I wanted to share with you guys today is a little bit different,
So I saved it for the end, because technically it does not have a sticker on the packaging saying that it's vegan,
but all of the ingredients
are vegan and a lot of my vegan friends eat these, and so I wanted a little bit more information, I went to their website,
did some more research and they did confirm that these are indeed vegan.
But they are made on shared equipment that sometimes uses non-vegan ingredients, so that made a lot of sense.
It's also good to note that the website said that the lightly salted snap pea crisps are made with vegan ingredients
But their other flavors like wasabi,
ranch or caesar, are made with dairy. Alright that does it for all of my favorite vegan snacks,
let me know in the comments below if you have any favorite vegan snacks that I should check out. If you're interested in trying any
of these snacks, for any of them that I can find links, I will put the links down below. Alright you guys,
I hope you enjoyed the video bye-bye!
