Grabbing a quick and healthy snack can be a challenge if you have turned vegan recently. But stocking the fridge/pantry with vegan ingredients and a little pre-preparation can help one tide over this problem. Sweet potato is one much ingredient that can be a vegan's best friend. Plus it is a low GI food which means that it helps you feel full for a longer period of time.
