Go Pure

liz

Hi Jenna,
My favorite on the go afternoon snack is apple slices with laughing cow cheese. I am also obsessed with the kashi dark chocolate coconut bars. I also wanted to say that I am so jealous of you! My husband and I visit Healdsburg every summer for our anniversary so everyday when I visit your blog I revisit some very good memories!

bella

I LOVE date-based bars (like larabars) for time-crunch snacks but a portable piece of fruit works great, too, like bananas or apples. Easy to toss in the purse. 🙂

Katie

I love cashews!

Alex

apple slices sprinkled with cinnamon or pumpkin spice in a ziplock bag

megan

My favorite on-the-go snack is some kind of bar with green tea! I’ve only tried the cherry cashew pure bar, but it was tasty. I also love cashew laras and z-bars. And although it’s not a very portable snack due to messiness, a banana with PB will always do the trick!

LZ

I love to mix dates, cocoa powder, and peanut butter. It’s just like a fudgy chocolate brownie! Sticky and gooey and delicious.

Olga @ Healthing It

I love fruit: an apple or a banana with some PB are excellent snacks!

Chutney

Laughing Cow wedge + honeycrisp apple!

Ashley

A giant, juicy honeycrisp apple!

Holly

fave on the go snack? probably a big ol’ apple or trail mix. you just can’t go wrong!!!

Katie K.

I am a fan of soy nuts and raisins…. In a reusable container, of course! No ziplocs here!

maggie b

when on the go, you can never go wrong with a Luna bar or a Lara bar with a piece of fruit!
perfect balance!

Gillian

Dried fruit! Usually medjool dates or dried coconut, papaya and pineapple chunks!

Shannon (The Daily Balance)

String cheese or yogurt! (add a handful of nuts in there, too!)

jane

nutella + spoon. stick to the basics.

Lauren @ Eater not a runner

That is a tough one, I have so many! Either a Almond & Coconut KIND bar, an apple, or a bag of some kind of delicious cereal…or all three 😉

kim

oooooh – I want some. I love granola/protein bars.
My fave lately has been carrots and homemade hummus or mini bags of popcorn! 🙂 Makes my office smell great!

Stephanie

If it’s on the go like I’m literally walking down the street chomping down on the snack, a piece of fruit and some cheese (string, cubes, babybel, etc). Easy and the protein keeps the hunger away for a while!

Phyllis

String cheese and almonds

Evan Thomas

I like to mush chocolate chips into a banana!

katy

I love a crispy apple.

Sue

I like to make my own trail mix with roasted, unsalted almonds and this dried cherry/berry mix I get at Costco.

…occasionally I may add a little chocolate to the mix. 🙂

lucy

almond packs from trader joes. easy to grab and go!

Shana

So, my work schedule is skewed to the rest of the world, so my afternoon snack is more like my 8pm snack. It also has to be super fast and something that does not have to be refrigerated! My fall backs are almonds or energy bars, as both can be carried with me and bites grabbed whenever I have a spare moment.

Marathon

Greek yogurt with FiberOne cereal. The yogurt’s higher protein and the fiber make this a filling snack.

sam

An apple with a to-go pack of peanut butter for dipping! thanks for the chance to win.

Tracey @ TropicalHappiness

My fav… probably an apple! Or a baggie of plain Cheerios if I’m looking for something durable! LOL!

Alicia

Hi Jenna,
I am a graduate student so I basically eat all of my food on the go. Snack wise I love mixing cereal with trail mix and munching in class. By cereal I mean Peanut Butter Puffins. By trail mix I mean a few peanuts and raisins, but mostly M&Ms.

rebeccajs

A simple banana does it for me. Kiwi’s also go well with a banana.

Kristie Lynn

Gah I love Pure bars! I went to college in Holland, MI so I will always favor them over other date/nut bars (plus they taste btter if you ask me :)).

My favorite to-go snack is a trail mix of shredded wheat cereal, pecans, dried cherries, and chopped dark chocolate. So much goodness and so easy to eat at work or in the car!

Either an apple of banana smeared with peanut butter (or better yet – almond butter)! If I’m craving something more savory, then string cheese or Laughing cow with some low-fat Triscuits!

Carrie H

Excellent Giveaway! I just tried a pure bar the other week and loved it!

My afternoon snack is often a chilled crisp Gala apple, thinly sliced with a 1 ounce piece of Cabot reduced fat white cheddar cheese. It is portable and easy to eat even if I am driving!

Allison (Eat Clean Live Green)

A latte! 🙂

Sarah @ The Foodie Diaries

Fave afternoon snack is a bowl of cereal with a PB spoon! I rarely eat cold cereal for breakfast because it really doesn’t fill me (unless I do the whole unlimited refills thang haha)–but I love having it in the afternoon with a big spoonful of nut butter for some protein/extra deliciousness!

Jocelyn

Yes I would love to try those bars! My fave on the go snack would have to be whole wheat wasa crackers with Justin’s natural pb packets…sprinkle some raisens on top or banana slices and it’s tres yummy 😉

CarolineCompetes

Dried mango. I absolutely love it. Any fruit too. I have never tried pure bars…I hope I win!

Stephanie

I love fruit, when it’s practical, but bars are so handy since they don’t need refridgeration, they stay good for a long time, and they are inconspicuous to eat!

In 2006 at when I moved out of the college dorms and into my own apartment at the ripe age of 18 and had to stop living off cafeteria food, I quickly learned how to make the most nutrient-dense foods on a really small budget. Having been raised vegan, I never had to think about nor really cared what my parents were preparing and how they were preparing it.

Once on my own, I immediately had my Mom send me some recipes from her cookbooks. Fortunately one of those cookbook’s was none other than Dreena Burton’s masterpiece Vive le Vegan! This cookbook literally saved me from subsisting off beans and rice from the moment I made the first recipe until I graduated. In fact, VlV! is still my first go-to cookbook when I’m stumped on what to cook.

My all-time favorite on-the-go afternoon snack would 100% have to be Dreena’s Energy Cookies (found on page 38 of Vive le Vegan!). Almost every week in college I would make a batch of these delicious cookie-muffin like babies and grab one when I was in hurry and running out of the door (as you know, the story of all college kids’ lives ^.^ ). Not only are they delicious, healthy, and chock full of nutrients, they are also extremely cost effective and you can add or take out any of the “fun” ingredients. For example: Don’t like raisins? Use dried figs!
If anyone is interested in veganism or is just looking for a new cookbook to try, I highly recommend Vive le Vegan! Dreena’s blog http://vivelevegan.blogspot.com/ also has great resources!
P.S.
Sorry for the long contest entry!

K

Maureen

A mini bag of popcorn is always tasty. And fruit! Any kind, I love it all 🙂

Kimberly

My fav on the go snack idea is (I do this everyday before my workout), 1 scoop Jay Robb protein (any kind), 1 scoop of berry flavored amazing grass powder, small handful of frozen blueberries. Pop this into the magic bullet and blend it up with just a small amount of water so it’s more like a pudding than a shake. Then for added crunch and nutrition I will add some raw walnuts or cacao nibs!!! Yum!!! My friends at work call it Kim’s Bile juice!! 🙂

Kim K.

One of my favorite afternoon snacks is luna bars when I have them on hand. My favorite is the nutz over chocolate. I am currently in the process of starting my own blog about the journey to getting healthy. You are truly an inspiration.

Rosalie

Pretty much every day my afternoon snack at work is a green apple and a mini clif bar — the best combo is apple + peanut butter crunch mini clif, because it’s almost like having peanut butter on the apple, which is tough to do on the go. (Or tough any time if you’re a PB fiend like me who can’t have it around lest I eat the whole jar at once!)

a lara bar! I mean….a pure bar…

My perfect “on the go” snack, are TJs peanut butter filled pretzel. perfect combo of protein, fat and carbs for quick pick me up. I buy the bag and put it in little snack size baggies, portioned out per the nutritional data, and then I am also aware of the portion as well.

Pair this with an apple (Honey Crisp my favorite this time of year) for some fiber and you fully charged up till your next meal time.

Apple slices dipped in honey flavored greek yogurt with a little cinnamon=heaven. the honey flavor kinda makes it taste like a caramel apple and totally satisfies my sweet cravings 🙂

Dana T

I love the idea of having healthy cereal bars to grab and go (I LOVE Larabars!) but I have a very limited food budget and can’t bring myself to spend that much on a few bars…so I make my own! I’ve been using recipes I find on the internet (vegweb.com is great!). I can usually get about 12-14 bars from each batch and I pre-wrap them in foil so they’re ready to grab. Way cheaper, plus you know EXACTLY what’s in them!
