Why Go Plant Based?

Going plant based is an awesome decision. It's great for your energy, your stamina, and your overall health- all things that I need as a mom of three. While I make most of my foods from scratch, there are some times when I need to be able to grab a snack and go. In a family like mine, that means a trip to the world famous big box store- Costco.

​Chicka-Boom Popcorn

Have you tried this popcorn? Like, for real. Because if the answer is no, then we need to head to Costco ASAP Mama. This popcorn is the best! I pretty much always have this delicious snack on hand and hidden deep in my cupboards. You know the place- where no one else can see it and you can eat it in secret? That's where I store my Boom Chicka Pop. ​

​Sweet Potato Crackers

These crackers are SO delicious. Made from sweet potato flour so they are not just vegan- they are gluten free. When I know that I am going into a hard workout and I want to increase my carbohydrates beforehand, I will grab a handful of these to eat on my way to my workout class. 

​
This plant based cracker is full of long lasting energy and is the perfect snack paired with some veggies and hummus.

Granola Bar

As mama’s we are busy! Sometimes we need some food that is just grab and go and I have found that these granola bars are some of my favorites. They are full of nutrients and they store really well in my gym duffel bag or my diaper bag. 

​
I have found that they taste even better after they have been heated up in the microwave for a few seconds. 

​Deluxe Mixed Nuts

Okay, we can get mixed nuts just about anywhere, I hear you. But the Costco deluxe mixed nuts? Now that is a delicacy! Their nut ratio is the best, the amount of salt is perfect, and a handful of this snack just makes the world a better place.  ​

​Dates

Looking for a delicious snack filled with fiber and sweetness? Look no further than these dates at Costco. They are also filled with protein and iron- something that you will need more of once choosing to go on a plant based diet. I try to eat 3-5 a day by eating them plain, blending them in my smoothie, or even topping with peanut butter and a chocolate chip (it tastes like a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup- only way healthier). 

There’s also a TON of plant based recipes that use dates to sweeten them, so these dates are great to have on hand. 

​Hi-Chew Fruit Flavored Candy

These Candies are delicious and perfect to curve any sweet tooth for anyone living with a vegan diet. They come in a variety of fruity flavors like strawberry, orange, and lime.

When you are raising your children to eat a plant based diet, there are still times where they deserve some candy, right? Grab a bag of Hi-Chew candies at Costco so you are always prepared.

Sprouted Pumpkin Seeds

A good source of magnesium, protein, zinc, and iron, these pumpkin seeds are great for a plant based diet! With just a pinch of sea salt added, these pumpkin seeds can be blended into a flour for baking, added to a trail mix… anything! 

These pumpkin seeds taste so great, my kids love to eat them on their own. 

Plus when your seeds are sprouted like this brand at Costco, the amount of antioxidants in them increases for that extra boost to your immune system. I call that a win, right Mama?

​Dark Chocolate Nuggets

Talk about the perfect vegan snack. These dark chocolate nuggets are hearty, healthy, and oh so sweet! A few of these nuggets made by Innofoods is just the most delicious plant based snack on the market. The ingredients? Vegan dark chocolate, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds. That's it!

Made with hand-scooped Hass avocados, these single served chunky guacamole cups are a great plant based snack. It’s no secret how nutritious avocados are, and this guacamole is packed with them. With just a few additional plant based ingredients, this healthy snack is a win in any household.     ​

​Seeds of Change Quinoa and Brown Rice Packets

Buy these Mama! Buy them and thank me later. These packets are perfect sides to any vegan meal and can be cooked super quick. Just throw them in the microwave for 90 seconds then top with some roasted veggies for a healthy dinner. ​
