June is picnic month – the evenings stretch out, the park fills up after work and lunch moves outside whenever the forecast allows. So this box was built for a blanket on the grass: crunchy corn and hummus chips for sharing, a hydration sachet and an isotonic drink for the warm days, and gummy bears, a fruit roll and a single date for the sweet course. Almost 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.
What it is: Crunchy rings made from pea flour, seasoned with caramelised onion, paprika and spices, in a 50g bag.
Why we picked it: Caramelised onion on a light pea crunch, mostly pea rather than potato, so it fills you up more than a crisp does.
Dietary: Vegan. May contain gluten and milk.
What it is: Light, crunchy sticks of 42% red lentil flour and maize flour, seasoned with jalapeño, garlic and a sharp lime finish, in a 50g bag.
Why we picked it: Warm rather than hot, with the lime doing most of the work, which is about right for eating outdoors in June.
Dietary: Vegan. May contain gluten, milk and sulphur dioxide.
What it is: Whole corn kernels roasted until crunchy, coated in honey and sea salt with a little sugar and sunflower oil, in a 45g bag.
Why we picked it: Sweet and salty at the same time, with a crunch that survives the bottom of a picnic bag.
Dietary: Vegetarian (contains honey), gluten-free.
What it is: Tortilla-style chips made mostly from lentil flour and soy protein, with a smoky barbecue seasoning of paprika, onion and tomato, in a 35g bag.
Why we picked it: More protein than a tortilla chip has any right to, and the barbecue seasoning goes with a June evening outdoors.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free. Contains soya.
What it is: A crunchy, low-carb protein snack made with milk protein and a cheese seasoning, with 13g of protein in a 28g pack.
Why we picked it: Nearly half the pack is protein, it’s palm-oil free, and cheese is a friendlier way in than the chilli one from April.
Dietary: Vegetarian (contains milk), gluten-free.
What it is: Thick-cut potato slices roasted under high heat instead of fried, with sea salt and sunflower oil, in a 21.5g bag.
Why we picked it: Under 100 calories and half the fat and salt of a normal crisp, and the plain one lets the potato do the talking.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free. May contain milk.
What it is: Chickpea-flour chips with a sweet caramelised onion and balsamic vinegar seasoning, made with rice and maize flour, in a 45g grab bag.
Why we picked it: A grown-up flavour on a chickpea chip, and the sort of thing that goes with a cheese board at a picnic.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free.
What it is: Baked corn sticks with a sharp pickle-style seasoning of vinegar powder, onion, garlic and herbs, in a 30g bag.
Why we picked it: Pickle-flavour corn sticks, baked not fried, lower in fat and sour enough to make you blink.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free. May contain peanuts, soya and milk.
What it is: Slices of organic beetroot, vacuum-fried in sunflower oil with a little salt, made from wonky and surplus veg, in a 30g bag.
Why we picked it: Back from May because a crisp that rescues surplus veg and has three ingredients is worth sending twice.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free.
What it is: A soft 38g flapjack of gluten-free oats, chicory and chickpea fibre, dates, almond butter, seeds and freeze-dried strawberry and raspberry.
Why we picked it: Eleven different plants in one bar, no added sugar, and a prebiotic fibre hit that your gut will notice before you do.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free. Contains almonds; may contain peanuts, other tree nuts, eggs, soya and milk.
What it is: A cold-pressed bar of dates, peanuts, peanut butter, chicory fibre, raisins and freeze-dried cherries, with peanut flour for extra protein.
Why we picked it: Mostly fruit, nuts and fibre, and the cherry cuts through the peanut so it tastes less like a gym bar.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free. Contains peanuts; may contain tree nuts.
What it is: Two crispy wheat wafers filled with a 21% hazelnut cream and covered in vegan white chocolate made with rice drink powder, in a 45g pack.
Why we picked it: White chocolate wafer, no dairy, no palm oil, which is a harder trick than it sounds.
Dietary: Vegan. Contains tree nuts and gluten; may contain peanuts.
What it is: A soft wholegrain oat bar with a 22% peanut butter centre, whole peanuts, currants and pumpkin seeds, sweetened with date and rice syrup.
Why we picked it: The original of the bar we sent in apple and cinnamon back in April: just oats, peanut butter and a bit of date.
Dietary: Vegan. Contains peanuts and tree nuts; may contain gluten.
What it is: Pectin-based gummy bears in fruit and cream flavours, built on soluble corn fibre and sweetened with erythritol and stevia, in a 50g bag.
Why we picked it: 3g of sugar in a whole bag of sweets, no gelatine, and a fibre count most cereal bars would be pleased with.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free.
What it is: A dense 75g oat flapjack with milk protein and gelatine, cocoa, white chocolate chips and toasted oats, sweetened with sucralose and stevia.
Why we picked it: Built for a long walk or a post-gym slump: high protein, properly filling and heavy enough to count as lunch.
Dietary: Not vegetarian (contains milk and gelatine). Contains gluten; may contain peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, sesame and soya.
What it is: A single organic mahogany date, 91% of the pack, topped with Seville orange peel, in a 12.5g wrapper.
Why we picked it: High in fibre, no added flavourings, and exactly the size of the sweet thing you want after lunch.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free. May contain tree nuts.
What it is: A chewy fruit roll made from 100% mango, slow-baked into a smooth sheet and rolled up, in a 30g pack.
Why we picked it: One ingredient and no added sugar, and it unrolls slowly enough to keep a small child quiet for a whole train journey.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free.
What it is: A soft-baked bar of 51% gluten-free oats with freeze-dried strawberry, raspberry and blackcurrant pieces, sweetened with brown rice and date syrup.
Why we picked it: Whole food ingredients, no preservatives or emulsifiers, and it’s the bar to eat with a cup of tea in the garden.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free. May contain peanuts and tree nuts.
What it is: A 3g sachet of sugar-free electrolyte powder with strawberry and lime flavour, stevia and added vitamin C and B12, to mix into cold water.
Why we picked it: Zero sugar, low calorie, and it turns a bottle of tap water into something you might actually finish on a hot afternoon.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free.
What it is: A 500ml sugar-free isotonic sports drink with collagen peptides, electrolytes and B vitamins, flavoured with peach and ginger and sweetened with stevia.
Why we picked it: Low calorie, no sugar and a bottle big enough to last a whole run or a whole afternoon in the sun.
Dietary: Gluten-free; not vegetarian (contains collagen). Contains sulphur dioxide.
Nut note: This month the Nakd cherry bar, Pip & Nut oat bar, LoveRaw wafer and Bio&Me flapjack contain nuts or peanuts, and the Warrior flapjack, What a Date single, Well & Truly sticks and Deliciously Ella oat bar carry a “may contain nuts” warning. If you need a nut-free box, just reply to your order email and we’ll build one for you.
