From Jolinda Hackett, your Guide to Vegetarian Food
We've all been told that we should reach for fresh fruits and vegetables when we feel we need a snack in between meals, but in reality, that just doesn't always happen. This week, it's all about snacks - mostly healthy, and always vegan. I'm also looking for more new vegan snacks idea, so let me know your thoughts!

What do you snack on?
Let's get real: us vegetarians and vegans are not always eating apples! What are your favorite vegan snack ideas? Tell us what you munch on in between meals, after dinner or what you feed the vegan kids for their after school snack. Tell us what you eat! Yes, I know fruit should what we're snacking on, but I want to know what you actually eat!

40 Healthy vegan snack ideas, 8 not-so-healthy ones
As a new vegan, you may be wondering what you can snack on in between meals, late at night or just when you're out and about and on the go. There's plenty to choose from. Here's a few ideas. Got more ideas? Tell me about it and I'll add it to the list.

Healthy snack idea: Roasted chickpeas
Oven roasted chickpea nuts - An easy vegan snack recipe idea with lots of protein. Great for vegetarians too! These crunchy roasted chickpeas are low-fat and high in protein, which makes them perfect for an easy and simple vegetarian and vegan snack idea. Kids will love these too!

Healthy snacks for kids: Frozen grapes
This idea comes from my colleague Stephanie, who is an expert at feeding picky kids healthy foods. She says, "Frozen grapes make a refreshing and healthy snack you will find absolutely surprising and delightful. You'll still get that familiar grape flavor. But when frozen, grapes take on a texture that is almost like a sorbet. Indeed, this frozen grapes recipe is almost like little sorbet nibbles!"
