Back-to-school season is here and it can be a struggle to get the young ones excited about healthier snacks especially after a long day of school. While homemade snacks for kids are always preferable, it isn’t always possible thanks to a time crunch.

To help you out, we’ve rounded up 10 vegan-friendly pre-packaged snacks that we are sure you and your family will absolutely enjoy.

Blueberry Muffin by NAKD

Have you looked at the back of your cereal bar wrapper to see what’s in it? If you’re in luck, you may see a few ingredients you recognize, but everything else might sound foreign. Nakd likes to keep things simple. All the ingredients in their bars are raw and natural as the brand does not believe in using additives or sugary syrups.

If you or your loved ones miss the taste of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, you’re in luck because these peanut butter cups by Justin’s taste exactly like Reese’s, except they're vegan, organic and non-GMO. If you’re not a fan of peanut butter, Justin’s also offers these with other nut butter options.

Here’s what abillion member @veganinthe614 says: “I love these! I’m not much of a candy person, but Reese's Peanut Butter Cups were my favorite growing up. These are even better in my opinion. I like that these are organic and non-GMO. The mini size is perfect too.”

Sliders are always a safe choice. These morsels by Gardein are small, filling and incredibly easy to prepare. Warm them up in the microwave oven, dress them however you like and your tasty snack will be ready to be served in no time.

Vegan dad @vgn81 says: “When cooked correctly, these taste great. We tend to be in a hurry so microwave the buns for 10- 14 seconds and the patty for about 30-40 seconds. My youngest daughter who is 3 years old likes these a lot and she's a really picky vegan kid. So her liking these is a big win for us.”

Candy Lush creates luxurious vegan gummies that are free from major allergens. Gelatine is a common animal-derived ingredient found in gummy-like candies to give them a chewy texture. These gummies by Candy Lush are not only gelatine-free, they don’t contain any artificial flavors and coloring.

abillion member @callyjoart says: “I buy these bears at any opportunity! So fruity and juicy, I love the texture. It has a bit of a bite to it but soft and chewy, yum!”
