Beauty is important, but let’s be real—snacks are what keep the espressOh team going! Between perfecting product launches and brainstorming the next big idea, snacking fuels our creativity. So, we’ve put together a list of our favorite snacks, rated on practicality, healthiness, tastiness, and fullness.
Sweet Snacks
Chocolate Gallette
Practicality: 10/10
The gallette’s light, crisp, and bag-friendly nature makes it the best “grab-and-go” option.
Healthiness: 6/10
Gluten-free, and reliably wholesome—gallette aren’t full of nutrients, but they’re (sort of) guilt-free. We go for the option with the most sugars because it’s tastier but you can get healthier versions. Just check the sugar contents and pick dark chocolate!
Tastiness: 7/10
If you pick the more sugary kind, the thick layer of chocolate is so good!
Fullness: 6/10
Good for light munching, but they won’t hold you over for long. Just adjust the quantity based on how hungry you are and you’ll be good to go!
Yogurt + Fruit or Granola
Practicality: 6/10
This one is best for those working from home days. We like to pack it with fruit, granola e raw cacao nibs.
Healthiness: 8/10
Packed with probiotics, fiber, and vitamins from the fruit, it’s as close to a nutrient-packed snack as it gets. Choose a granola with low sugar content!
Tastiness: 9/10
Creamy, fruity, and lightly sweet—like dessert, but with actual health benefits.
Fullness: 7/10
It’s filling but not heavy, ideal for keeping energy up until the next meeting.
Fruit + Nuts
Practicality: 8/10
Nothing easier than tossing an apple and some nuts in your bag. No hassle, zero crumbs.
Healthiness: 10/10
Fruits bring the vitamins and antioxidants, while nuts provide protein and healthy fats—a snack superstar.
Tastiness: 7/10
It’s sweet, it’s crunchy, it’s customizable. Enough said.
Fullness: 8/10
With nuts involved, this combo holds you over pretty well. A few bites go a long way.
Chocolate 90%
Practicality: 8/10
A sleek, pocket-sized snack with one flaw—hot weather. Summer turns this into chocolate sauce real quick, and it leaves a little “souvenir” on your teeth. Best for the cooler months.
Healthiness: 8/10
Rich in antioxidants and lower in sugar than most chocolate, it’s a treat that’s actually good for you.
Tastiness: 9/10
Deep, intense, and perfectly bittersweet, it’s a grown-up chocolate for grown-up cravings.
Fullness: 5/10
This one’s here for the chocolate craving, not for fullness. It’s the snack your taste buds want more than your stomach.
Mikado Dark Chocolate
Practicality: 10/10
The ultimate “snack on the go” with no need for a plate, napkin, or spoon.
Healthiness: 5/10
Better than your typical candy bar, but you’re here for fun, not a nutritional boost.
Tastiness: 10/10
Crispy, chocolatey perfection with just enough chocolate to satisfy.
Fullness: 4/10
They’re a little too light to last long but great for a quick mood boost.
Sliced Apple + Peanut Butter
Practicality: 7/10
Requires some assembling and a little discretion in the break room, but so worth it.
Healthiness: 10/10
An apple for fiber and vitamins, peanut butter for healthy fats—this combo is as wholesome as it gets.
Tastiness: 8/10
Sweet, crunchy, and creamy all in one. It’s like a health-conscious indulgence.
Fullness: 9/10
Thanks to peanut butter’s filling power, this snack actually sticks around in your stomach a while.
Savory Snacks
Hummus + Crackers or Baby Carrots
Practicality: 7/10
Simple, tasty, and travel-friendly if you’ve got the right container. No mess, no stress.
Healthiness: 9/10
Hummus is packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Throw in some veggies for extra crunch and nutrients.
Tastiness: 9/10
Smooth, creamy hummus makes everything better—especially when paired with crispy crackers or carrots.
Fullness: 8/10
Hummus is more filling than it looks, especially if you go heavy on the veggies.
Pizzette or Focaccia
Practicality: 6/10
Not the most travel-friendly, but worth every bit of effort. Just be sure to pack a napkin.
Healthiness: 5/10
Pizzette and focaccia stretch the definition of “healthy,” but sometimes, the heart wants carbs. You feel us?
Tastiness: 10/10
There’s nothing like the soft, savory, carby goodness of pizzette. Each bite is like a mini-vacation.
Fullness: 7/10
With a bit of dough and a bit of oil, it’s satisfying, but not heavy enough for a meal replacement.
Fiorentini Triangoli Legumi
Practicality: 10/10
Snack perfection. No spills, no refrigeration, and super crunchy.
Healthiness: 7/10
High in fiber, lower in grease than chips, and made from legumes for extra protein power.
Tastiness: 7/10
Crunchy, tasty, and satisfying, but they could use a sidekick (hummus, we’re looking at you).
Fullness: 6/10
Light and crispy, these are more for satisfying a craving than keeping you full for hours.
Accessories: The Perfect Drink Combos
No snack experience is complete without a drink that brings it all together. Here’s our top three favorite drink “accessories” and the snack pairings that make them shine:
- Cappuccino
It’s the perfect partner for sweet bites, and it brings out a rich, complementary flavor. Pair it with Chocolate 85%, Yogurt + Granola for a creamy contrast. - The OJ (Orange Juice)
The zing of citrus is a natural with snacks that need a touch of freshness to balance the richness. Try pairing it with Mikado Dark Chocolate for a delightful twist or with 85% Dark Chocolate - Tisana (Herbal Tea)
It’s the perfect partner to savory or subtly sweet snacks, like Fruit + Nuts, Sliced Apple + Peanut Butter.
