There’s nothing like nature’s goodness for a healthy does of complex-carbs, protein and good fats. BUT, did you know a Plant-based diet can also help the Earth? Leading scientific researchers published a report in The Lancet that looked at the links between diet, the environment, and human health. They found that simple choices we make every day can have profound positive effects! After reviewing the evidence, they concluded that a shift toward plant foods can go a long way in promoting human health and the health of our planet.
So in a day and age where fatty, processed foods are the norm, eating more healthy plant-based snacks is a smart move. Here are a few healthy and plant based snacks to keep you fueled throughout the day. Some of these may need cold storage, so an insulated lunch bag will let you keep these babies right at your desk, or keep them in the break room fridge.
- Roasted Chickpeas
- Smoothie
- Planted Based Snack Bars
- Dried or Fresh Fruit
- Veggie Chips – For example, sweet potato chips, kale chips and roasted seaweed can satisfy your savory cravings minus the guilt.
- Veggies – Veggies and hummus or other healthy dip (Unlimited raw or lightly steamed non-starchy veggies and measure out 2 tbsp of hummus)
- Celery/Carrots with nut or seed butter (Unlimited veggies, but keep it to 1 tbsp nut/seed butter)
- Popcorn – add your favor spice for additional flavoring
- Tofu – yes really tofu. It is a great source of protein. Put off by the texture, try it in the form of tofu jerky or tofu chips.
