Babe tends to want fewer, smaller meals in the summer, if not because heat kills her appetite, to make sure her sundresses fit (she's not giving up the frozen margs, so the calories must be shaved off elsewhere). Snacks that can be eaten on the go also help save time that could better be spent shopping, swimming or just lazing around. Before going vegan, Babe relied on Starbucks biscotti in the morning, but she can get still get her sweet fix -- and 6 grams of protein -- with Erin Baker's chocolate chunk breakfast
cookie. A healthier choice would be Vega's Whole Food Vibrancy
bars, chock full of raw protein, fiber and omega fatty acids.
Larabar has four delicious new flavors, including chocolate chip cookie dough and carrot cake. At the dreaded 4 o'clock hour, Babe turns to a protein-rich spicy snack mix from
Sheffa. Zenergy Powerballs are another tasty vegan
treat, available primarily on the West Coast, but like many raw foods, they come with a hefty price tag ($9.99 for 4 oz.).
