Sweet quesadilla

Quesadillas dont need to packed with dense cheese and meat to be delicious.

My favorite plant-based snack lately is a sweet quesadilla, says Martin.

Feel free to play around with flavors and swap around for other kinds of fruit or even nut butters.

Nut butter and blueberry toast

Swap out avocado toast for a slice with nut butter and blueberries, instead.

Grab a piece of whole grain bread and toast it.

Then spread 1 tbsp of your favorite nut butter on before topping with fresh blueberries.

What would a plant-based snacks list be without trail mix?

DIY it with this easy combo from Jones.

For a quick and easy snack that satisfies, I often recommend pistachios and dried fruit, she suggests.

Dates, raisins, and mango are all great options.

Green pea guacamole

What if you could have regular guac but with a ton more protein and fiber?

Enter this idea from Jones.

Green pea guacamole is a great dip to prep in advance to boost protein content and fiber.

Then pair it with your favorite bean chips, carrots, jicama, or other pre-cut vegetables.
