Snacky Hour Episode 3 Recap: Poshi Veggie Snacks Review

Welcome back to Snacky Hour, Crafty's taste-test series where real-life best friends and coworkers Becca and Dana try the snacks and drinks, share the employee perspective, and give their completely unsolicited (but very important) opinions. Missed Episode 2? Catch the recap here.

For Episode 3, we're getting a little briny with Poshi, a brand turning artichokes, olives, and pickles into grab-and-go snacks. Think everything you love about the pickle jar, minus the jar (and the inevitable pickle juice incident). Eat them straight from the pouch, toss them on a salad, or add them to your next desk charcuterie board.

As two people who firmly believe snacks count as a balanced lunch when you eat enough of them, Becca and Dana were particularly excited about this one. Could Poshi be the missing piece to their dream office snack charcuterie board? We're about to find out.

Key Takeaways

• Veggies made for snacking: Poshi brings artichokes, olives, and pickles to the office pantry in shelf-stable, mess-free pouches. No fridge, fork, or prep required
• Small snacks, plenty of perks: At 25 calories or less per pouch, Poshi offers vegan, gluten-free, and keto-friendly options with simple ingredients and savory flavor
• Olives take the crown: Becca and Dana ranked Pitted Green Olives first, followed by Artichokes With Basil & Thyme and Petite Dill Pickles. All three earned a thumbs up

What Is Poshi?

Poshi is on a mission to make eating your veggies a whole lot easier. Short for "Power Of Simple Healthy Ingredients," Poshi takes vegetables you'd normally find in a jar, gives them a Mediterranean-inspired makeover, and packs them into convenient, ready-to-eat pouches. No chopping, cooking, or fishing olives out of a jar required.

Here's a little more about the brand behind the brine:

• The idea: Make real vegetables as easy to grab as a bag of chips, with no chopping, cooking, or prep required.
• The process: Veggies are peeled, steam-cooked, and lightly marinated with Mediterranean herbs to preserve their texture and bring out the flavor.
• The lineup: Everything from artichokes and asparagus to cauliflower, olives, and pickles, plus larger Easy Chef pouches for cooking and meal prep.
• What's new: Pickles have officially entered the chat! Poshi's newest snack lineup includes petite and sliced dill pickles, minus the messy pickle juice.

Why Poshi Works in the Office Pantry

What's so special about veggies in a pouch? Glad you asked.

• No fridge required: Shelf-stable and ready to eat, making them an easy addition to any office pantry.
• All the brine, none of the mess: Liquid-free pouches mean no pickle juice spills at your desk (your keyboard thanks you).
• 25 calories or less: A light, savory option that fits right into a low-sugar office pantry.
• Dietary-friendly: Vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, and keto-friendly, so they check a lot of boxes.
• Simple ingredients: Real veggies, herbs, and seasonings. Nothing you need a chemistry degree to pronounce.
• Snack now, chef later: Grab single-serve pouches for snacking or larger Easy Chef packs to upgrade your next meal.

The Poshi Lineup: Artichokes, Olives, and Pickles

Three snacks entered the chat: artichokes, olives, and pickles. Naturally, we chilled them all beforehand because nobody wants a room-temperature pickle. 

Here's what was on the tasting menu: 

• Artichokes With Basil & Thyme: Herby, garlicky, and very Italian. We immediately wanted to throw these on a sandwich or pair them with a meat and cheese pack. Around 15 calories, 125mg sodium, 3g carbs, and 1g fiber per pouch.
• Pitted Green Olives: Fresh, salty, and perfectly briny without going overboard. As two olive lovers, we had high expectations. Poshi delivered. Around 15 calories and 200mg sodium per pouch.
• Petite Dill Pickles: Tiny pickles! What's not to love? Crunchy, a little tangy, and practically begging to be added to a charcuterie board. Made with simple seasonings, including vinegar, sea salt, and turmeric extract. Around 5 calories per pouch.

Snacky Hour Highlights

After tasting all three, Becca and Dana had plenty to say. Here are the highlights from their Poshi taste test.

• Not a bad one in the bunch: All three snacks were a hit, making the rankings harder than expected. Surprisingly, Becca and Dana ended up with the exact same order.
• No smelly-snack situation: Nobody wants to be that coworker. Poshi delivered plenty of briny flavor without leaving the whole office smelling like pickles.
• A refreshing change of pace: Sometimes you want something other than another protein bar or bag of chips. Poshi brings a fresh, savory option to the office snack lineup.
• Real food is having a moment: From hard-boiled eggs to string cheese, simple, convenient snacks are gaining attention. Poshi brings veggies into the mix, tapping into the growing bold and briny snack trend.
• Some snacks are better shared: Becca and Dana declared the petite dill pickles a communal snack, perfect for passing around the office so everyone can try one.

The Official Poshi Rankings

All three were a hit, but there can only be one winner. Here's how Becca and Dana ranked their favorites. Spoiler alert: They were completely in sync…as usual. 

1. Pitted Green Olives: Taking the top spot for their fresh flavor and perfect amount of brine. Both agreed they could easily finish the whole pouch in one sitting.
2. Artichokes With Basil & Thyme: Herby, garlicky, and full of flavor. A favorite for adding to sandwiches, salads, or a meat and cheese snack plate.
3. Petite Dill Pickles: Tiny but packed with tangy flavor and a satisfying crunch. They earned bonus points for being the perfect snack to share around the office.

Snack Hack: Becca's Snackuterie Board

Becca has a theory that anything can be lunch if you put enough snacks on a plate. So naturally, she took the Poshi taste test as an opportunity to prove her point. Her dream snackuterie board has a little bit of everything: protein, fiber, healthy fats, vitamins, and absolutely no cooking required.

Here's what's on Becca's Snackuterie Board includes: 

• Olli Prosciutto & Mozzarella Snack Pack: The foundation of any good charcuterie board, with 13g of protein and calcium from the cheese.
• Poshi Veggies: Artichokes With Basil & Thyme for fiber and potassium, Pitted Green Olives for healthy fats and vitamin E, and Petite Dill Pickles for a low-calorie crunch and a little vitamin K.
• Wonderful No Shells Roasted & Salted Pistachios: Bringing the crunch, plus 6g of plant-based protein, 3g of fiber, and healthy fats per serving.
• Clementines: A sweet, juicy addition packed with vitamin C to support immune health.
• Catalina Crunch Traditional Snack Mix: Because more crunch is always welcome, especially when it comes with 10g of protein and 4g of fiber per serving.
