25 Snack Foods You Didn't Know Were Vegan-friendly

A lot of people are surprised to find out how much of their "regular" snack food is actually vegan-friendly. Vegan food is just food that contains no products derived from animals. Find out what to buy for that one friend that only eats plants!

1. Oreos.

Milk's favorite cookie, to the surprise of literally everyone, actually contains no milk. The most famous cookie in history is primarily soy-based, even the creme filling.

2. Sweet spicy chili Doritos.

Who said "plant-based" was synonymous with "healthy"?

3. Skittles.

Taste the cruelty-free rainbow!

4. Hershey's chocolate syrup.

It may top dairy desserts, but this topping is dairy-free.

5. Airheads.

6. Sour Patch Kids.

Sour, sweet, gelatin-free.

7. Twizzlers.

8. Bac-O bits.

Yep. We didn't believe it either.

9. Pillsbury Crescent Rolls.

Even with that buttery flavor.

10. Duncan Hines baking mixes.

Make them with egg and dairy substitutes and BAM vegan cake.

11. Ritz crackers.

Again, with the buttery flavor.

12. Blow pops

POP.

13. Lay's Barbecue potato chips.

Sauces may be used on meats, but most barbecue sauces consist of nothing but spices.

14. Dots.

Again, no gelatin!

15. Nature Valley Bars - Peanut Butter.

On-the-go carbs and protein. Still crumblier than you can imagine, though. Thanks Nature Valley.

16. Dum-dums.

We still don't know what the mystery flavor is, but it sure isn't from an animal.

17. Fruit by the Foot

Three-feet of multi-colored goodness.

18. Jolly Ranchers

19. Cracker Jack

Take me to the ballgame for these anytime.

20. Fritos

Full list of ingredients: Corn, Corn Oil, Salt, Sunflower Oil.

21. Jell-O Pudding

None of their mixes contain gelatin for an animal-free dessert.

22. SuperPretzels

Only one of the greatest frozen foods on the market.

23. Krispy Kreme pies

All fruit flavors. Again, who said eating plants was healthy?

24. Swedish Fish

The only animal-related thing about them are their shape.

25. Sriracha sauce.

Technically not a snack, but a-more-than deserving contribution. Your veggie friend can safely drown their tofu stir-fry in this stuff.

Vegan foods aren't all super strange and exotic. Plenty of it is average food that most people have grown up with, so don't freak out next time see a "vegan" label on your favorite candy.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
