DIY Snacking: Quick & Clean Ideas

Sometimes the best snacks are the ones you throw together in your own kitchen using your favorite oils.

• Avocado Oil Roasted Chickpeas: Toss rinsed chickpeas with a generous glug of premium avocado oil and your favorite spices. Roast at 400°F until golden for a protein-packed, oil-rich crunch.

• Crispy Avocado Oil Kale Chips: Kale is a powerhouse ingredient for vegan snacks. Tear fresh kale leaves into bite-sized pieces, massage them with a tablespoon of avocado oil, and sprinkle with nutritional yeast for a "cheesy" flavor. Bake at 300°F until crisp. The healthy fats in the avocado oil help your body absorb the fat-soluble vitamins found in the greens.

• Homemade "Oil-Boosted" Trail Mix: Store-bought mixes can be hit or miss, so make your own. Combine raw walnuts, pecans, and pumpkin seeds—all of which are naturally rich in beneficial plant oils. To level it up, lightly toast the nuts in a pan with a teaspoon of avocado oil and a dash of cinnamon before adding dairy-free dark chocolate chips and goji berries. It’s an energy-dense snack that supports focus and stamina.

The Power of Quality Oils

We believe that the fats you choose are a powerful investment in your well-being. Modern nutrition celebrates the role of plant-based oils—like those found in seeds, fruits, and nuts—in supporting a balanced diet. Whether it's the monounsaturated fats in avocado oil or the essential fatty acids found in sunflower and pumpkin seeds, these ingredients are essential for flavor, satiety, and energy.

Choosing vegan snacks doesn't mean choosing boredom. As Veganuary approaches, you can have the crunch, the salt, and the flavor you crave while fueling your body with the fats it deserves. By embracing premium oils and choosing brands that prioritize real ingredients, you are choosing a snack that is honest, transparent, and undeniably tasty. At Jackson's, we are on a mission to make this lifestyle accessible.
