Snacking Just Got Better: Introducing Snack Shots

Whether it’s for a pick-me-up on your lunchbreak or as a treat in front of the TV on a Friday night, it can be difficult to find the perfect snack to combat your cravings in the healthiest way. That’s why we’ve created an easy yet nutritious snacking option to keep you going, without the guilt.  

So, say hello to our low-calorie snacking option, Snack Shots… 

What is a ‘Snack Shot’? 

So, we’ve grabbed your attention with our super exciting snack launch, but what do we mean by ‘snack shot’. Well, a Snack Shot is a small, convenient packet of crunch roasted nuts and seeds. They’re ideal for people who are always on-the-go or those who don’t always have time in their hectic schedules to make a ‘healthy’ snack. Each ‘Snack Shot’ serving is packed full of fibre and is under 100 calories- seriously, what’s not to love?  

Available in 3 tasty flavours, you’ll have plenty of options to curb your sweet, salty and spicy cravings.
