Are you looking to be more eco-friendly? Why not start off with snacks? It’s one of the easiest ways to be more sustainable and it’s a great way to nourish your body at the same time. These snacks are not only good for the planet, they’re tasty and you’re going to want to eat them. Here are five snacks that are both nutritious and sustainable that you can feel good about eating.
Popped Water Lilly Seeds
This alternative to popcorn is a staple in Ayurvedic culture and you can find popped water lily seeds in tons of flavors like sea salt, white cheddar, cinnamon, and sea salt.
Peanuts
Peanuts grow underground and they benefit the soil they grow in, helping crops grow, and they are more water-efficient than other nuts. They also happen to be great for snacking.
Lentils
While you may not think of lentils as a snack, when they’re roasted or in lentil-based dishes, they’re great for in-between meals.
Eggs
Not only are eggs a great budget-friendly way to get protein, they’re also eco-friendly.
Almonds
Almonds require more water than peanuts, but they’re another good option for sustainable nuts. Also, none of the almond parts go to waste during production as the shells, hulls, and trees, have other farming purposes.
