SNACK ATTACK
SOS
Sure, we all want to adopt healthier habits in the New Year. Swapping those sugary
sweets and greasy crisps for wholesome in-office snacks is a great place to start –
and that’s where
BoxGreen
comes in. Founded by two finance professionals tired
of having unhealthy crisps and chocolates at their desks, BoxGreen sources and
delivers natural nibbles straight to subscribers’ desks on a regular basis – weekly,
biweekly, monthly, you name it. The company’s careful assortment includes freshly
baked nuts, dried fruit and granola, among other healthful bites; customer favourites
include Almond Longan Jelly (baked almonds and dried longans) and Chng Tng
(wolfberries with crispy lotus seeds). Whether you’re refuelling a team of six, your
entire office or just yourself, you’ll receive different snacks every time for the ultimate
snack-sampling experience. You can also buy individual snack packs before
committing to a subscription.
And, for every box sold, BoxGreen donates a meal through Willing Hearts, a local
soup kitchen that provides daily meals and other support services to those in need.
Can we say snack-time superhero?
