October 2021 Treat Trunk

Now autumn is well and truly here, we’ve gathered up a whole range of snacks to accompany you on morning walks, the daily commute or nights curled up in front of the TV. We’ve even included herbal tea to warm you up on the cold mornings that are soon coming our way. And since it’s harder to roll out of bed in the colder, darker mornings we’ve included some great breakfast options, as well as plenty of snacks for breakfast-on-the-go too. As always, everything in this months box is vegan.

N.B Our mini box contains a selection of items from the full size box.
