Savory, salty, crunchy and healthy — what more could you ask for?
Finally, a snack that both Chris and I agree on. A problem (I don’t know if I should even call it a problem lol) that Chris and I face is our snack choices is that I always want sweet and he always wants savory. Well, I finally crossed over to the savory side because this snack had us both in love at first bite.
We put together a video rounding up 5 vegan travel snack recipe ideas, and this recipe has got to be one of my favorites (ever). It’s savory with a touch of sweet, and perfectly balanced out with the veggies so you don’t get a huge kick of curry.
We made this video for our YouTube channel in collaboration with iHerb, and I would definitely recommend you check them out if you are interested in discounted groceries, loyalty credit + 5% off your order!
