Lactose intolerance and allergy to milk and milk-based products can both result in a person having to stay off dairy products. While plenty of vegan meal options are available, many still worry about the snack options. Here are some healthy vegan and vegetarian snack ideas that you can make using vegetables:

• Vegetable sticks with hummus
  Vegetable sticks with a hummus dip is a healthy and nutritious snack. You can pack these for your kids to school or serve it once they come back from school. You can also take it with you to work or have it after a workout session. Sticks of cucumber, carrots, steamed or roasted cauliflower, and broccoli with a bowl of hummus are healthy vegetarian and vegan snack ideas to get vitamins without milk. You can also replace the hummus with dairy-free nut butter.
• Chips and fries
  You can make baked or roasted fries and chips by dipping them in crispy flour batter and roasting them. Some ideal veggies for chips and fries are potatoes, sweet potatoes, raw plantains, beetroot, kale, peppers, avocados, and parsnips.
• Pickled vegetables
  The biggest advantage of pickled vegetables is that you can make this healthy vegetarian and vegan snack in batches and store them. Combine salt, your favorite crunchy vegetables, and some vinegar for a healthy tea time snack. You can use vegetables like cucumber, cauliflower, shallots, beets, cabbage, asparagus, green beans, and radishes. You can also add flavor with herbs and spices like parsley, garlic, bay leaf, thyme, dill, basil, fennel, and mustard and make pickles with just one or a combination of vegetables of your choice.
• Salads
  These are ideal for school or office lunch boxes. A cold salad that you toss and keep it in the fridge can be an ideal snack once you return from work. You can combine any vegetables and greens that you like and some nuts or toasted flax seeds to increase nutrition. Combine vegetables and pickles, sun-dried tomatoes, and some homemade dressing, and voila! You have a healthy and filling snack ready to be enjoyed.
  You can keep switching or mixing up the ingredients to keep it from becoming monotonous. Beans, avocado, cucumber, lettuce, arugula, microgreens, cherry tomatoes, rhubarb, mushroom, zucchini, carrots, and chickpeas are all excellent ingredients for salads. You can also add bits of grilled vegetables and fruits, like a piece of citrus, watermelon, or pomegranate for additional flavor. Savory granola, toasted flax seeds, or peanuts or walnuts, toasted vegan bread, some pasta or noodles, soya tofu, quinoa, and crackers can all be tossed in for texture and crunch.
• Grilled vegetables
  Grilled vegetables have added glamor and bling to vegetables. From basic grilled veggies like corn to vegetables with complex marinades, they make for great healthy vegetarian and vegan snack ideas. You can marinate the veggies, make large batches, and grill them as you need. You can be innovative with marinades and explore different cuisines. Serve them with a simple vegan mayo or dips and sauces for a snack that works for the home as well as for an exotic party. Corn, asparagus, beans, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, Zucchini, peppers, onions, tomatoes, are all-ideal for grilling.
