Snack Traps
Chips and vegan-friendly dips like guacamole or salsa can make for an addictive snack during movie nights or gatherings. Even when made from whole ingredients, these snacks are easy to overeat, turning a healthy nibble into an excessive indulgence. The crunch of the chips combined with the flavorful dips creates a sensory experience that’s hard to resist.
Often marketed as healthy snacks, energy bars can be deceptive with their health halo. Many vegan bars are laden with syrups, sweeteners, and dried fruits, increasing their sugar content to levels comparable to that of a candy bar. While convenient and tasty, these bars should be chosen carefully and consumed sparingly within a vegan diet.
Creamy Concoctions
Vegan ice cream has become a mainstream delight, offering the creaminess and variety of traditional ice cream without any dairy. These frozen desserts are made from bases like coconut, almond, or soy and allow vegans to indulge their sweet tooth. However, these ice creams often contain as much sugar and fat as their dairy equivalents to achieve a creamy consistency and appealing sweetness.
