How are there SO MANY different postal snack boxes these days?! I have tried out so many different ones over the years, so I thought I’d try out Snackly. Snackly is actually a Coeliac Friendly, Gluten Free Snack Box!
According to Snackly Founders, Sami & Yas who are both Gluten Free themselves:
“being Coeliac or Gluten Free doesn’t mean you have to miss out on awesome snacks so we’ve made a snack box that tastes great for everyone! All Snackly boxes are Gluten Free, Coeliac Friendly, and full of new and delicious treats.”
I really like the though process behind Snackly. & what I also like is that this gluten free snack box is filled with brands I haven’t even heard of. They source all their products from a variety of companies across the UK. A Snackly Gluten Free Snack Box for me personally is a great way to come across new brands without having to go searching. It simply just arrived in the post & the contents were a complete surprise. What a great thing to come home to! So here is what I received in my very first gluten free snack box from Snackly!
1) Kent & Fraser – Lemon Butter Shortbread
This Lemon Shortbread from Kent & Fraser was one of my favourites. It was incredibly refreshing from the zesty lemon & also had that all important melt in the mouth shortbread texture. I’d happily enjoy some more of their biscuits again anytime!
2) Easy Bean – Chickpea Crispbread
This crisp bread has the most flavour of any crisp bread I have ever tried! I love anything that has a subtle hint of black pepper & these certainly do. The buttermilk sounded slightly pointless to me, but there is a slight almost creamy, cheese flavour that comes through that I assume must be from that. Of course the seedy texture is a winner too. If I could buy these easily in a big packet I would. Perfect snack, & perfect to have with some cheese or dips.
3) The Sweet Reason Company – Salted Caramel Brownie
This gluten free brownie confused me on looks. It looked dense, delicious & naughty. However, it also looked like it might be a raw style brownie. Fortunately (I am not a big fan of too many raw things) this salted caramel brownie is the former! It is moist, it is delicious & if it was huge I would feel very naughty eating it! Luckily, it is the perfect size to indulge in. It tastes divine, seriously the smell alone when I opened the packet made me drool. (I love Salted Caramel anything!!)
4) Peace of Cake London – Fruit & Nut Biscotti
Whenever I am in a coffee shop I always see folks enjoying a biscotti with their coffee. Now, I might not be a coffee drinker but I will always want the biscuit that goes alongside the coffee! That’s why when I saw this gluten free & dairy free biscotti biscuit I was quite excited! They were filled with lots of my favourite nuts.. pistachios, hazelnuts & almonds. It seems the perfect thing for coffee shops to offer. Why should the gluten free amongst us not get their biscotti!
5) Beech’s – Anglesey Sea Salt Milk Chocolate
Who can resist a bar of chocolate? Not me. This chocolate looked delicious & I also noticed it’s been produced up the road in Preston since 1920! Eating chocolates that you know have been locally produced, using traditional methods, just tastes better. This milk chocolate had a delicate addition of sea salt which I really liked. I thought you only got salted caramel, not salted chocolate… but now I will be on the look out for more salted chocolate too!
6) Nothing But – Apple & Fig Snack
I’m always up for trying something new and this freeze dried snack was definitely something new for me. It definitely ticks all the boxes if you are looking for a flavoursome, healthy snack – both the apple and fig pieces are bursting with flavour. Whilst the freeze dried texture of these fruit slices might not be my cuppa tea, I’m pretty sure it’s the sort of snack that would suit a lot of people. Especially those wanting convenient, on the go snacks, when fresh fruit might not be an option. I must admit, Mark has taken them off me and is eating them right now, he loves them!
So…
When I think about all the items I received in this Snackly Gluten Free Snack Box it seems to me that all these little gluten free snacks would be most perfectly placed throughout the travel sector. It would be so easy to offer so many of these snacks, (& the snack boxes as a whole) to airlines, train companies, service stations etc. I often travel long distances on trains & rarely find any suitable gluten free snacks. These snacks are all new & different to me. It would be a joy to find them on offer whilst travelling.
However, as this is not an option right now, buying a Snackly Gluten Free Snack Box every month or so seems the perfect alternative. At least when travelling you’ll always have something gluten free & potentially new in your bag! This is definitely the kind of situation I will continue to enjoy my gluten free snack box in. With different brands every single month & it being a complete surprise who knows what I will get next!
