easy vegan snacks

Quick and easy vegetarian meals and snacks?
I'm looking for some fast meals and vegetarian snacks... I actually prefer vegan since most of what I eat is vegan. I need some hearty meals and snacks to fill me up because lately I always feel hungry, and I'm busy so I don't have a lot of time to cook. Please send me your ideas. Also does anyone have a good mixed nuts recipe? Maybe a sweet and slightly spicy mixed nuts? Thanks!
Here's a recipe for mixed nuts I really like- http://www.bigoven.com/33919-Sweet-and-Spicy-Nuts-recipe.html. Just substitute vegan Earth Balance for the butter.
For meals, I like to make things that I can freeze and eat later- vegan potpies, big batches of chili or other hearty soup, lasagnas, homemade or store bought veggie burgers, etc. Pasta is always quick and easy- add some white beans or veg ground "meat" to it for extra protein. Also try sauteeing some veggies (zuchinni, bell peppers, onion, mushroom, etc) to add to the sauce for extra nutrients, or add a green salad.
Burritos are good too and can be frozen or kept refrigerated for a week. Also tacos are pretty fast.
Baked potatoes with a vegetarian sandwich (use veggie meats- I like tempeh bacon BLT sandwiches a lot).
Also, you could check out the book "20 Minutes to Dinner" by Bryanna Clark Grogan.
Easy Ways To Get Your 5 A Day, Every Day Of The Week!
5 portions of fruit and veg is the mininum you need every day just to maintain good health. Although this can seem daunting in a busy life, there are painless choices and simple ideas that can really add up once you start to put them into practice. Have fun mixing and matching these ideas and 5-a-day will soon be second nature!
Try and add fruit and veg whenever you can, and think of 'adding a portion' whenever you prepare or choose food.
Don't forget that your five can include one of each of the following - a glass of fruit juice, dried fruit and pulses like beans and lentils. And whilst it is of course better to concentrate on fresh ingredients, frozen and tinned foods can help boost the numbers when you're struggling to meet the target.
Here are some ideas to help as you go through the day.
Breakfast:
- Add grated apple to your porage (1portion)
- Add a good spoonful of raisins to your cereal (1 portion)
- Slice a banana on to your toast (1 portion)
- Have a smoothie - mix milk or soya milk with a banana, a handful of frozen blueberries and some apple juice in blender (2 portions)

- Make or buy a small fruit salad (1 portion)
- Make or buy a meusli bar that's heavy on fruit and light on sugar (1 portion)
- Add a good spoonful of berries or mango to a yoghurt (1 portion)
- A 150ml glass of fruit juice (1 portion)
- Have a fruit scone and top it with pure fruit spread (1 portion)
- Rice cake topped with guacamole (1 portion)
Lunch:
- Go for the vegetarian option! (Usually 2-3 portions)
- Have a main portion salad (2-3 portions)
- Add a side salad to your main meal (1 portion)
- Have a vegetable soup, or a lentil and vegetable soup (2-3 portions)
