You’ll only one item on the menu at Zenko Superfoods: a snack made from water lily seeds. But this isn’t some new-fangled creation; people have long been enjoying this ancient snack, also known as a makhana, for over 2,000 years. And now, this homegrown company hopes to shine the spotlight on this forgotten, health-packed ingredient. To make its superfood treat of Water Lily Pops (from $3.50), Zenko adopts a “seed-to-snack” model, working with local communities to harvest lily seeds – in a sustainable manner – from natural ponds at the Himalayan foothill. These are then sun-dried, roasted, then popped into guilt-free, vegan treats that are high in fibre, protein, and antioxidants. Try it as is, coated in spices, mixed with pink Himalayan salt, or tossed with cheddar cheese powder. For an introduction to this healthy snack, get the Water Lily Pops Bundle ($25), which comes with eight mini packs of four different flavours.

The Swedish idea of ‘fredagsmys’ is something we can all easily get behind. The term loosely translates to ‘cosy Fridays’ – a Nordic concept where the usual crazy night out is replaced with a calmer, more intimate affair at home. And to get into the spirit of fredagsmys requires unwinding on the sofa while enjoying comfort food and some favourite snacks. 

Try Swedish, an export program that spotlights Swedish food and beverage products hopes to champion this softer approach of welcoming the weekend in Singapore – particularly so during this stay-home period. To plan for a cosy Friday of your own, head over to the Try Swedish Shop on Redmart. There, you will find a slew of products to help set a soothing scene: sip on the popular Oatly oat milk ($6.85) as you slice into a ready-to-eat Daim Chocolate Cake ($9.90). Those in a savoury mood can nibble on Wasa sandwich snack ($1.95), or smear Arla spiced cream cheese ($5.40) on some addictive rye crisps ($7), washed down with premium natural mineral water from Åre Water.

Breakfast might be the most important meal of the day, but there’s no reason why Amazin' Graze’s granola can’t be enjoyed in between meals as well.

It comes in flavours of chocolate hazelnut, blueberry coconut, coconut kaya, and banana bread portioned into snack-sized servings.

The Ice Cream and Cookie Co. Founder Natasha Chiam found out that most snacks for children are often laced with preservatives and come highly processed, so the mother started making her own healthy treats for her son instead. With that came ICC Kids, with wholesome snacks that are good and tasty enough for everyone in the family. Highlights include the vegan banana zucchini muffin ($22 for 12) and egg-free carrot cake muffin ($22 for 12). But our favourite is definitely the brownies ($22 for eight) – fudgy and decadent, but still chock full of healthy ingredients. It’s made with over 40 percent zucchini – a great way to sneak in some greens while snacking. There’s also the Kid’s Ice Cream range ($16.95), in flavours of vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry, which is made with organic fresh milk and reduced sugar.
