Brands and Partnerships We Love For The Month of Love
As we step into the month of February--the month dedicated to all things love--we figured it's the perfect time to give a shoutout to some of our favourite brands and partnerships. We're all about that business-to-business support, and this month, we're spotlighting a few gems that are making waves in the world of office snacks, beverages, and beyond. Let's dive into the delicious details and explore why these partnerships are worth raving about.
Pokko Chips
First up in our lineup of snack superstars is Pokko Chips, who we introduced last week as one of our partners supporting us in providing new, free samples of products in our mixed snack boxes.
If there's one brand that's seriously stepping up the snack game in 2024, it's them. Pokko Chips isn't just talking the talk; they're walking the walk towards a snack revolution, focusing on health without skimping on taste. Imagine biting into a snack that transports you to South Asia with its rich, aromatic spices like turmeric and Kashmiri chilli. That's what you get with Pokko Chips, which are crafted from the dynamic duo of protein-rich chickpeas and nutritious rice. These chips are a powerhouse of protein, healthy fats, and fiber, and they're completely free from artificial flavours, colours, or preservatives. It's a fresh and exciting take on snacking that we think you're going to love. For those who subscribe to our office snacks service, keep an eye out for complimentary samples of Pokko's Original or Spicy flavours in your mixed snack boxes this month. Trust us, your taste buds are in for a treat!
Joseph's Nutless Clusters
Now, let's talk about a brand that's making a name for itself in the nut-free and gluten-free snack world: Joseph's Nutless Clusters. A relatively new kid on the block, having launched in 2015, this local Ontario brand is quickly becoming a favourite for those seeking healthy, office-friendly, and school-safe office snacks. Made with all the good stuff like dates, coconut, and brown rice, Joseph's Nutless Clusters are a hit for anyone looking for a snack that checks all the health boxes, and right now they are on promotion at Pantree so it's a great time to give them a whirl!
Non-Alcoholic Wine, Beer & Spirits
Shifting gears to beverages, we've noticed that the trend towards non-alcoholic options isn't just a Dry January fad; it's a lifestyle choice that's continuing to gain momentum. To support this healthier direction, we've curated an exceptional selection of non-alcoholic (NA) beverages that are perfect for keeping office and home events and gatherings lively, minus the booze.
This month, our NA section is stocked with local craft finds that promise to keep the party vibes strong without the alcohol. Special shout-outs go to Collective Arts for their impressive lineup of NA beers and beverages made with real ingredients and no preservatives. Then there's Henderson Brewing Co., which offers a golden Toronto-Style IPA that's smooth and full-bodied, with delightful notes of pineapple, passionfruit, and citrus, all at a friendly 0.5% ABV. And let's not forget Highball, your go-to for NA versions of classic cocktails, ensuring you can enjoy the flavours you love without the morning-after regrets.
