Match Your Snack to Your Zodiac Sign — Snacks with a Purpose



Your zodiac sign gives insight into your personality, career path, and love life. It's also extremely helpful in determining your go-to cocktail. Who's to say the stars can't also point you in the right direction in other culinary pursuits? Let's see what the stars have to say about the snacks you should be stocking up on.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19): Wasabi Peas

Impatient Aries doesn't have time to wait for cookies to bake or nacho cheese to melt. When she feels a snack craving coming on, she wants her snack now! (Actually, five minutes ago would've been even better.) That's why wasabi peas are the perfect snack for fiery Aries. They're spicy and irresistable — just like she is.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20): Homemade Brownies

Patient Taurus doesn't mind following a lot of steps, so when she's in the mood for a snack, she's happy to whip up a batch of homemade brownies. Since Taureans love the finer things in life, she's going to spring for the fancy chocolate and fancier salted caramel to swirl in the brownie batter. Save us a square!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20): Mini Peanut Butter Cups

Geminis are mostly known for having two personalities, but they're also known for loving to do things with their hands. They're happiest when knitting, drawing, or playing Candy Crush on their cell phones. That's why mini peanut butter cups are their ideal snack. One personality will go gaga for the smooth chocolate, and the other will dig the salty peanut butter. Popping a few in her mouth whenever a craving strikes will keep her hands happy.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22): Cookie Dough

Empathetic and moody cancer loves all kinds of comfort food. Anything indulgent, creamy, and decadent gets a thumbs up. That's why her favorite snack is cookie dough, straight from the tube (or bowl). Funny how it always tastes best when she's snuggled under a blanket watching her favorite movie.

LEO (July 23 to August 22): Caramel Waffle Cone Frappucino

Confident and domineering Leo loves drama and attention. Her ultimate snack would be something over-the-top. What's more attention-grabbing than walking into a room sipping a venti caramel waffle cone Frappucino? With sticky caramel and mounds of whipped cream-dotted waffle cone shards, it'll turn heads — which Leo loves to do.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22): String Cheese

Analytical and practical Virgo tends towards the healthier side when reaching for a snack, which is why she loves string cheese: It's portable, pre-portioned, and if she grabs the low-fat version, relatively healthy. And she finds great pleasure in methodically separating the cheese into strands and gobbling 'em up one by one.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22): Fair-Trade Dark Chocolate

Balanced Libra has a sweet tooth, which is why she loves eating fair-trade dark chocolate. Not only does it support a worthy cause, but she gets to indulge in a sweet chocolate treat. It's a win-win situation for her!

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21): Hot Wings

Mysterious and social Scorpio's favorite snack is a heaping plate of hot chicken wings. Not only are wings spicy, like her, but she also gets to share 'em with her friends, which makes her feel good both inside and out.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21): Roasted Seaweed Snack

Adventurous Sagittarius is known for being impulsive, which is why she loves noshing on a package of roasted seaweed snacks. The crispy sheets of roasted seaweed are salty and a little sweet, thanks to a few drops of sesame oil, a flavor combination which drives her wild.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19): Raw Almonds

Disciplined Capricorn is an earth sign, so her favorite snack is something grown in the ground. That's why she digs raw almonds — a handful or two will satisfy her. Maybe she'll occasionally opt for honey-roasted almonds or roasted salted almonds, but she always comes back to the raw variety. Simpler is better. To her, they're the perfect snack.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18): Cheese Plate

Wise, independent Aquarius loves being sociable, so when she's ready to snack, her number-one choice would be a robust cheese board brimming with artisanal cheeses, spreads, jams, and jellies to share. Not only does she get to taste a lot of different flavors, but she also gets to chow down while having a great time with friends. That cheese board puts her in a happy place, for sure.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20): Chips and Guacamole

Dreamy and romantic Pisces loves nothing more than swirling her tortilla chip in a mound of freshly made guacamole. She daydreams about being on the beach with her one true love as she swirls her chip around the creamy guac. Pisces, chips, and guac are a match made in heaven.
