by Emily Harris
4min read
With an ever-increasing range of savoury snacks to choose from in supermarkets, health food stores and online, it’s never been easier to pick something to satisfy those 11am munchies or that 3pm slump. This roundup features our top picks for healthy, but tasty, plant-based savoury snacks that should be a definite feature in next week’s shop.
Indie Bay Crunchy Pretzels
Indie Bay does a great range of pretzels (with a packet small enough to fit comfortably into a pocket to do some incognito snacking – necessary because they’re so good you won’t want to share).
Best for: pairing with your post-work G&T (or incognito snacking, anytime anywhere)
Average price: 99p
Availability: 3/5
Taste: 4/5
Overall rating: 4/5
Kallo Rice Cakes
Rice cakes are a classic, no-fuss healthy vegan snack. Feeling like they’re a bit too plain? Then slather with your favourite nut butter and some sliced banana to take the humble rice cake to the next level. We like the sea salt ones best for their versatility.
Best for: a super quick snack when you’re feeling the hangriness set in
Average price: £1.40
Availability: 4/5
Taste: 3/5
Overall rating: 4/5
Deliciously Ella Baked Veggie Cracker
A little square-shaped, melt in your mouth snack (that might even prefer to be called a ‘snackette’ due to its cute little size). Reminds you of school packed lunches which is a very, very good thing.
Best for: making your friends and colleagues jealous of your snack time
Average price: £1.39
Availability: 2/5
Taste: 4/5
Overall rating: 3/5
Eat Real Sea Salt Hummus Chips
The hummus chips by Eat Real are the best pre-lunch snack because they’re not too heavy or particularly flavoursome, so you can enjoy them without ruining your lunch (ok, mum).
Best for: dipping in hummus, because you can never have too much hummus
Average price: 66p/£1.26
Availability: 4/5
Taste: 5/5
Overall rating: 5/5
Nairns Oatcakes
Oats are just so great, aren’t they? Oat milk, porridge, overnight oats, and now oatcakes. Amazing. These bad boys can be had on their own, or they’re also a very tasty healthy lunch with some diced tomatoes and a drizzle of olive oil on top if you’re feeling fancy.
Best for: an afternoon snack or a light lunch after a heavy weekend
Average price: £1
Availability: 4/5
Taste: 4/5
Overall rating: 4/5
Rude Health Chickpea and Lentil Crackers
Unlike Hippeas, these chickpea and lentil crackers by Rude Health aren’t just for hippies, apparently, they’re for anyone who just really likes the perfect pairing of chickpeas and lentils.
Best for: displaying on your desk so anyone who walks by will know that yes, you are that person with Rude Health crackers — want one?
Average price: £2.80
Availability: 3/5
Taste: 4/5
Overall rating: 3/5
Propercorn Popcorn
More than just your average sweet and salty popcorn that you have to transfer to a bowl and patiently microwave, Propercorn is raring to go and waiting to be eaten in impatient handfuls. We love the Peanut Butter and Almond flavour the best.
Best for: spicing up your movie nights
Average price: 85p
Availability: 5/5
Taste: 5/5
Overall rating: 5/5
Abakus Food Seaweed Crisps
Vegan, gluten-free and high in fibre, these seaweed crisps are your healthy option to your usual crisps.
Best for: switching up your usual crisps
Average price: 99p
Availability: 3/5
Taste: 3/5
Overall rating: 3/5
