Here are our suggestions:

Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Organic Chilli Flakes

Our olive oil is so tasty it can be added to pretty much everything! Pour it on salads, on avocado toast for breakfast and I like to add it to curries with chilli flakes for a chilli oil hit.

Nutritional Yeast Flakes

Great option if you're a vegetarian. You can add these to salads and Mexican bowls to increase the nutrient value of a work lunch. It has a great cheesy flavour and it almost “melts” onto hot food, it's delicious!

Organic Four Bean Mix or Organic Chickpeas

Tinned beans are super convenient because they are already cooked and ready to eat. They’re a great way to add plant-based protein and fibre to bulk up any meal.

Organic Rice Cakes

Spread avocado or almond butter on top of rice cakes for a light meal or snack. Celery is also great dipped in a jar of almond butter!

Himalayan Rock Salt

A staple ingredient for seasoning and a natural source of minerals. The finely ground rock salt is really convenient to store because you can sprinkle it straight over your meal.

Organic Brazil Nuts

Brazil nuts are a great go-to snack, especially knowing they are a rich source of selenium, which is good for cognitive function, and heart health and also acts as an anti-inflammatory.

Organic Tamari Sauce

Try adding tamari to leftover cooked rice for extra flavour.

Organic Unhulled Tahini

A good spoonful of Tahini is a perfect alternative to a dip or salad dressing. Unhulled tahini has a great rich flavour and texture, but if you’re after something a bit milder, then hulled tahini is also a good option.

Seeds and Nuts

Any kind of nuts or seeds are perfect as a snack at the desk, sprinkle them on yoghurt or over a salad for added texture and nutritious flavour.
