The room-temperature snack.

New Vegan, here and I have a serious hole in my first two weeks into giving up genocide. I need something that fills the niche of nabs, Lance peanut butter and toast"chee" crackers.

I’m a mechanic with a strict schedule, and I will need a snack of that calibur at 7:30am mid-way through my morning workday, lest I get hunger pains, distracted by it, and a little bit pissy over the entire situation.

Chips, for me are the only thing I don’t really consider any sort of solution to my hunger. I need calories so I can go-go-go. Chips are kinda hollow to me as utility goes. Nuts with some raisins would be a solid solution.

Anyway, snack thread. Preferably room temperature and camping snacks. Nuts are easily on the board, what else?

Peanut butter sandwiches will keep.

Also, don’t sleep on fruit!

Hummus, my guy. There are also some shelf-stable bean dips.

Ooo, wondering how I can make that small and utilitarian though. I could make the hummus version of go-gurt.

Put it in a small Tupperware. Or get a bento box and fill it with hummus and chips

There's plenty of crisps and chips out there which might not labeled as vegan, but are still nonetheless made without animal products.

To me, it's salted dry fruits and nuts all the way in the situation you described. I do some farming and salted peanuts and toasted salted cashews are my favourites. Although cashews are quite on the nose more expensive, so I sprinkle them amongst the peanuts.

Pair me that with some lemonade in a thermos and I'm good to keep going.

I used to snack sandwiches, but that just made me feel like going to lie down after munching on them.

But like I said, there are chips too.

Banana. Banana is good for you.

When I was in college, my go-to packed snack was home made Ritz PB sandwiches.

Just grab a sleeve of Ritz, take two, smear peanut butter between them, smash and repeat. Can churn out a dozen or so per minute, and eat them twice as fast.

Last I checked, Ritz crackers are vegan, so no modifications necessary.

These are pretty calorie and protein dense so they will do in a pinch but friendly reminder that balanced diets are important.

If you have a fridge at work, there’s about a billion ways you can riff on a wrap that are quick to make, good chilled, and quick to eat

Finally there’s plenty of ways to do the hiking classics of trail mix / granola that fits your bill. Bonus shoutout to granola because you can toss it on some yogurt to get something a little more rounded.

…Hey, just what kind of vegan are you, anyway?

but yeah, Ritz?! I’d have thought they used butter or milk somehow somewhere in their recipe but that’s absolutely perfect!
