In recent years there has been an increase in popularity of the vegan diet , as more and more people have become aware of the impact that food has on our bodies and the environment. A vegan-friendly product must in fact exclude ingredients of animal origin such as meat, dairy products and eggs, reducing the carbon footprint associated with livestock farming, to conserve water and land resources. It is often believed that vegan products do not taste good, however, many food companies have started to design products in line with the requests and needs of those who follow a vegan diet, to guarantee health benefits combined with a delicious taste .
The choice to select vegan snacks is also due to their nutritional intake, plant-based foods are in fact rich in essential vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants, which contribute to a balanced and healthy diet.
Which snack can I choose?
Unlike what you might think, vegan nutrition offers a great variety of products and recipes : from savory to sweet, crunchy to soft. First of all, you can create a division between the snacks that you can prepare comfortably (and easily) from your own kitchen and those that you have to buy instead.
