‘Elevenses’ was the term they came up with to describe that grumbly tummy feeling you get around 11am. You know, a few hours after a quick breakfast of like, a banana and coffee, but two hours before your lunch break. You’re hungry and realise lunch is just around the corner, but if you don’t eat something right now, you’re going to be a full-on grump until you get your mid-day meal.
Or maybe your slump happens after lunch: you’ve been in the office all day, and know you'll never get out of there on time. Which means dinner seems very far away indeed…
It’s not just us, either: kids get hungry between meals too. Unfortunately, no matter what the age, the easiest snacks to go for are often pure crap. That’s right, I said it. Most chocolate bars, bags of chips/crisps/whatever you want to call them (depending on your accent and continent), packaged cakes (or anything that comes wrapped, in fact) barely even qualifies as ‘food.’ It’s time to take control over our own health and make our own snacks at home.
Whether you like your snacks sweet or savoury, low GI or gluten free or a combination of all of these, there’s surely something for you below. Some of them can even be combined: think crackers with hummus, apple slices with chocolate dip, and so on. But mainly, I just selected these healthy vegan snack recipes because they all tasted amazing!
