The Ultimate Guide to Vegan Snacks for Weight Loss

Weight loss is never an easy journey. If you meet someone who tells you it is, they’re lying… Unless they’re not… ✨ Tell us their secrets ✨

Moving on. One collective thing that can make any weight loss journey a little easier is snacks. Finding healthy snacks you like could be the reason why you end up enjoying (or maybe tolerating) your weight loss diet. 

Let’s get one thing straight. We know fresh fruits and veggies make wonderful snacks whether you’re trying to lose weight or not. So we aren’t going to include them in our list. The list we’re making is going to be helpful for those with certain cravings. Want a bar of chocolate? We’ll recommend something better than just pure indulgence in a wrapper. 

Our must-tries will include everything from low-calorie vegan snacks to high-protein ones. We promise they’ll all taste great!

Best Low-Calorie Vegan Snacks

Mini Popcorn by Pipcorn 

Popcorn has always been a tasty and quick vegan snack. Period. That’s why athletes like Stephen Curry have been known to snack on them before, during, and even after games. Hey if they’re good enough for the greatest shooter of all time, then they must be for us! 2.5 cups of Pipcorn’s Mini Popcorn will only be 135 calories. They’ll satisfy those crisp, crunchy, and salty cravings with no problem! They come in a sea salt flavor and a truffle flavor if you want a little extra. 

Sour Blast Buddies Gummy Candies by Smart Sweets

Sweets don’t often come to mind when talking about healthy vegan snacks for weight loss. While we do agree, there are times when we can’t resist our sugar cravings and we go looking for alternatives. That’s where Smart Sweets’ Sour Blast Buddies Gummy Candies come in. They’re only 80 calories for the whole bag and only 3 grams of sugar. You even get 28 grams of fiber. This is how you can be smarter about your indulgences! 

Popped Water Lily Seeds by AshaPops

One entire bag of AshaPops’ Popped Water Lily Seeds is only 60 calories! This low-calorie vegan snack doesn’t taste like it. It comes in this ridiculously tasty vegan cheese flavor, making it a fantastic snack no matter the occasion - even on movie nights. Plus, water lily seeds are super good superfoods! So nothing makes for a healthy, quick vegan snack like this one. We take along a pack of this when we go on hikes and treks, too.

High Protein and Low Carb Vegan Snacks

Original Ancient Grain Granola by Purely Elizabeth

Purely Elizabeth’s Original Ancient Grain Granola is made with non-GMO ingredients and is gluten-free. It’s also low-carb! We know most of you would have a bowl of this for breakfast, but feel free to have this as a healthy snack! Here’s a little tip. If you're going to a late-night shindig, it’s best to have a little something before you go. You never know when they’ll actually serve dinner and having a somewhat satisfied belly will keep munchies away.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Protein Bars by Bhu Fit

If you’re trying to lose weight, chances are you’re trying to get or add some protein to your diet. Taking in more protein is said to help with satiety - which is good because you don’t want to keep snacking unnecessarily. Bhu Fit’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Protein Bars are unassuming veg snacks for weight loss as they contain as much as 14g of plant protein each. Plus, these high-protein bars are also low-carb vegan snacks! These satisfy chocolate and sweet cravings in no time.

Protein Shakes by Owyn

Can a beverage be considered as a snack? Only if you want it to be! Owyn’s Protein Shakes can satisfy and deliver half the daily required Omega 3. They’re also only 180 calories a bottle. As for protein, each bottle packs as much as 20 grams of it! Have a “snack” before your workout or have some throughout the day to ideally keep your hunger in check, all the while getting in some essential protein. These shakes come in different flavors. You can easily have a different one a day and never get tired of it!
