Smoothies and snacks are a delicious way to get a lot of nutrients with just a few ingredients. Usually, they are quick and easy to make and the necessary ingredients are affordable. Of course, smoothies and snacks are versatile in how they can be prepared, so feel free to add your own (vegan!) ingredients for improved taste or nutrition.
