Cinnamon spiced banana roll – This simple snack or even breakfast is pretty easy to make. Just get whole wheat tortilla and put a banana with a touch of cinnamon on top, you can add all natural nut butter in between too or maybe if you need something a little heavier, a whole wheat bread that you’ve flattened out would work too, although this takes a bit more effort, personally it seems quite a bit more substantial to me. This is delicious, easily stored and agrees with clean eating and pretty much any vegan diet plans out there.

Hummus dip – Well hummus is pretty awesome and can be made into a dip for pretty much any raw vegetable, this is a clean eating snack for the books. Hummus goes so well with a ton of veggies and really just elevates it, in my humble opinion. I’d place the vegan delight into a reusable container and wash up some vegetables, cut them up into snack size and place them into a container and voila, a great meal which is easily accessible, delicious and really good for your clean eating habit.

Muesli junior – This is a simple and awesome clean eating snack that will just keep you full and healthy. Grab a container and place some oats, some nuts of your choice and finally some dried fruit, of course none of the sweetened stuff alright?

Oh and be weary of the amount of nuts you place in, you might blow your calorie count due to over indulging the nuts which is very easy to do.

Mason jars are a hug hit for on-the go food, great for muesli, fresh fruits, chopped veggies or parfait.
