Nongshim Soon Veggie Noodle Soup ($6): Sometimes vegans just want to eat something fast, savory, and cheap. For those occasions, pick up a six-pack of vegan instant noodles.
Crunchmaster Multi-Grain Crackers ($10): If you're vegan, chances are you have at least two tubs of hummus on hand at all times. But you need something to scoop it up with! Try these vegan multi-grain crackers with your fave chickpea dip for happy snacking.
Kirkland Signature Peanut Butter Filled Pretzels ($10): This classic snack hits the mark when you need some protein and energy pronto.
Oreos ($10): The first thing a veteran vegan will tell a newbie to the diet is that Oreos are safe to eat. It's our unofficial slogan. Spread the good news one cookie at a time with this massive pack containing more than three full pounds of chocolate-and-creme delight.
Blue Diamond Almonds, Bold Wasabi & Soy Sauce ($11): Certain snacks are so addicting you need to buy them in bulk. With a punchy hit of hot wasabi and rich soy, these crunchy almonds are too tasty to resist.
GoGo SqueeZ Fruit & VeggieZ ($11): Get one thing straight — these pouches of puréed fruit and veggies aren't just for kids. If you're craving something sweet but are avoiding added sugars, one of these babies will do the trick.
Made In Nature Organic Apricots ($12): A little sweet, a little tart, dried apricots can be snacked on own, added to trail mix, or chopped up and stirred into porridge.
Frutto d'Italia Pitted Green Olives Snack Pouch ($12): Craving something quick and briny? Mini olive pouches (no pits, obvi) will be there for you.
Nature's Bakery Fig Bars ($13): Soft-baked fig bars are our favorite alternative for the granola or protein bar-averse. Choose from blueberry, fig, and raspberry bars in this variety pack.
Paradise Green Premium Dried Mango ($13): Treat yourself to a taste of the tropics when you pick up a jumbo bag of dried mango on your next Costco run.
Skinny Pop Popcorn Bags ($14): Made with non-GMO corn, Smart Pop is a snack that almost anyone can enjoy.
