NatureBox revealed
So a bit ago I got an email from Molly at NatureBox asking if I’d like to try out their mail order snack boxes. To which I said “really? me? of course? but do you have some gluten free items for HunBun”. Yes, it was like that – all in one sentence. Although they didn’t have GF certified items, they did send a variety that did not include GF ingredients but were made in facilities that processed wheat, nuts, etc…. Since HunBun and I got together I have spent more time reading labels on food than at any other point in my life….even when I’m buying “normal” food I’m still reading those labels. Good habits are hard to break! 😉
Back to the box (hey, my yellow polish matched the packing material – HA!)… So inside the box was 5 packaged snacking delights and a super cute explainer card.
What’s in the box?
PIstachio Power Clusters
Dried Pears
Lemon Pucker Pistachios
Wild Blueberry Flax Granola
Masa Chips
I LOVED the masa chips! I love salty & crunchy snacks and these were fantastic. The little bags are super convenient to travel with too. I took the masa chips with me on a 2 day business trip and finished the bag up while waiting at the Burbank airport for my flight back to Oakland. It was so nice not to spend $12 for a darn snack at the aiport – RIDICULOUS!
10yo is eating up the Lemon Pucker Pistachios. That Pucker is no joke…the lemon flavor is right up in your face and brings a sense of springtime to the pistachio. It’s a really great flavor combination. Pistachios are nature’s way of portion control…because you get so tired of opening up those shells that you only take a handful. Thanks Nature!
Dried fruit is always a winner and these dried pears were no different. They were nice a chewy and just a tiny bit sweet. We ate them straight out of the bag, but you could totally use them to top off a nice mixed green salad or on some steaming hot oatmeal.
If you want to try out a NatureBox of your own, lovely Molly and the folks there are offering you sweet readers a promo code that will get you 25% off your first month’s subscription. The 25% discount is if you do a month-to-month box order…but if you do a 6 month subscription you’ll get your first month FREE and if you do a 12 month subscription you’ll get three months FREE!
The boxes are seasonal and are a great way to try some new snacks that you may not find at your local grocery or specialty market. The bags are substantial and offer a lot of snacking opportunity. 🙂 As a bonus, on the back of the snack card is a recipe that uses one of the ingredients. My card had a recipe for Slow Cooker Tortilla Soup that used the masa crisps as a garnish.
Thanks Molly with NatureBox!
See ya later
