GRAZE

Graze is a weekly snack subscription box that comes with 4 individually wrapped healthy-ish snacks.  It has different options to choose from based on your dietary preferences (low cal, vegan) and allergies (gluten, nuts). I chose the vegan option!  The snacks that come in my box don't contain animal ingredients (milk, eggs, cheese, etc.). You can also personalize based on your likes and tell them what to send more often, what to send sometimes and what to never send. This is the box that I received this week.


When you open the box up this is what you see.  There is a card on top telling what is inside. It tells the nutritional value and the expiration date (which is usually a week after you get it). All packaging can be recycled.


Fruity Mango Chutney. This one has a separate little section for dip.  I really like packets like this. One of my favorites is tiny breadsticks and BBQ relish.


Tutti Frutti.  This has pineapple, cherry raisins, blueberry cranberries & raisins.  The fruit packs are my least favorite (just my personal preference).  I usually give these to my mom.  They start to shrivel and go bad after about a week.  I prefer fresh fruit.



Seedsational.  I really like the packs that come with nuts and seeds. Sometimes they are flavored (BBQ, salt & vinegar, etc).  This one has roasted pumpkin and sunflower seeds with soy sauce.


Herby Breadstick Basket. The packets like this are my favorite (and probably the most unhealthy).  But this pack is only 95 calories.  Basil baguettes, garlic croutons & oregano rice crackers.  Sometimes I will eat these as soon as I get my box out of the mailbox. Like before I even get out of my car and go in the house. 


These are some from my previous boxes that I haven't eaten yet.  Fruit & Seed Flapjack (which is my LEAST favorite and I always give to my mom), After Dinner Mint (I like parts of ones like this - they have dark chocolate which is vegan and delicious), Tutti Fruitti, Pina Colada, Tropical Daiquiri.  Those last 3 are the fruit ones I don't care for and the reason that they haven't been eaten yet. 


Each box has a 100% recycled napkin at the bottom.  I think this is a little silly but I always put it in the kitchen and use it eventually. 


I have been getting Graze boxes for about 3 months now and it's always exciting to find them in the mailbox.  They aren't always consistent with arrival.  Sometimes I won't get one for a couple of weeks and sometimes I will get like 4 in a week (the post office may be to blame).  I don't think they ship from the US but can't find on their website where they actually ship from. The subscription is $5 per week (so $1.25 for each little pack) which is totally worth it. I always take them to work with me for a snack. You can choose to receive them weekly or less frequently.

Signing up for Graze is almost impossible unless you know someone else that is already subscribed.  Their referral system is honestly dumb.  Each member can only invite 1 friend and have them sign up (and I already have). So, good luck if you want to sign up!
