Hey friends… it’s my birth week. In true gift-giving fashion, I have for all of you one give away each day of this week. I am so excited because I have some amazing companies in store for you to learn about and hopefully make to be your new friends!
Let’s think for a moment what we want in snacks. Obviously we want delicious snacks that are healthy so that we don’t feel guilty. But how about convenience? I think that a lot of people head to the vending machine for very valid reasons… usually because they are hungry and they don’t have anything to eat.
An amazing company by the name of Graze Box seems to solve all of our snacking problems! Delivered to your door, Graze Boxes come with prepackaged and healthy snacks. These snacks are unique in their flavor and womderful in nutrients. Each snack seems to be well rounded in protein-fat-carbohydrates and also has a great boost of antioxidants.
The first graze box that I received had 4 snacks in it; Cookies & Cream, Hot Cross Yumm, Coco Paradise, and Mississippi BBQ Pistachios.
Cookies & Cream was probably my second favorite of the mix and full of mini vanilla cookies, white chocolate chips, hazelnuts and sunflower seeds. This was delicious and a great prerun snack but could definitely also double as a great dessert!
Hot Cross Yumm was my least favorite (but please understand that it was still amazing) and packed with orange raisins, miniature sponge cakes and cinnamon honey almonds. I ate this as a “Dessert” one night but wasn’t loving it considering what I had early in the day {Cookies & Cream}. It was still a great mix of flavors, just not what my sweet tooth was looking for.
Coco Paradise was my absolute favorite. This prepackaged goodie had in it, Belgium chocolate, coconut and cranberries. I’m glad that they didn’t send me four of these in my graze box other wise I would have stayed home from the gym eating all four of these. I can’t wait to either get another one of these in my graze box or to recreate it in my kitchen!
Lastly, was Mississippi BBQ Pistachios. These tasty little bad boys were so very full of flavor and very filling. I actually mixed them with some of my roasted (spicy) chickpeas. These definitely kicked my afternoon cravings to the way side and had me feeling good to go for my evening workout.
It seems pretty common for people (especially young women) to spend money on monthly subscription services that deliver products to your door. If you have wanted to try one of these, or already are participate in a few, consider Graze Boxes. I promise you won’t regret it, and hey… you are doing something good for yourself! Also, this can be used both a subscription service or as a one time fun trial purchase. Graze Box leaves it completely up to you!

My favorite snack is hummus & celery! Happy Birthweek Leah!
That’s a great snack Jenn! If you wanted to add an ounce of chicken too it, it would be an even better snack for a pre-workout. Thanks for the comment, You have been entered đ
One of my favorite snack is pita and hummus. I’m a runner so I’m pretty muh always craving carbs but try to steer clear so a lot of time I swap veggies for my pita but not always. Also being a new mom I’m always looking for things on the go and things that can actually fill me up. Happy birthday Leah! I love your blog!!
Love this snack… I try to stay away from carbs after 2pm so I completely understand grabbing veggies instead. Have you ever tried lentil hummus? It’s delicious and a great way to mix things up. Thanks for the comment and you are entered đ
My favorite snack are aussie bites! Perfect when your craving something sweet!
Ugh! I love those little guys… they make my taste buds so happy.
Never tried it, not even sure if it’s available in Canada but hey I’m up to give it a taste.
Just checked for you Leo and they are not yet shipping to Canada, however I will if you win! Hope you win đ
Chia Pop!!!
Oh, so very yumm!
I’m with you Joann, I LOVE Aussie bites! The problem is I have a hard time only eating one. So my other favorite snack is a fruit and nut trail mix. I love the combination of sweet, crunch and a little bit of salt.
fruit and nut trail mix is wonderful! Graze Box definitely offers some delicious trail mix like snacks.
Hmmm…. My favorite snack is chips and salsa!
I’m pretty sure I could live off of chips and salsa! Have you ever mixed just a bit of avocado into your salsa? I promise you don’t taste the avocado and it gives this snack a nice extra health boost.
Happy Birth Week! My favorite snacks these days are dried apricots and the digestive health Planter’s mix (pistachios, craisins, almonds and granola pieces.) This Graze Box sounds pretty awesome!
Well thank you Aimme! Yes, you would LOVE the graze boxes. They offer all sorts of dietary adjustments such as vegan and gluten free.
Ok, you guys all sound so healthy but I’m just going to be honest, my snack of choice is Lays potato chips. They’re so salty, that’s what I like.
Thank you for being so honest… I would have to say that my favorite snack would be cake then. Any kind of cake in fact… I definitely wouldn’t turn down chips though!
My favorite snack would probably be either chips and salsa or hummus and pita bread!
Hummus and Pita is wonderful! Thanks for the comment, good luck on winning đ
Happy birth week!!! I am all for stretching out your birthday as long as possible đ My favorite snack lately is an apple and a few almonds.
I just ate 1/2 of an apple today with garlic roasted almonds for a pre-workout snack today! Great minds think alike đ
I love chocolate chip cookies and icecream.
Seriously, this made me happy! I will tell you, the graze box I got had an awesome mix of chocolate, cranberries and coconut. It tasted like dessert, you would have LOVED it!
Pistachios, yum!
The box I received had in it the Mississippi Pistachios I talked about in this post and Oh My Word, they were wonderful! Hope you win and thanks for commenting đ
Happy birthday week Leah! If I have to choose, I would say my favorite snacks usually are any type of fruit (whatever is in my fridge) and as always guacamole & tortilla chips! â¤
Ahhh, yes the chips and salsa/quac combo seem to be quite the hit among all of us. Thank you for the comment!
