The Graze Box

From day one of starting my little journey to eat healthier snacking has always been my vice. I'm not saying snacking is bad, but I continued to constantly crave snacks in the form of sugary goods and I desperately wanted to substitute the chocolate and biscuits for some healthier alternatives. This is where Graze came in, I'd heard about this nifty little box quite a bit via the internet but the money always put me off and I didn't think it was something I'd ever actually venture in to. However, I was a girl in need of some inspiring snacks so I went ahead and ordered from the website. Now, I'm going to be honest here, my initial plan was to do a first impressions type post but I wasn't able to photograph my first box because as soon as I walked in the door and spotted my first Graze box on the floor, I ripped it open and demolished the flapjack within seconds, before I could even think about what I was doing, oops. It was delish though.

If you have a code which often come in leaflets with packages (mine was ASOS) or they come with your box for a friend, you will be able to get your 1st, 5th and 10th box free and will be charged £3.99 for each of the others (including delivery). Graze offers three different boxes, the nibble box, which is the one I get but also the breakfast box full of cool granola, porridge and museli mixes and the goody box, designed for kids. You can choose how often and on what day you'd like your box and what's also great is that, not only is the packaging recyclable, it's letter box sized so you don't need to worry about missing a delivery as you can be guaranteed that your box of treats will be awaiting your return. Don't feel like you're tied down either as it's easy enough to cancel deliveries and if you go on holiday, you can 'book a holiday' so you don't receive any boxes during the time that you're away. You receive four snacks of good sized servings in each box and a little booklet telling you the nutrition values, use by date and nutritional benefits. The whole thing is customisable too, after you've demolished your snacks, you can go on line and rate them which will determine how often that particular snack is sent, if at all and you get the option to tick things that you'd like to be sent in your next few boxes, pretty nifty.

Like I said, I never really thought Graze was something I'd go for and it was a bit of an impulse thing, my intention was to give it a go and cancel after the fifth but honestly, I'm yet to be disappointed. I have surprisingly enjoyed pretty much every thing I have tried (I gave the olives away as I wasn't quite brave enough to try them) and Graze has given me the opportunity and the motivation to try new, healthier snacks, quite often things which I wouldn't have in the house or consider buying. Considering I'm quite fussy and don't generally like healthy things that's pretty good going. The little punnets make great snacks for work and when you're out and about. I also think that some of the dried fruit/seed mixes would be great toppings for porridge in the morning! I love how the whole thing is designed, as well as the website and I think the little logos on each punnet are great for letting you know the nutritional benefit of that snack. 

I'm not sponsored by Graze in any way by the way, I'm just pleasantly surprised by the whole creation! It did seem a bit steep to me at first having to pay £3.99 a week but really, that's £1 a snack and they're so worth it! Even if you just want some healthy eating snack inspiration you can head on over to their website and have a browse as there's a lot of choice! Also, here's my friend code for you to claim your three free boxes: LY24WL3PPHave you tried Graze?
