Extra tips

Opt for these nutrient-packed vegan snacks during your eating window in intermittent fasting:

  • Berries with vegan yogurt
  • Steamed broccoli with tahini sauce
  • Raw nuts and seeds mix
  • Grilled vegetable skewers
  • Spirulina smoothie
  • Roasted chickpeas with spices

For vegan intermittent fasting, water is essential during fasting periods, herbal teas like green tea to support metabolism, black coffee for a caffeine kick without breaking the fast, vegetable broth for a warming, low-calorie option during eating windows, and fruit-infused water for a flavorful hydration boost are suitable.

Vegan intermittent fasting involves eating within a specific time window, focusing on nutrient density during those periods.

Foods rich in healthy fats like nuts and avocados also help sustain energy levels through fasting periods.
