Holland & Barrett Snack/Box Buy

Since I have had to change my lifestyle and eating habits back in October last year, I have struggled to find suitable dairy free and vegan snacks to satisfy my sweet tooth.

Low and behold... Holland and Barrett! Absolute life savers. They provide hundreds of snacks for awkward eaters like me. They even have vegan chocolate spread ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ

Not going to lie, it can be a bit on the pricey side but when you know where to look its not too bad. I always buy my junk food when they have their offers on such as the classic ‘3 for 2’ or ‘Buy one, get one for a penny’ and all that jazz. I usually get a decent variety of snacks for about £25. BUT, it does last me about 3 weeks which works out as £8-9 per week so not too shabby.

I don’t know why but this time I went ham on the crisps- but they are my absolute FAVE- and I also went a bit mad on the bikkies. Wellll, they were on offer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I wanted to post this sooner but I had to make sure that I tried and tested EVERY snack carefully and more than once- you know, just to be on the safe side ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

So to start off, the Eat Real Chips

Funnily enough, I first discovered these bad boys at college when they were selling them as a one off and one of my long time mates randomly bought them to try and they were SO tasty. Ever since they stopped selling them at college, I have struggled to find them and the different flavours. They are VEGAN, GLUTEN FREE and have NO ADDED SUGAR. My absolute favourite are the chilli and lemon. They also come in different sizes- the large bags I get have like 3-4 packets worth in each bag. This time the offer was 3 for 2 (not including the tomato and garlic bag) which worked out at £1.35 per large bag- BUT as I said earlier, they do go a long way.

Now, lets talk bikkies- one of the best creations known to man. Love a good dunking in my bru

Hands down, these are one of the the best biscuits I have ever tasted. They taste like a Viennese Whirl which I have desperately missed. These biscuits are GLUTEN FREE and VEGAN. They are annoyingly moreish so I made sure I got two boxes this time. They are £1.99 per 160g box and with the scrummy raspberry jam filling, they are must for your shopping list.

Next up are my favourite little snack packs

I LOVE these so much. They are little caramel whole grain snacks dunked in chocolate. I was so surprised by how good these were. These little snack packs are VEGAN, HIGH IN FIBRE with NO PALM OIL. Personally, I think they are too expensive for the amount you get, but because they are one of my faves I treat myself to a couple of packets every now and then- a 32g bag is £1.09 but if you need that extra item to get free delivery I would defo give this one a try.

It’s chocolate time!!!

My fave chocolate is defo dark chocolate and these buttons are soooo good. These are suitable for VEGANS and have NO PALM OIL! This bag usually costs £1.99 for an 80g bag but I always try to get it on offer.

This choclate bar is super tasty!!! This cost me £2.99 though!!! I feel like you should get thicker/more chocolate for the price as you only get 70g. This bar is SOYA FREE, GLUTEN FREE and VEGAN. I usually get Sainsbury’s own vegan chocolate as it’s only £1.10 and you get 100g but this one is good for a treat.

So if you like Reeses Peanut Butter Cups then these aren‘t that far off! I got these on the ‘Buy One, Get One For A Penny Sale’. I can only eat one little cup at a time though as they are super sickly. These are GLUTEN FREE and VEGAN and are great for a instant sugar rush pick me up.

I always buy this chocolate spread. They also do a dark chocolate version too which I am going to try next time. This is VEGAN and GLUTEN FREE and costs £3.29 but it lasts ages

and is great on toast, crumpets and with fruit. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
