What is this?
A healthy snack box business sells convenience and discovery: one box a buyer can order without overthinking. Pick one snack moment, such as office desks or kids' tiffins, give the box one clear theme and choose only five to eight products. Check suppliers and expiry dates, follow the food rules that apply, count the true cost including delivery and see whether five people pay.
