3 Delicious, protein-rich vegan snacks by Ana Brás

Are vegan snacks already part of your daily diet? There are more and more people identifying with the vegan lifestyle , whether for ethical reasons regarding animal production, environmental sustainability or simply to improve their health.

In fact, in hypermarkets, the sections dedicated to foods of plant origin are increasingly larger. However, despite the immense benefits of this type of food, we need to pay attention to the labels. This is important so that we don't run the risk of making choices rich in carbohydrates , fat and salt and very low in proteins or vitamins.

If the food choice is balanced, we can ingest all the essential nutrients for the body to function properly. What about the much talked about vitamin B12 ? It is always possible to include it through supplementation, if necessary.

Today I bring you 3 super practical vegan snack options to add to your healthy diet . Balanced and rich in protein, they are perfect for breaking a fast or for a light mid-afternoon meal.
