5 Healthy Snacks That Will Supercharge Your 30 Plants A Week

Eating thirty different plants a week is one of the best ways to support your gut health – but it doesn’t have to be complicated. These five easy and flavourful snacks will help you hit that target effortlessly, whether you're craving something savoury, easy to grab on-the-go or you prefer a fresh and fruity treat. Packed with fibre, antioxidants, and a variety of plant-based goodness, these snacks are as delicious as they are nutritious. Here are our top ideas for supercharging your 30-plants-a-week in the most delicious of ways.

Artichoke & Butter Bean Dip

Deliciously Ella


We love, and frequently mainline, hummus. But this garlicky artichoke dip alternative from Deliciously Ella takes things up a notch while still only taking five minutes to rustle up. Plus, it is brilliantly kind to the microbes, with butterbeans, lemon, garlic and, of course, the artichokes, all topped with flaked almonds, olive, fennel seeds and fresh parsley. Want more? Serve it up with carrots and celery – although do not forego the lightly toasted bread (sourdough if you want to give your gut a further treat). Get the recipe.

Veggie Burritos

BBC Good Food


For a heartier snack – whether for after school or a communal post-walk pick-me-up – try these veggie burritos: in essence, mushrooms, kidney beans and corn and avocado, all wrapped up in a tortilla with onion, carrot, lime, parsley, tomato, lettuce and soured cream. And there you have it, ten of your thirty plants in one delicious and filling sitting. Get the recipe.

Sticky Miso Nuts & Seeds

Olive Magazine


Did you know that nuts count towards your 30 plants a week? Music to our ears. In celebration of that excellent fact, we suggest rustling up this nut medley – cashews, almonds, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds – which is then caramelised and then stirred through with miso. Sticky, crunchy, dangerously moreish. Get the recipe.

Turmeric Socca with Cucumber, Pepper & Tahini Salad

Amelia Freer


If you love nachos, why not try this healthier take courtesy of nutritionist to the stars. Amelia Freer? In place of the nachos themselves, she suggests Socca, which is made with chickpea flour, olive oil and turmeric – that last boasting antiviral, antibacterial, antioxidant properties. Then load it up with the salad, which features cucumber, red pepper (a great source of vitamins C, A and B6), lemon, garlic, sumac, tahini and Thai fish sauce. The loveliest veg-packed snack to wash down with a lovely crisp glass of white wine. Get the recipe.

Homemade Acai Bowl

A Couple Cooks


If you fancy a sweet snack but you want yours to work hard on the plant front, consider a delicious acai bowl. Featuring a medley of fruit – think strawberries, mango, and blueberries among them – it’s essentially a smoothie in a bowl with toppings. What’s not to adore? Works beautifully as a pudding too.
