Here at MWH headquarters, we take our snacking very seriously. We’re always looking for new, freaking delicious vegan snacks to try, and it’s safe to say we’ve tried them all.
It’s important to note, we don’t encourage snacking all day. We’re firm believers in sitting down to eat healthy, satisfying meals to fill you up so that you’re not picking at things all day. But hey- we’re all human and lead busy lives, so sometimes ya gotta just lean in and go for it!
But… make sure you do your research because harmful ingredients are hidden in most pre-packaged foods. Which is why we took it upon ourselves to read all the nutrition labels, so that we could find some of the cleanest snacks available (without compromising on flavor)! We like to think of ourselves as snack-perts (don’t know where that came from but going with it) when it comes to all things crunchie, salty, sweet, delish, and CLEAN.
We’re definitely a little over confident on this topic, so let us know if you’re with us or disagree.
Linked below are all of our favorites.
CRACKERS:
- Simple Mills
- We love dipping them in hummus or mixing in with soup to give it that necessary crunch. These are super salty for our fellow salt-lovers.

- These also pair well with Monty’s vegan cheeses.
- The Rosemary Spirulina cheese and Everything But the Bagel cream cheese are our tops.
