October is when the evenings draw in and snacking moves indoors – so this box leans savoury and sharing-friendly. There’s a big bag of seedy tortillas for the sofa, a run of crunchy bags with real personality (pickle & dill, tamarind poppadoms, chilli-lime peanuts), a couple of mango fruit snacks to brighten grey mornings, a vegan meringue bar we’re a little bit obsessed with, and two drinks to keep the 3pm slump at bay. Every snack 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.
What it is: A big bag of tortilla chips made with chia, quinoa and flax seeds, dusted in a smoky tomato salsa seasoning with a gentle chilli warmth.
Why we picked it: This month’s headline sharing bag – sturdy enough for dips, seedy enough to feel a bit virtuous, and it’s non-HFSS.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free, non-HFSS.
What it is: Baked (never fried) corn sticks in a sweet-smoky barbecue seasoning.
Why we picked it: All the crunch of a classic corn snack with around half the fat – the desk-drawer bag you’ll finish before you’ve noticed.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free. May contain peanuts, soya and milk.
What it is: Popped mini poppadoms tossed in a sweet-and-sour tamarind chutney seasoning.
Why we picked it: A Friday-night-curry flavour in a snack bag – light, airy and a completely different crunch from a crisp.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free, kosher, halal. Contains soya and sweeteners.
What it is: Roasted, not fried, potato crisps – 50% less fat than regular crisps – with a proper sharp cider vinegar hit.
Why we picked it: Salt and vinegar is the crisp people miss most when they’re being good. This one has the tang and only 92 calories a bag.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free, non-HFSS.
What it is: High-fibre chips made from activated (soaked and sprouted) beans and grains, with a smoky chipotle and zesty lime seasoning.
Why we picked it: Activating the grains makes them easier to digest, and there’s a good hit of fibre in every bag – clever snacking that still tastes like a treat.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free, non-HFSS. May contain soya.
What it is: Hand-roasted peanuts from Somerset, tossed in a chilli and lime seasoning.
Why we picked it: A proper protein-rich pub snack. Great Taste-winning nuts that actually keep you full until dinner.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free. Contains peanuts; may contain tree nuts.
What it is: Bright-green tortilla chips made with real avocado and a little chilli, in a guacamole-style flavour.
Why we picked it: Guacamole and chips in one bag – and it’s the one that always gets photographed when the box is opened.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free.
What it is: Pitted green Italian olives in a no-brine, no-mess pouch.
Why we picked it: A savoury snack that isn’t a crisp. Only 55 calories, full of good fats, and perfect with a glass of something on a Friday.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free.
What it is: Hand-cooked Yorkshire potato crisps in a sharp, herby pickle and dill seasoning.
Why we picked it: Pickle-flavoured crisps are having a moment and these are the best we’ve tried – tangy, moreish and made in small batches.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free.
What it is: Light, crunchy chips made with quinoa, in a creamy sour cream and chive flavour – without any dairy.
Why we picked it: Proof that sour cream and chive doesn’t need the cream. A lunchbox favourite that’s kosher-certified too.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free, kosher.
What it is: Crunchy sticks made from lentils, with a fiery jalapeño kick and a squeeze of lime.
Why we picked it: Lentils bring protein and fibre that crisps just don’t – and the 50g bag is generous enough to share, if you’re feeling kind.
Dietary: Vegan. May contain gluten, milk and sulphites.
What it is: A soft, chewy oat bar with ribbons of caramel – all under 100 calories.
Why we picked it: The mid-morning bar for the bag or the desk drawer. Non-HFSS, so it’s one you can happily give the kids as well.
Dietary: Vegan, non-HFSS. Contains gluten (oats).
What it is: A chewy, organic fruit stick made from pressed mango – just fruit.
Why we picked it: One of your five a day in a lunchbox-friendly stick. No added sugar, nothing artificial, and kids adore them.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free, organic, kosher, non-HFSS.
What it is: A rolled fruit leather made from apple and mango purée – nothing else added.
Why we picked it: A sunny bit of mango for the first properly grey mornings. No added sugar, just slow-dried fruit.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free, no added sugar.
What it is: A crisp, light vegan meringue bar with strawberry pieces, half-dipped in dark chocolate.
Why we picked it: A vegan meringue is a rare thing and this one is properly good – crunchy, then melting, at 94 calories a bar.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free. Contains soya.
What it is: Chewy Dutch fruit gums in safari animal shapes – gelatine-free and coloured with fruit and plant extracts.
Why we picked it: Every box needs one unapologetic sweet. These are the ones the whole household fights over.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free.
What it is: Two crispy wafers filled with hazelnut cream and coated in creamy vegan m:lk chocolate.
Why we picked it: The wafer bar that converts non-vegans. Organic, no palm oil, and dangerously close to the one you grew up with.
Dietary: Vegan, organic. Contains tree nuts (hazelnuts) and gluten; may contain peanuts.
What it is: A lightly sparkling blueberry drink with a splash of real fruit juice and a fraction of the sugar of a regular soda.
Why we picked it: Fizzy, fruity and low-sugar – the 3pm pick-me-up that won’t send you crashing at 4.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free, non-HFSS.
What it is: Sparkling water infused with bamboo leaf extract and Japanese yuzu citrus, with added silica.
Why we picked it: Something you won’t have tried before – zingy, refreshing and naturally low in calories.

The twentieth snack in every full-size box this month was a surprise from our shelf of favourites – it could be a pistachio-stuffed date, a seaweed thin, a fruit bar, a sour watermelon gummy or another pouch of olives. Let us know in the comments which one you got!
Nut note: this month’s box contained peanuts in the Mr Filbert’s bag and hazelnuts in the LoveRaw wafer, and a few bags carry a “may contain nuts” warning. Our nut-free boxes swapped those lines for air-dried apple crisps, roasted fava beans and vegan fizzy sweets. If you need a nut-free box, just reply to your order email and we’ll build one for you.
