snack break

Brief eating recess

A snack break is a short pause in activity to eat something light.

The term implies stepping away from work, study, or travel to refuel: Let's take a snack break before the next session.

It's briefer and more casual than a meal break, suggesting quick refreshment rather than a full stop.
