My Favourite Gluten-Free Snacks (and Why)

As the Head Snackologist at Snack Packs, I have the rather enviable role of tasting, testing, and curating a wide variety of snacks every month. With so many new gluten-free options constantly arriving, the choice is always evolving, and honestly, that’s what makes my job such a joy. No two snack boxes are ever quite the same, and that element of surprise is part of the magic.

But beyond personal enjoyment, there’s an important reason we champion gluten-free office snacks in the UK: inclusivity. Offices are home to diverse teams, and gluten-free colleagues shouldn’t feel left out during tea breaks, meetings, or team celebrations. By making thoughtful snack choices, workplaces can create a culture where everyone has something they can enjoy.

With that in mind, I want to share eight of my current favourites from our gluten-free snacks options, each one chosen not only for taste, but also for how well it fits into the rhythm of busy UK offices and homes alike.

1. Deliciously Ella Dipped Almonds – Chocolate Orange

Sometimes the simplest snacks are the most satisfying. These almonds, lightly dipped in a smooth chocolate orange coating, are a perfect example. The crunch of the nut combined with that familiar citrus chocolate flavour feels indulgent, yet still wholesome.

From a gluten-free perspective, they’re a safe, naturally nutrient-packed option. Almonds provide protein and healthy fats that help keep energy steady during long afternoons. They also tick the box for healthy gluten-free snacks that feel like a treat without the sugar crash.

Personally, I love these because they feel festive without being seasonal. They’re equally at home in a meeting room platter as they are at your desk during a mid-day lull.

2. Nairn’s Chocolate Chip Biscuits

No list of gluten-free snacks would be complete without something biscuit-related. Nairn’s have perfected the balance of crisp crunch and melt-in-your-mouth chocolate chips. They’re a classic tea break choice that makes sure no one feels left out.

In terms of inclusivity, these are brilliant for offices; they’re familiar, comforting, and taste just as good as their wheat-based counterparts. The oats provide a slow release of energy, making them a smarter alternative to standard biscuits.

I’ll admit, I have a soft spot for these during late-night planning sessions. They’re a reminder that gluten-free doesn’t mean compromise, it just means enjoying the same simple pleasures in a way that’s safe for everyone.

3. Propercorn Salty Popcorn

Sometimes what you need is a light, savoury pick-me-up, and Propercorn delivers every time. Their salty popcorn is fluffy, crunchy, and satisfyingly moreish. Best of all, it’s naturally gluten-free, vegan, and lighter than many traditional crisps.

In the workplace, popcorn has a special role; it’s shareable. Open a bag in the office, and you’ll see hands drifting over from nearby desks. That act of sharing makes it more than just a snack; it’s a tiny moment of team bonding.

I often find this one helps break up long meetings. It’s casual enough to keep energy up without distracting from the conversation.

4. Sweet Lounge Vegan Fizzy Watermelon Slices

Who says gluten-free snacks can’t be fun? These fizzy watermelon slices prove otherwise. They’re tangy, fruity, and wonderfully nostalgic, bringing back memories of childhood pick ’n’ mix, only this time, fully vegan and gluten-free.

They’re perfect for offices where you want to add a little sparkle to the day. Sometimes a small sweet is exactly what’s needed to lift the mood during an afternoon slump.

For me, these are about pure joy. There’s something about that fizzy tang that always makes me smile, and it’s lovely to know they’re an inclusive treat everyone can enjoy.

5. Eat Real Lentil Chips – Chilli & Lemon

Crisps with a twist. These lentil chips pack a crunch that rivals any traditional crisp, but with the added benefits of lentils: more protein, more fibre, and a lighter feel. The chilli and lemon flavour is bold, zesty, and incredibly moreish.

From a health-conscious point of view, they make a great addition to corporate snack boxes because they balance indulgence with nutritional value. They’re also perfect for workplaces where savoury fans far outnumber sweet ones.

I appreciate how versatile they are; they suit quick desk snacks, lunchtime sides, and even sharing bowls in break rooms.

6. Nomo Cookies & Cream Chocolate Bar

Gluten-free and vegan chocolate bars have come a long way, and Nomo has raised the bar. Their Cookies & Cream flavour has that creamy, indulgent texture you’d expect from a traditional chocolate bar, with the added crunch of cookie pieces.

What I love most is how inclusive it is. Whether someone is dairy-free, vegan, or gluten-free, they can all enjoy the same chocolate treat. That’s important in offices where dietary needs vary widely.

For me, this is the snack I reach for when I need a moment of calm. A little square goes a long way in helping me reset and refocus.

7. Trek Protein Flapjack – White Choc & Raspberry

This flapjack is both fuel and comfort. Packed with protein, oats, and fruity raspberry flavour, it’s topped with a sweet layer of white chocolate, making it a balanced, satisfying option.

In offices, these are brilliant for powering through busy mornings or recovering after lunchtime gym sessions. They deliver slow-release energy that helps avoid the dreaded 3pm crash.

I especially love these on days when deadlines are looming. They’re filling, tasty, and reliable, a reminder that gluten-free office snacks can be both functional and delicious.

8. I Love Snacks Pouch – Natural Italian Olives

Sometimes savoury snacks are exactly what’s needed, and these Italian olives are a brilliant gluten-free option. Packed in a handy pouch, they’re marinated to perfection and ready to eat, no fuss, no mess. The taste is fresh, salty, and satisfying, making them a standout alternative to crisps.

From a wellness perspective, they’re rich in healthy fats and low in carbs, which makes them ideal for steady energy throughout the day. For gluten-free office snacks UK, olives bring variety to the mix, showing that inclusive snacking can go beyond the usual sweet or crunchy options.

Personally, I love how convenient they are. The resealable pouch means you can enjoy a few now and save the rest for later, whether you’re at your desk, in a meeting, or commuting home.
