Seasonal Snacks to Go: Autumn Berries & Wholegrain CookiesCrisp, natural, on the move: With fresh autumn berries and homemade wholegrain cookies, you’ve got an energy-smart snack anytime—no additives, just flavor and nutrients.

Why autumn berries shine now

  • Seasonal & fresh: Blackberries, blueberries, lingonberries & rosehips bring aroma with short travel routes.
  • Vitamins & polyphenols: Support immunity and recovery—perfect for colder days.
  • Zero prep: Rinse, pat dry, box up—done.

How to pack your snack box

  1. Base: A handful of mixed berries, plus a slice of apple or pear for sweetness.
  2. Crunch: 2–3 wholegrain cookies (recipe below) or a small portion of nuts.
  3. Protein boost: A spoon of skyr/yogurt in a screw-top jar or a mini protein bar.
  4. Extra: A pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest for bright notes.

Freshness & storage on the go

  • Gently pat berries dry so they keep their bite longer.
  • Pack yogurt separately; mix right before eating.
  • Store cookies airtight—they’ll stay crisp up to 10 days.
