Do you watch The Walking Dead? Oh, geez...I can't stomach too much of it—as much as I love it, I always end up getting a little too urp-y. But I'm not the only one! I've talked to at least a few people who are so turned off by the cannibalism in the show, they have started to eschew meat, instead picking vegetarian and vegan choices during meals and snack time (while still watching the show, of course).

If you are also feeling a bit meat-averse these days, here are some yummy, vegan snacking options. (I almost posted a still from the latest episode, but...OMG. So please accept, in its stead, a nice spinach salad.)

__Nate's Meatless Meatballs: Entirely vegan, these "meatballs" are made with non-GMO soy and offer the same texture of meat—without actually having any meat in there at all. There are three flavors—classic, mushroom, and Italian—and work well in sandwiches, on salads and pizza, or plain, as appetizers.

Rhythm SuperFoods Kale Chips: Crispy kale chips have all the crunch of potato chips but are also infused with vitamins A, C, K, and B6, plus iron, manganese, iron, potassium, and fiber. You can DIY a batch, but these come in seven different flavors (nacho is my personal fave) and are cooked at a low temperature to maintain the raw living enzymes within the leafy green.

__Mary's Gone Crackers Pretzels: __Gluten-free and vegan, these are made with organic ancient whole grains (quinoa, millet, amaranth), plus nutrient-filled seeds like chia, sesame, and flax. (Plus, they're good when dipped!)

__Fruigees Organic Fruit Snack Squeeze Packs: __They look like something that you might get in your lunch box, but these snacks are entirely organic, free of all artificial ingredients, and secretly infused with nutritious veggies (such as kale).

Balance Bare Mixed Berry Nut and Sweet & Spicy Nut bars: The newest offering from Balance Bar, these are made with whole nuts, fruits, and seeds. They're also dairy-free, non-GMO, and gluten- and soy-free (but still yummy! Promise!).

__So, several questions here. 1: Does The Walking Dead make you feel all funky in the tummy region? 2: If you've given up meat before, what's been the impetus? And 3: Do you have any favorite vegan snacks?
