September is back-to-it month – new term, new routines, a diary that suddenly fills up again. So this box was built for grabbing on the way out of the door: crunchy savoury bags for the desk drawer, fruit and oat bars for the commute, a couple of proper sharing bags for the sofa, and two drinks that won’t send you crashing at 3pm. Every one of the 20 snacks is plant-based, and most are gluten-free too. Here’s what was inside ☀️
Our mini snack boxes contain a selection of items from the full size box.
