Graze Healthy Snack Box #1 Review + Box #2 Preview

I finally got my first Graze snack box in the mail today! I’m actually editing this post, as I had already written that my box was “lost in transit” – well, it showed up today, much to my surprise. This was a free box for me, but otherwise Graze costs $5/week. The box was very well packaged. It included a personalized card with nutrition facts about the four snacks included, as well as some handy mini “tickets” with my referral invite code to give out to friends (very cute!) 
I ordered the Graze Light box and here is what I received.
Habas Tapas: jumbo chilli corn, roasted corn & chilli broad beans
This was one of my two most favorite snacks. I love roasted corn and this has just the right amount of spicy in it. Originally, I thought it would be too spicy and had rated it with a “like” but I’m changing it to “love”.

Pear Tatin: pear, raspberry cranberries, yoghurt coated seeds & almonds
I thought I’d like this more – it was just OK. My favorite part were the yoghurt-coated seeds – wouldn’t mind having these just by themselves. 

Light Lemon & Poppy Slice + Afternoon Infusion
Unfortunately, this had an expiration date of 1/29, so while I tried just a tiny bite and it still seemed fine, I didn’t want to risk it as it had eggs in the ingredients. I would definitely put it on my “likes” list.

Super Berry Detox: blueberries, cranberries, goji berries & green raisins
Surprisingly, this was my favorite snack in the box – while I love and have been enjoying these berries individually, I never had all four combined. A very tasty mix! I’ll sprinkle some on my yoghurt-granola tomorrow morning and it’ll be delicious!

My verdict: I’m loving Graze box. I like having a variety of snacks to try and these are healthy, well-portioned, and handy to carry around in their individual mini boxes. They maybe on the smaller side compared to what I have imagined, but they are snacks not meals. Next time, I’ll try to not open all four of them at the same time!
Now, I’m looking forward to tasting everything in my second box. Take a look at what’s in it for me:

This time, Graze included three of the snacks I rated with “love” and one I rated with “like” – they all look yummy and I can’t wait to try them! NEW: Check my Graze Box #2 review here.
