Graze Box Review: April 19

I feel like this is turning into a food blog lately, since most of the reviews are of cooking products or snack subscription boxes. I think it's mostly because of timing - the geeky stuff comes at the end of the month and food at the beginning. In addition, since we've cut back on subscriptions, the food is one of the only consistent deliveries we still have, since it doesn't need to be packed!!

This was probably the Graze Box I liked the least overall in my subscription with them, but it's still a good box. When they can make a bad box that is still good, it's a sign of the quality of the subscription.

Graze Review: April 1

I always enjoy my Graze box deliveries! This month, there was a real mix and that was exciting. 

On the top layer, we received Fiery Seeds, which were spicy sunflower and pumpkin seeds. This was least favorite, only because there were a ton of seeds and I have a lot of snacks now! We also received Thai Sweet Chili Bites, which are soy crackers with sweet chili dip and these were AWESOME! My husband and I fought over finishing them!


There was a pack of Lemon Drizzle Flapjack. Graze includes Flapjacks a lot and this was such a nice "it's almost spring" treat! They were refreshing and sweet.

The last snack on the top layer was White Choc Raspberry Cheesecake, a mix of white chocolate, hazelnuts, and raspberry cranberries. Trust me - this tastes as good as it sounds!!


The bottom tier included Key Lime Pie, which has become a favorite (mini meringues, vanilla cookies, and lime raisins), and Punchy Protein Nuts, a mix of pistachios, almonds, and chili lime cashews. I loved this, but I barely got any before my husband took it and finished it off!

I've enjoyed Garden of England before - a mix of dried apples, mini strawberries, and black currants. It was good and less sweet than the other sweet snacks, so I liked the balance.

The last snack was Tomato & Basil Pizza, which is another I only tried quickly before my husband stole it. This was a mix of tomato breadsticks, basil crunchini, and cheesy cashews.

Graze Box Review: March 18

I'm really enjoying the double boxes from Graze now and I truly feel they get my tastes for the most part (now that I've said that, I will get something weird next time).

There were only a few repeats and one was popcorn, which is always nice. Our top layer had the popcorn, Cocoa and Vanilla Protein Flapjack, Caramel Apple, and Natural Energy Nuts.

Graze Box Review: March 5

Signing up for the Graze Box double pack biweekly has been great, but now I long for the days it arrives! And both my double packs have been even better than my regular weekly pack (which was already awesome), so I'm happy!


I admit that I cheat and check my boxes while they're in transit to me so I know what I got. It ruins the surprise but when they're boxes like this one, it just makes arrival that much more exciting!

Graze Box Review: February 16

This was our first Graze double box, since we have switched over to the double box every other week now. It was also probably my favorite so far!

On the first row, the four snacks were Banana Caramel Shortbread Dippers with Caramel Sauce, Black Pepper Popcorn, Pomodoro Rustichella, and Tropical Daiquiri. The shortbread dippers were surprisingly the only snack I didn't love in this box. I say surprisingly because I like shortbread and Graze does an awesome job with dips and sauces. However, I think the banana flavor was too much, and it was that weird banana flavor that's natural but a little too not natural, if you know what I mean? Anyway, these are okay, but I would have liked plain shortbread more.

Popcorn is popcorn, but it's always welcome! The Pomodoro Rustichella was made up of garlic croutons, little tomato breadsticks, and tomato and herb almonds. This was extremely tasty and the perfect savory snack!

Tropical Daiquiri is a mix of lime raisins, dried pineapple, and green mango and was just sweet enough without being a sugary rush.

Graze Box Review: February 7

Graze just recently moved to an 8-snack box, so this is my last 4-snack box for a while. We will be switching to the eight snacks biweekly instead (maybe they can throw in two sets of that Summer Berry Compote...).

I'm a big fan of these snack boxes, because they have a lot of variety, hit the spot, and are designed to help you avoid oversnacking. The portions are small, but they're just enough.

Graze Box Review: January 30

This week's Graze box was amazing! And you can order big boxes of certain items now from them, so I may consider swapping over to that eventually instead of continuing the weekly box. I'm not sure, though, yet, so for now, I will keep the snack box. Besides, I like some of the items most that don't have bigger versions (see below for my absolute favorite Graze item ever!). They also added a low calorie, low sugar, sweet only, and savory only option.

Graze Box Review: January 23

This week's Graze box was, of course, delightful. It was probably my least exciting one so far, but mostly because the snacks were straightforward. There were no oddly flavored fruit mixes this time around. Most of the items remained as "try it" items that I don't mind receiving, but don't feel enthusiastic about seeing much more often than once in a while.

Graze Box Review: January 16

There's really not much better than a little box of snacks in your mailbox, next to bills and junk mail. This week's Graze box is fantastic, too, and I'm so excited about all four snacks they included. It was a perfect mix of sweet and savory (two of each).

Graze NibbleBox Review - January 6

If there's one box that's hard to find fault with, it's Graze, because who doesn't like snacks? (You can use this referral link to get your first and fifth boxes for free, too!) Graze delivers four small packs of healthy snacks to either your home or office and you can get the boxes weekly, biweekly, once a month, or really on whatever schedule you choose (you can always log in and skip a box or get an extra). I love that you can have them come to work even, so you can have your snacks at the ready. We currently subscribe on a weekly basis, although I'm always changing my mind. I thought it was more sensible to get the boxes less often, but, well, snacks. ;)

Another thing I love about Graze is that they tell you what you're getting once it ships and then you can go to your account after you try the snacks and rate them. It's a fairly simply rating scale - everything in their system is marked "try" when you start. Anything marked try will likely eventually show up. Anything you don't want or if you don't like the snacks you get can be marked "trash" and they won't send it to you. I did this before we even started getting snacks because I had to get wasabi peas off the list! Otherwise, I am generally up for anything because I'm not vegan and all of Graze's snacks are appropriate for vegetarians. There's an option to auto-trash anything with nuts, gluten, or dairy, anything that's not suitable for vegans, spicy foods, and even anything requiring a microwave! Because the packs are all made in the same facility, there is the possibility of cross-contamination for those with severe allergies, though. Your other options are "like," which means you will see the snack more often and "love," meaning you will have it sent regularly.

Isn't it lovely? Who wouldn't want a box of tasty treats?!
