When you're running late for class, the last thing you want to worry about is finding a healthy vegan snack to keep you going until your next meal. Fortunately, there are plenty of quick and easy vegan snacks that you can make in just a few minutes.

One of the simplest options is a fruit and nut butter wrap. Just take a tortilla, spread some nut butter on it, and add slices of your favorite fruit, such as banana or apple. Another great option is homemade trail mix. Combine a handful of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit in a reusable container, and you'll have a portable snack that's perfect for munching on between classes.

For a more savory option, try making your own hummus and veggies snack box. Simply pack some pre-cut vegetables, such as carrots and bell peppers, with a small container of homemade hummus for dipping.

These snacks are not only convenient and portable, but also packed with nutrients to keep you fueled and focused throughout the day.

Sweet Treats

Sometimes, you just need a little something sweet to get you through the day. Fortunately, there are plenty of vegan options that can satisfy your sweet tooth without compromising your health.

One of the simplest options is a homemade energy ball. All you need is some nuts, dates, and other ingredients of your choice, such as cocoa powder or coconut flakes. Simply mix everything together in a food processor, roll the mixture into balls, and store them in the fridge for a quick and easy snack.

Another great option is banana ice cream, which is made by blending frozen bananas with a little bit of non-dairy milk until you get a creamy texture. You can also experiment with adding other ingredients, such as peanut butter or cocoa powder, for different flavors.

For a more indulgent treat, try making vegan chocolate pudding. All you need is some avocado, cocoa powder, and a natural sweetener, such as maple syrup. Blend everything together in a food processor until you get a smooth, creamy texture, and enjoy!

By using natural sweeteners like maple syrup and dates, you can satisfy your sweet tooth without consuming refined sugar, which can cause energy crashes and other health issues.
