Take us out to the ball game with this list of sweet and savoury snacks that will get you through the seventh-inning stretch and beyond
Baseball season is in full swing, and while everyone else is trying to figure out who’s on first, we’re busy thinking about what we’re going to eat during those gorgeous spring afternoons at the ballpark. We love our peanuts and boxes of Cracker Jack (yes, they’re vegan!), but we’re bringing something new to bat with this medley of store-bought munchies and homemade fare. With nine innings to get through, we suggest playing hardball with several of the snacks below to make sure you cover all the bases.
Vegan food at baseball stadiums
Between all the stadium food stand hot dogs and burgers, is there anything vegan to be found at baseball stadiums? The short answer is: yes. Major league sports venues are becoming more vegan-friendly in general—a positive symptom of the mainstreaming of plant-based food. We’re not just talking Cracker Jack or fries. You can now buy a substantial meal that’ll keep you energized while you cheer your team on and boo the challenger, including hot dogs, nachos, sushi, and more.
If you’re looking for food that you can buy at the baseball park itself, then check out our guide to the most vegan-friendly stadiums across the country. Want to know which beers at the park are vegan? (Yes, sometimes it’s not!) Let our guide to vegan beer show you the way. Some of the most mainstream names in the industry are a-okay for animal-free diets.
Vegan snacks to buy
Convenience is the name of the game here and we’re willing players. We love to keep a stash of these vegan snacks on-hand for all of our outings and adventures. (And not to mention, as an emergency hunger cure.)
Brami
1Brami lupini beans
Brami has hit a home run with this healthy snack made from lupini, a newcomer to the legume food game. Lightly pickled in a variety of savoury seasonings, these Italian “miracle beans” can be enjoyed whole or shelled in four mouth-watering flavours (Sea Salt, Chili Lime, Hot Pepper, and Garlic and Herb). Packaged in convenient resealable bags, Brami’s low-calorie, nutritious snack is ready to play!

For a protein boost between innings with a satisfying chew, try one of the meaty soy, seitan, or shiitake mushroom-based offerings from Primal Strips. Made with all-natural ingredients, the strips come in six varieties (mesquite lime, teriyaki, hickory smoked, Texas BBQ, and hot and spicy) that range from sweet to spicy. Throw your concession stand eats a curve ball by cutting up these strips and sprinkling them on your French fries and popcorn.

Hippeas
3Hippeas
There are many puffed snacks on the market, but few that keep us coming back for more like Hippeas. While many chickpea snacks are roasted, Hippeas are ground into flour with other organic ingredients ideal for a tasty snack. Available in five scrumptious flavours (including Vegan White Cheddar, Far Out Fajita, and the spicy Sriracha Sunshine), these snacks serve up good vibes as much as a crunchy, delicious bite.

Beanfields
4Beanfields chips
Beanfields’ Barbeque, Nacho, and Pico de Gallo chips come in 1.5-ounce sized bags, making them perfect for stadium noshing. These chips are delicious on their own, but will also kick up the flavour mixed into the dairy-free nachos you might find at the concession stand. Try the Jalapeño Nacho variety to add more heat to your snack—and don’t forget to bring a dip, like salsa.

6Vegan Rob’s Crisps
We love these crunchy, Pringles-inspired chips because it’s totally acceptable to keep a tube all to yourself. Made from potato and sorghum flour, they’re gluten-free, vegan, and come in fun flavours like the spicy, lip-tingling Dragon or the mild Turmeric With Black Pepper. You’ll have a hard time resisting finishing these in one sitting.
