Reddit mentions: The best vegetable chips & crisps

• Tea. Okay, I know people talk about tea a lot... but I drink a cup pretty much every day now and it's SO great for making me feel full and satisfied. Plus it helps me get more water into my day.
  
  
• Veggie chips. I eat this kind and I love them. My 200-calorie portion feels big!
  
  
• Green beans, broccoli and cauliflower - all vegetables that I find to be very filling. I tried green beans with butter, garlic and lemon zest recently and it was a game changer. I could eat those for an entire meal.
  
  
• Crispy onion salad toppers - something like this. I throw these on all my salads, and as long as you keep the portion under control, they don't add a ton of calories. And they REALLY improve the taste of the salad (and they are delightfully crunchy).

If you're using myfitnesspal app check out the "nutrition" section, then tap on "macros." That'll show you your macros based on your height/weight. I'm a 5'5" woman and it recommends 23 grams of protein on a 1200 diet. You can also customize and set your own goals if you wish.


It really does help! I've been eating more cheese, almonds and little dry-cured chicken sausages to supplement when I'm low on protein, cheese also has a nice amount of fat too. (Make sure you weigh it though!)


Also these little beauties if you can find them: https://www.amazon.ca/Simply7-Quinoa-Chips-Cheddar-3-5-Ounce/dp/B00GNXVBP6


These have something like 7 grams of protein per 130 cal serving and they're freaking delicious to boot. You could just eat Quinoa for a better nutritional package, these are just one of the best high-protein snacks I've ever found. I'm in Canada and found them at bulk barn.

Protein powders, though I don't bother with it anymore after researching protein needs(look up some vegan body builders on youtube). Youll have to order this online.

Gardeins Crispy Tenders and Chik'n Strips are where its at. The strips work well in enchiladas, chicken wraps, etc (I usually toss the sauce packet out).

Bocas Chik'n patties are really good chicken patties.

You should be able to find those chickn products in grocery stores. Good luck!

Bonus: Follow Your Heart mozarella cheese. Great for everything you want cheese on. Avoid daiya is my suggestion blech.

My wife cooks from Hotforfood recipes, pretty bomb. I would look there for recipe ideas.

Snapea Crisps. They do contain oil and rice flour but they have a TON of fiber and protein and a respectable amount of iron. They're my favorite chip/snack of all time. Soooo delicious.

The veggie chips I actually got from Winco --- which I think is just in OR, WA, and ID --- but these are the broccoli things I got yesterday --- they were actually $1.99 at our local store! They had a few other little veggie snacks - the green beans, carrots, and peas!
It looks like these on Amazon are almost exactly what I got. I guess they don't have great reviews, but I think they're really good, lol. They're not super salty, and the sweet potato makes them a little sweet-ish tasting, if that makes sense.

I'm exactly the same way. You say no to dessert and everyone looks at you like you've got toes growing out of your face. Anyways, all the suggestions in here are some of my favorite snacks. I also love veggies and hummus. These are my favorite chips. They might be an acquired taste but I think they're delicious!

Alive and Radiant kale chips are awesome. Any flavor is good, but I really like the "cheesy" ones. http://www.amazon.com/Alive-Radiant-Krunch-Cheezy-Chipotle/dp/B00C2BGTFA/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1405016797&sr=8-7&keywords=alive+and+radiant+kale+chips

Hi! I’ve recently rejoined and am also trying to stick to mainly plant based (transitioning to Whole food plant-based but not there yet).
On a daily basis, snacks consist of a lot of fruit, but I’ve also picked up mini pitas from aldi to dip in pb2 when I’m wanting something more substantial (5 pitas for 3 points) and Enlightened makes these little bean snacks for 2 points that really hit the salty cravings!

If you live in the US these are really yummy and better for you than Mcdonalds. A bag is 45g protein and 450 calories. Bags are around $4 or less, at least where I live.

I think the easiest thing is to just keep it simple. Veggies and hummus are some of my favorite. These are really delicious if you like a good crunch. I also recommend this but only if you buy them in the store. The amazon price is totally ridiculous.

I love chips, and I frequently will eat these. Good amount of fiber and protein, and they are low in calories.

> I'm 99% sure this restaurant is Masti in Atlanta. They serve fried far far in little silver dishes like this. They might be shaped in tubes, or a little stars like this:

I bought a few bags of these and they last fprever, and taste amazing!

quest bars, jerky, I just grabbed some edamame packs for travel - haven't tried them yet.

You could also try bringing some low or no carb protein powder like Isopure Vanilla along with a water bottle that has a wide mouth, so you can pour the protein powder in, add some water and shake it up. Or, even better, one of those cups that has a battery powered blender in it.

Edited after seeing imhere2's note - if you can mix the powder with the almond milk that doesn't need refrigeration, that would be even better!

That's because it is.

If you get the chance, try this as well. If you're bananas for bananas, you'll wonder where these have been all your life.

For snacks, I like these broccoli “chips”. For cooking ingredients that I can’t find in my local stores, I just ordered this sugar-free Nutella to add to my chia pudding, and this keto maple syrup to experiment with some mug cakes.

I do the same thing, I'm looking for a change too, I'm currently hauling protein bars and fruit in a small messenger bag.
bars
veggie chips
Bananas
Apples
Clementines
Celery and carrots

As well most cured meat would be okay, like salami and hams, if you like cold cuts

I'm cutting weight though so I may be biased

Here's some new vegan sunflower chips I'm a fan of.

These are Fiery Sriracha and might tickle your Spicy tastebud :)

This jerky because it’s individually wrapped and only 50 cals per pack

My office has a few healthy snacks in the kitchen that I stash at my desk for munchy days:

Eda-Zen Cruncha ma-me Edamame Veggie Snack, Lightly Seasoned

SkinnyPop Popcorn

Apples or bananas with almond butter

Trader Joe’s lightly salted almonds

some latino-based supermkts have a drink thats sold here... The drink is called Banana Tropical. Its awesome. Add platain chips called Zambos... (I didnt know they were made in El Salvador.. anyways) and youre good to go. This combo right here.... takes you wayyyy back.... including folks 40+ yrs old. It works with kids 5+ too, so dont worry.

You might say.. .well wtf they eat everything plantains and banana... .not exactly true. Its the taste an the feeling. Believe me.

Warning: Dont buy Long necked bottles as they are mexican. No pun intended. So no fanta-banana or anything resembling it.

It has to be like the one in the picture I provided: "Tropical" bottle. Yes its glass.

Edit and some walmart/amazon links: Another picture of the bottle. Anyways you can cut some corners and ge a coke and some similar chips1 chips2 chips3 chips4

Edit#2: Some [other online store form NYC] (https://www.zocalofoods.com/collections/snacks-honduras).

Veggie Straws, Snapea Crisps, Matcha green tea, Various Fruits and Veggies, Occasionally a Diet Soda, Low fat Popcorn, It often varies on what sounds good the night before when I am prepping.

Apples (I'll leave just a whole one in there), roasted broad beans, protein bars (but I leave those more for if I miss a whole meal rather than a snack), sunflower seeds could be good since they're time consuming to eat.

Yum

You can get them roasted or freeze dried!
