Plant-Based Game Day Snacks

by Leave a Comment

I haven’t heard of a single Super Bowl party this year. I’m sure some people will still have them but we will be staying home. If you are looking for oil-free, plant-based snacks for the big game, I’ve got you covered!

Plant-based game day snacks

These recipes will give you the flavor of your regular favorites without the meat, dairy or oil!

I reached out to a few of my plant-based friends and will be sharing some of their favorites too!

Plant-Based Game Day Snacks

Your team will love these flavorful snacks while you watch the game. Most are super easy and all are delicious!

Vegan Burgers

Yes! I love these vegan burgers! For game day, I think sliders may be in order!

Oil-Free Hummus

This hummus is the only oil-free hummus you need! You can dress it up or down and eat it with veggies, pita, in rollups (see below), wraps, on sandwiches and more! Lately, I spread it on sourdough!

Jalapeno Hummus

This is my dressed up version of my classic oil-free hummus! We add lime, cilantro and jalapenos for a not too spicy but full of flavor dip!

Homemade Vegan Queso (Gluten Free)

Jenn's Queso is fabulous! You'd never guess there are veggies involved!

Oil-Free Potato Wedges

Oven baked oil-free potato wedges should be on everyone's game day list! No matter who's playing...I'm rooting for potatoes! These would be amazing in Jenn's queso!

Vegan Baked Onion Rings

I don't know why I didn't think of adding Beth's oil-free onion rings to my Game Day menu every year! These oil-free onion rings have been perfected by trial and error! Check them out!

Rainbow Veggie Pinwheels

These kid-friendly Rainbow Veggie Pinwheels can be made quickly or by the kids. LOL! You'll love these fresh bites!

Simple Garden Spring Rolls

Speaking of fresh, Terri's Garden Spring Rolls are easy to customize and will be a great addition to the menu.

BBQ Cauliflower Bites

Is there a better way to enjoy cauliflower? Maybe but I'm a barbecue sauce lover so this is right up my alley!

Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Wings

If you'd rather have that buffalo flavor, check out Shane's Buffalo Cauliflower Wings. They bring the authentic flavor of wings to this meat-free snack.

Chickpea Nuggets

Chickpea Nuggets are totally dippable! Kids like ketchup but BBQ sauce or maple mustard is great too!

Instant Pot Refried Beans

I can't leave out my oil-free refried beans! I love these for parties or "snacky events" because I love beans, salsa and chips. Loading up on the beans help us fill up. We also use these for Tostadas and Nachos!

Will you be making any snacks and watching football this weekend? What do you plan to make?

Got Snacks?

I don’t know about you but I love snacks! While I always recommend that people reach for fruit and veggies as a first choice sometimes I really want crackers, chips, cookies, etc.

I don’t have a problem incorporating tasty but maybe not super healthy snacks occasionally. If I were fighting disease I would be much more careful with my diet. It is important to me to know what ingredients are in my snacks and how they are sourced.

I made this confession this week on Instagram. I loved these BBQ Chips by the way. It had been years since I’ve had a BBQ flavored chip. This girl loves BBQ!

Sometimes it’s hard to find products I can really get behind. I often order online when I find sources I can trust since they aren’t always at my local grocery store.

A fun way to try new snacks it so subscribe to the Vegan Cuts Snack Box.

Vegan cuts snack box

The Vegan Cuts Snack Box comes once a month with 7-10 vegan goodies. It’s only $19.95 with free shipping in the US. If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter I’ll often share Vegan Cuts special sales as they come. This is the perfect time of year to sign up for a subscription (and you can easily cancel at any time).

In last months box I received 10 different products (some full size some sample size) including Earth Balance Mac and Cheese,  Cobra Corn, Barnana, One Potato Two Potato and many more.

If you find a product you can’t live without you can order it from the Vegan Cuts Marketplace. I subscribed to the Vegan Cuts Beauty Box almost as soon as it came out and I’m always pleasantly surprised with the quality of the products. I found my favorite skin care products, nail polish and more through Vegan Cuts.

I’m an affiliate for Vegan Cuts because I love what they do. The holiday boxes are always my favorite. The next Vegan Cuts Box ships October 20th so sign up now so you don’t miss the deadline.

This page contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase using these links I make a small amount from each sale at no additional cost to you. 

Got Snacks? Try Dry Roasted Edamame

by 8 Comments

Got Snacks?

My family of 4 eats a plant-based diet, 2 of us are also gluten-free and 1 nut and oat free. Do you realize how hard it is to find good snacks that fit the bill. I’m always looking for snacks that are easy for my 2 year old to eat and not too messy. Sometimes we end up with a variety of granola bars, cereal bars, fruit pouches, etc. but have to be careful about cross-contamination.  It’s tough.

One Snack the Whole Family Can Enjoy

When I first heard about Seapoint Farms Dry Roasted Edamame I was intrigued. We tried the Lightly Salted, Sea Salt, Spicy Wasabi and Goji Blend. They were so good! I didn’t let my 2 or 4 year old try the Spicy Wasabi but they loved the other flavors. I love them all! These are coming with us on our next road trip. We eat a lot of snacks on the road! 🙂

I even shared them with some of the attenders at Healthy Cravings and they loved them as well. The Sea Salt seemed to be the favorite among many of them. I think the Lightly Salted are my favorite. My boys had already eaten all of the Goji Blend so no one else got to taste those. I’d never had dry roasted edamame, I thought they had a nutty flavor.

I Love that these dry roasted edamame are:

  • Gluten-Free
  • Vegan
  • Non-GMO

These are delicious and perfect for those times you want a crunchy (and salty) snack.
