The Best Vegan Snacks for Every Price Point

Based on Crafty client data, vegan office snacks are employers' most common dietary accommodation—second only to gluten-free snacks. Not only do plant-based options accommodate those who are veggie-forward, but they're also appealing to those who care about minimizing their impact on the environment.

Vegan or not, employees appreciate having options that connect to their values. According to our recent sustainability report, 70% of employees say sustainable companies are more attractive employers. The challenge is building efforts into programs employees interact with regularly.

Workplace teams leverage office food and beverage programs to embed sustainable values into everyday workplace culture. It's not just about reactive practices like composting or recycling but preventing waste and excess emissions in the first place.

Vegan options help solve that problem, and Crafty's innovative F&B program management platform makes it easy to find those alignments in your existing and future product lineup. Plus, you can track consumption in real-time across locations to see what products are doing well.

Let's jump in as we share the best vegan office snacks. We'll unpack the benefits of plant-based foods in the workplace to craft a sustainable office pantry program.

Here's some food for thought: A University of Oxford study found that plant-based diets can cut emissions by up to 73%. For example, one glass of dairy milk produces almost 3x the greenhouse gas compared to non-dairy milk. Small reductions in animal products can add up to big changes, so stocking up on vegan snacks can appeal to more than just those who eschew animal products full-time.

Research shows that consumers increasingly care about how their actions and the actions of corporations affect the environment. In the 2023 Kearney Earth Day Survey, 42% of respondents said they always or nearly always consider the environmental impacts of their purchases—a record high since 2019 and an 18-percentage-point increase over 2022.

Prioritizing sustainability also carries over into the workplace. An IBM report found that 75% of employees want to see their employees take action on social responsibility issues. At Crafty, we see this manifest in a push for plant-based snacks in categories such as candy, bars and spreads; oh my!
