Products: Snack in a Bag

Who doesn't love to snack while watching a film or working at the computer or even while commuting? Crisps and pop corns are the first things that come to mind but there are many more options, original, fruity and healthy as well. I've picked some of them .

*Vegan/Gluten Free* Ape Snacks has got a great range of crunchy coconut snacks that are vegan, gluten free and with no added sugar. The choice is between Bites and Curls and they are quite savoury with spices, sesame seeds, chia seeds or salted chocolate. All the main supermarkets stock them, once you 've tried them it will be difficult  to give them up. www.apesnacks.com

*Vegan/Vegetarian/Gluten Free* I love veggie crisps and the Brown Bag Crisps "Beetroot, Carrot and Parsnips" are delicious. They are suitable for vegans, coeliacs, vegetarians and they are gluten free and dairy free. So most of the food intolerance and lifestyles are covered. Also they have 30%  less fat than other brands so it is a guilty free snack and good for somebody on a diet  who sometimes wants to  have a treat without compromising the effort of a diet. You can find them in Selfridges or check the website for more info of where to find them. www.brownbagcrisps.co.uk

*Gluten Free/Vegetarian*  Burts Chips has got a great selection of crisps and other snacks in a bag. Among them I've chosen the newly launched in 2017, the  Quinoa Crinkles, both Gluten free and delicious. The Sweet Pepper & Chorizo is not suitable for vegetarians while the West Country Cream Cheese is. Both snacks have got their flavours sourced from real British Chorizo or real West Country Cheese. You can find them everywhere from the main supermarkets to the small corner shop. www.burtschips.com

*Vegetarian/Gluten Free* It is not strictly in a bag but these  Easy Bean chickpea crispbread boxes are a great way to snack and be healthy. Available in five options, they are Gluten Free, Wheat Free and they are suitable for vegetarians. I wouldn't know which one is my favourite because they are all very tasty and you can eat them on their own or with cheese, soups or salads. You can find them at Ocado or Holland & Barrett among other outlets. Check the website to know more at  www.easybean.co.uk

The Fairfield Farm Lentil Bites are available in three tasty flavours, one is vegetarian which is the Blue Cheese one and the two vegan and vegetarian options  with the Tomato & Herb, here pictured and the Jalapeno & Lime. All of them are Gluten Free and you can find them on Amazon among other outlets. Check them online at www.fairfieldfarmcrisps.co.uk

*Vegan/Vegetarians/Gluten Free* Quinoa is very popular  as well as being healthy, so Scrubbys has thought of making some guilt free snacks using quinoa and adding delicious flavours to  it.
