my favorite snacks lately
Posted by Alicia Silverstone on Mar 22, 2011

 

Sometimes, I get snacky, and need something sweet or refreshing. Here are some of my favorite snacks lately:

carob

Carob ChipsSunspire makes good dark chocolate vegan chips. You can have a nice little half a handful of those when you’re feeling spunky and have no dessert in the house. I recommend them as a dessert snack!

Mango

Dried Mango - Those guys are so good; they’re like candy. I cant stop eating them!

Cucumber Water

Cucumber Water – Cutting up cucumber and putting it into water is a lovely and refreshing way to stay hydrated.

Artichoke

A good, old-fashioned artichoke – they’re not in season right now, but I think they're coming soon! They’re so good!
 
What are your favorite snacks?

Dried mangos or pineapple, Annies Homegrown stuff and either Kashi or Envirokidz bars!

Raw fruits and veggie (I always have homemade hummus in the fridge too...love it with raw veggies for a snack), nuts, seeds and raisins too.  I make my own cereal too with lots of good ingredients and sometimes I'll have just a small cup of it with a little nut milk.   I also like the fruit juice bars.  Trader Joe's has some really good ones and they aren't too high in calories.

I'm also addicted to dried mango, I can't even keep them in the house because I will eat the entire bag in one sitting if it's near me lol.

my whole family LOVES artichokes .. i made up a delish dip to eat with them .. here goes .. 1/2 cup veganaise, 1/3 fresh lemon squeezed, 1 pod fresh pressed garlic, dash of the following spices: yellow curry, paprika, and red pepper .. so easy and i promise, even your non-vegan peeps will LOVE this! .. oh, and i boil/steam my artichokes in about an inch of water seasoned with olive oil, fresh lemon, sea salt, and 1 tsp. herb de provence 

 

 

I love dried mangos! :) 

In the Philippines, we have an organic farm. When mango season comes we dry our own mangos. It's really lovely. We send them to friends & family during the holidays as little presents.

Throughout the year we also dry our own bananas. They're delicious alone or dipped in melted chocolate or almond butter. Definitely worth a try. :) 

My other favorite snack is "banana ice cream" - frozen bananas put through a juicer.

Wow! Some of these suggestions are amazing! I've been wanting to make kale chips forever! That banana ice cream idea sounds awesome! Also, caramelized onion hummus...hello! YUM! I love hummus. Always have some made. Alicia's cucumber water sound great too.

My fave quick snack is frozen mangos from Trader Joe's or frozen green grapes. Frozen grapes are like candy! I swear..amazing!

Also, love Coconut Bliss Nake Coconut Bars every once in a while. What a treat!
