You Got Me Grazin

I'm sure buy now you've seen all the subscription boxes that seem to be huge in the blogging community. I've been wanting to try one myself, but I'm not that into beauty supplies or clothes, nor do I have a kid who wants to do fun craft projects. Which is why I was so happy to hear about Graze, a subscription box that sends you snacks, much more my style. Lucky for me, I even found a coupon for my first box. I figured I could try it out and cancel if I hated it. But to keep you out of suspense, I'm definitely keeping my subscription!
My 1st Graze Box
Graze has all of their snacks listed so soon as you join you can rate them all. If there's something you don't want to try, for me that was anything ranch flavored, you can trash it and they won't send it you. You also have the option of rating things Like, Love, or leaving it as Try, and they'll base your boxes on your selection. For me, one of the items I rated as Love was their Toffee Apple which made it into my first box.
Toffee Apple
Graze describes this as sticky toffee sauce with granny smith apple slices, which is most definitely was. There may not have been anything particularly special about the apples themselves, but with the toffee sauce it was pretty magical. For me it was a pretty perfect dessert, especially knowing it's only 70 calories.

Actually everything in my box was under 150 calories, but if you want even more detailed nutrictional info on my box you can check it out here.
Raspberry Coconut Muffin
The other dessert-like box I received was raspberry and coconut muffin which included amaretti drops, raspberry infused cranberries, almond slices, and coconut flakes.
Raspberry and Coconut Muffin
Each piece was delicious on its own, although my favorite were the amaretti drops, and I will say eaten together it did taste like a raspberry and coconut muffin.
Morning Energizer
Changing gears from dessert to breakfast was my morning energizer box with cherries, pear, and walnuts. Although it actually could have worked as dessert, but given the name I had to have it for breakfast.
Morning Energizer
This was actually my least favorite box, not because I didn't like it but because there was nothing special about it. It really just was dried pears, dried cherries, and walnuts. Although to put it into perspective, I still rated it Like and all the others as Love.
El Picante
Last but not least was El Picante with jumbo salted corn, hot chili peanuts, and mini paprika breadsticks. If I had an entire bag of this to snack on it likely wouldn't have been enough for me!

Lucky for you, if you been wanting to try Graze that I'm about to make you dreams come true. And honestly, I'm getting hungry writing this post, so I imagine you must be getting hungry reading it. I have referral codes that will get you your first and fifth box free, and may also get me $1 off my box, so I'd love it if you decide to try too! My referral code is SHOSHA3MP. Of course you can cancel at any time, but at $6 a box, or $1.50 a snack I don't see why you would!

Do you currently subscribe to any subscription boxes? And are you planning on trying out Graze?

This post is NOT sponsored by Graze. I did find a free coupon code, and do have a referral code above, but all delicious thoughts are my own.

  1. We're getting Naturebox. We like it. Graze's box looked smaller but cheaper. I like the packaging but I'll have a hard time getting the hubs to switch. He loves his Naturebox snacks.

  2. We also love Naturebox. I think the snacks are really good and a nice variety. We also switched from having a box delivered every month to every three months. It's a better fit for us and less expensive that way!

  3. I'm trying out Graze right now too! I've gotten three boxes so far. Two people signed up with my code, so my first box was free (I signed up with my cousin's code) and my other boxes were only $5 each. I'll probably cancel after my fifth free box, because even though they're yummy, I can put together similar healthy treats at home for cheaper.

  4. This looks awesome! And something like this is of more interest to me than beauty products because I am just not really into beauty care products and feel like all the samples would just accumulate. But new snacks to try? That's awesome. I think my gluten intolerance would make it challenging to try something like this but it's definitely a cool concept.

    1. I think if you really wanted to try it, it could work. They have all the food tagged, so you can search for all the gluten foods and ask them not to send them. It's actually one of their FAQs even! You'd manly be getting nuts and dried fruits then, but out of the ones I had those were more of my favorites.
