Living the vegan lifestyle is rewarding and healthy. Eating vegan snacks can help you lose weight and prevent the onset of life-threatening diseases. In addition, vegan snacks can taste just as good as non-vegan snacks, just without the animal-based ingredients that can be unhealthy.

However, sometimes the snacks on the market aren’t always accommodating to a vegan diet. No worries! We have prepared an easy at-home snack prep recipe that can last you all week long.

Ingredients:

• One 12 oz. bag of plain granola (About $4-$6)
• 1/2 cup of dried banana slices (4oz. for about $5)
• 1/3 cup of sliced almonds (6oz. for about $5)
• One to three teaspoons of cinnamon sugar to taste (3.6oz. for about $3)

*Average prices were found on Target.com
