No time for cut carrots and hummus? These are the tried and tested supermarket snacks we recommend.

We've all experienced the 2:30pm wander through the supermarket, our brains fried after a morning of work. We also know from experience the disappointment of arriving back to your desk after dropping $15 on snacks only to discover that they taste like cardboard, leaving you more unfulfilled (and $15 poorer) than when you set out. In order to alleviate said disappointment, we're here today to bring you our tried and tested edit of supermarket snacks that never fail to deliver. You're welcome.

First Press 350mL & 1L Dairy Iced Coffee

Stay cool this summer with First Press Coffee's Iced Cold Drip Coffee with full cream milk! Locally brewed in Melbourne’s inner west, each 1-litre bottle delivers 10 shots of smooth, ethically sourced Arabica coffee from Brazil. For a smaller pick-me-up, try the new 350ml bottle – refreshing, lightly sweetened, and low in acidity.

Six different packets of funday lollies open with samples of the flavours spilling out.

These scrummy sweets are the ultimate post-lunch dessert or 3pm treat. They can also be used as currency in the office to get coworkers to do your bidding - they're that good. The best part is that whilst they satisfy your craving for candy, they're also doing you much better than your standard supermarket packet. Each bag contains 7 grams of plant-based fibre (great for your gut!) and contain no added sugar, no sugar alcohols and are gluten-free! Our faves are the strawberries and cream, red frogs and sour peach hearts.

Keeping a stash of ice creams in the office freezer is a game-changer (as long as they're labelled to avoid theft!). You'll save money by not buying them individually and can even use them as leverage with your coworkers. Proud & Punch's new Hazelnuts About Chocolate is a top choice being plant-based and only 99 calories per pop. Yummy!

Loco Love Chocolates 

We're not going to lie. Vegan chocolate doesn't always live up to its dairy-filled counterpart BUT this particular brand is notably better than the real thing. It's ethical, vegan and organic and their peanut butter caramel flavour truly tastes better than a snickers. Each flavour is also packed with superfoods so the late arvo guilt need not make its presence known.
