The 26 Best Snack Subscription Boxes for Every Type of Craving
Let’s be honest, the three meals a day model just goes to pieces without a decent snacking regimen. A good nosh can not only keep the dreaded afternoon slump at bay but can also give you enough energy to get a quick workout in before dinner. Yep, snacks are a big deal and we’ve got some great news, friends: There’s actually such a thing as a snack subscription box. In fact, there are gluten-free and vegan options, healthy snack deliveries, packages of novelty popcorn to satisfy movie night munchies, and boxes that arrive full of your favorite childhood candies…so basically, there’s a good chance one might have your name written all over it.
RELATED: THE 60 BEST MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION BOXES
1. Universal Yums
Best multicultural snack selection
Snack your way around the world with Universal Yums, a subscription that sends you a nosh box full of international goodies every month. This service promises to provide some fresh new ways to satisfy your cravings—you know, in case your current snack rotation has grown a bit stale. (You again, Cheez-Its?) Each box you receive contains a mix of sweet and snacks from a different country, meaning you can munch on Colombian treats one month and make your way through some of Thailand’s favorites the next. The folks at Universal Yums even throw in a booklet with trivia, games and recipes from every featured country—so it’s basically like globetrotting without having to get up off the couch.
Cost: From $15 per month
2. Bokksu
Best for Japanese Snacks
Tired of the same old, same old? We get it. The solution to snack ennui is to look to our Japanese friends over at Bokksu for inspiration. We promise that this fun box of monthly delights won’t remind you of anything you’ve munched on recently (think: green tea and lemon cakes, matcha Kit Kats and fried rice crackers). With a different theme in every box (like specific flavor pairings or festivals), you have the option to subscribe monthly or try a one-time curated box.
Cost: From $40 per box
3. Mouth Indie States of America Box
Best for Sampling the 50 States
Much like Universal Yums, minus the ‘universal’ part, Mouth’s Indie States of America box spotlights snacks from a different U.S. region every month. The selection of gourmet goods includes a combination of snacks (like Carolina BBQ potato chips or fruit and nut crackers from Vermont) as well as snacking accompaniments (oh hi, heavenly jams), and the deliciousness is delivered every month. Bottom line: If you’re looking for a steady supply of artisanal noshes curated to reflect regional flavors, this subscription will taste like a dream come true.
Cost: From $54 per month
4. UrthBox
Best for Health and Wellness
PSA: If visions of Doritos dance in your head, keep scrolling—UrthBox will not fulfill your junk food fantasies. The health conscious, on the other hand, will strike gold with this subscription service, which delivers an impressive array of health foods on a monthly basis for guilt-free grazing. The boxes also include juices and cleanses—you know, in case you had a lapse in judgment and need to purge the bad nosh toxins from your temple, stat. But healthy doesn’t mean unsatisfying: There are nuts and seeds, of course, but you can also count on receiving a sampling of salty chips and sweet treats (hello, antioxidant-rich chocolate bar) with each tasty shipment.
Cost: From $20 per month
5. Sugar Smart Box
Best Diabetic-Friendly Box
When the doctor tells you to keep an eye on your blood sugar, it’s best not to mess around, but that doesn’t mean you need to forgo grazing completely. Enter Sugar Smart Box—the subscription service designed to provide keto and diabetic-friendly snacks to anyone trying to stick to a diet without sacrificing flavor (or getting hangry between meals). These boxes arrive stuffed with low-carb and low-sugar snacks, all of which are seriously yummy by any standard. Plus, the products included are mostly full-size (with a couple samples thrown in on occasion) so you get plenty of bang for your buck.
Cost: From $28 per month
6. Kernel Crate
Best for Movie Night
Good news: Netflix and chill just got yummier—and you don’t even have to make a trip to the microwave to enjoy this classic movie night nosh. Sign up for Kernel Crate and you can have three bags of flavored popcorn, both savory and sweet, delivered to your door every month for easy snacking. That said, don’t expect your box to be filled with the usual suspects (kettle corn, caramel, cheddar). This monthly subscription is intended for popcorn-lovers that are willing to step outside their comfort zone. Hint: Only sign on if you can handle a little strawberry lemonade, barbeque bacon or hot pickle seasoning on your popcorn.
Cost: From $15 per month
7. HealthyMe Living Snack Box

Cost: From $27 per month
8. The KIDS Munchie Box
Best for Your Inner Child
A heaven-sent gift for your inner child (or your actual child), The Kids Munchie Box is a monthly care package chock full of an enviable assortment of munchies. OK, it’s not the most health-conscious or high-brow subscription box of the bunch, but we all deserve to indulge in a guilty pleasure or two from time to time. (Right?) This one leans more toward sweet snacks, with only a peppering of savory items, but the selection of candies scores high in terms of both taste and nostalgia.

12. Katz’s Seasonal Subscription
Best Lunchtime Box
The offerings in Katz’s seasonal subscription are a bit more substantial than other boxes on our list, but far be it from us to draw the line between snack and meal. All you really need to know is that the quintessential selection of deli meats, pickles and condiments that this subscription provides are top-notch. (After all, they do come from the landmark New York City delicatessen, of When Harry Met Sally fame). The truth is that the contents of this one can very easily be used to make a hearty meal, but there are no rules, and we have it on good authority that the cold cuts boast plenty of snacking potential. (Note: The price is steep, but the pastrami alone is worth every penny.)
Cost: $450 for a 3-month subscription
13. SnackNation Box
Best for Snack Time Staples
The SnackNation Box arrives with anywhere from 8 to 150 different crowd-pleasing snacks, depending on the size you choose, and the selection reliably strikes an ideal balance between healthy and hitting-the-spot.
