Monthly subscription boxes are everywhere lately. Birchbox, Lost Crates, Love Club…I just did a Google search of “subscription boxes” and the number of options left me sort of overwhelmed. Generally, I think these boxes are really neat, but not worth $20-30 a month for things I’m not sure I’ll like.
So when NatureBox emailed me a couple months ago to ask if I’d be interested in trying out one of their boxes of snacks, I didn’t say no. Who says no to free snacks?
NatureBox is a subscription service that sends 4 to 6 different snacks to your door each month. The snacks are 15 to 20 servings in all…if you can manage to close the bags after only a 1/4 cup serving. NatureBox promises no high fructose corn syrup, trans-fats, partially hydrogenated oils or artificial sweeteners, colors or flavors. Every snack has nutrition facts on the back.
The contents of the box changes each month. July’s contained Zesta Fiesta Mix, Garden Tomato Crunchies, Sunny Trails Snack Mix, Lemon Pucker Pistachios and Southern BBQ Sunflower Kernels. I really liked the variety of snacks that were in the box and that each bag had such unique flavors. I never would have thought of lemon pistachios, but they were delicious. 4 of the 5 snacks had nuts, but I love nuts and the different flavors made it seem like totally different foods.
Opening each of the bags and enjoying new snacks this month has been really fun. I’ve tried to stick to the suggested servings and make the bags last as long as possible. Now that I’d tried it, $19.95 actually seems reasonable for these snacks; dried fruit and nuts are pretty expensive at the supermarket. I had mixed feelings about the amount of packaging, but a quick email to NatureBox let me know that the bags are made of recyclable rice paper so everything in the NatureBox is recyclable. Impressive.

Disclosure: NatureBox supplied me with a free NatureBox of snacks and the promo code. They’re also providing the NatureBox for the giveaway. My opinions, as always, are my own.
Sounds yummy. I’m a big fan of popcorn. Any flavor really, but I am partial to kettle corn.
Ok. I’m officially adding “Zesta Fiesta” to my list of potential cat names. Or names I will call myself if I ever become a Luchidora. But maybe that one should be “Zesta the Fiesta.”
Right, you asked about snack food. Well, I’ve never met a potato I didn’t like, especially when its been chipped and salted and vinegared.

I think I’d have to say cheesy popcorn or a freshly cut watermelon!
My favorite food snack is guacamole with chips.
Hummus and veggies; smoothies; pretzels.
I like to snack on nuts, especially pistachios and almonds!
Every week I make homemade protein balls to snack on. So easy to make! I usually do oats, flax seeds, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, tsp of vanilla, carob chips and sometimes even rice krispies. Stir them all up and then add in almond butter until there’s a good consistency to make them into a little bite size ball. I usually roll them in unsweetened coconut too! I stick them in the fridge and snack on them when I need a quick boost of protein.
I love these boxes! Hope I win!

I’m a HUGE snacker. Love granola, dips of all kind esp guacamole and hummus, nut butters and fruit, cheese and crackers, oh and of course chocolate!
Hi! I have been dying to try NatureBox. I am just wary about paying the upfront cost for the service, as I do not know what expenses the Fall will bring. I am so intrigued by the product. One of these days, I will just have to break down and try it. At least for one month. I am sure if I try NatureBox for ONE month, I will be hooked and have to save the money every month to make sure I can get mine. :) My favorite snack is OAT mixes. I like a mix of oats, nuts, and dried fruit. It’s satisfying, healthy, and DELICIOUSLY nutritious. I love your blog layout BTW. So cute and simplistic. xoxo Savvy Sassy Me
