Monthly Subscription Boxes :: NatureBox Review, Coupon & Giveaway {Ends 7/10}

NatureBox is a monthly subscription service that encourages healthy snacking. They offer minimally processed, deliciously healthy snacks, from granola and spiced nuts, to trail mixes and more. Their carefully sourced and nutritionist approved snacks are private labeled for NatureBox, so you haven't tried any of these awesome snacks before. With strict quality standards and a mission to deliver better snacking choices for your family, NatureBox wants to help you get more out of your day without wasting calories on heavily processed snacks. Sounds great, right? Yes, count me in!

What's Inside?

Each NatureBox contains 4-6 full size packages of healthy snacks, totaling 15-20 servings. Healthy snacking doesn't have to be boring, and with NatureBox, it won't be! Here are the five packages in my May NatureBox:

• Masa Crisps - These are quite possibly the closest alternative to Fritos chips I've ever tried! Crunchy, salty, and a rich corn flavor. I can't even tell the flax seeds are in there, which add Omega-3's and other beneficial nutrients.
• Cinnamon Spiced Almonds - These are lightly flavored roasted almonds with a hint of honey and cinnamon. Because they are just slightly sweet, these make a great snack anytime of day. I find plain almonds to be a bit boring, so these are perfect for someone like me.
• Honey Nut Medley - A tasty mix of peanuts, almonds, cashews, and pecans. Lightly sweetened with evaporated cane juice and honey, these are perfect for any time of day, just like the Cinnamon Spiced Almonds.
• Agave Citrus Granola - Delicious! I was pleasantly surprised with how much I like the texture. Instead of big chunks of crunchy granola, this is softer and crumbly, but very fresh, tasty and chewy. The light citrus essence adds a wonderful twist compared to traditional granola flavors. I found myself eating this with a spoon right from the bag!
• Tropical Trail Mix -This is your classic trail mix, but a little more tropical with lots of different types of dried fruit. As much as I wish there was a little chocolate in it, I know it's healthier without and it won't melt in the heat! The sweetness of the dried fruit makes up for it.

Healthy choices, eh? Yes, pretty natural and Buddy wanted more of everything. I'm actually considering taking a bit of the granola and topping my next batch of gluten-free muffins with some (if I don't eat it first!). I'm a bit of a brand snob so NatureBox has been a refreshing change and it renewed my often-leery faith in private labeled, no-name foods. NatureBox does a very professional job though, and each bag has the nutrition facts and ingredients on the back. Each one also includes the promise from NatureBox that their products do not have any of the ingredients that are in normally found in junk food. I think we all can agree that these exclusions are a fantastic step in the right direction towards healthier snacking and eating:

No High Fructose Corn Syrup

No Partially Hydrogenated Oils

No Trans Fats

No Artificial Sweeteners

No Artificial Flavors

No Artificial Colors

NatureBox is a great choice for an individual or family who are just beginning to discover healthier eating choices. None of these snacks we received were too extreme in terms of being raw or anything overly healthy for someone who isn't accustomed to it, so NatureBox isn't going to turn off anyone that has a very SAD (Standard American Diet) lifestyle. I would like to see NatureBox expand into Organic and non-GMO labeled options in the future though. It seems only natural for them to go into that since they promote healthy snacking and natural choices. 

What's unique about NatureBox is that their snacks are private labeled, so you probably haven't tried the same exact snacks before. However, the disadvantage to this is that they do not have the option of purchasing more of their snacks at this point. It appears that this is a feature they will be adding in the future according to their FAQs. This will definitely make the whole service a lot more appealing since the idea is to promote healthy snacking. If I find a favorite (and I found a few here!), I definitely want to be able to buy it again. 

NatureBox has an awesome program in place to help feed hungry children in America. For every box sent out, one meal is given to a hungry child. Companies that give back always make me want to support them! Feeding out children here in America is just so important and I'm happy to see NatureBox get involved in this way.

 I'm looking forward to seeing NatureBox expand and increase their reach to encourage more families to choose healthier snacks. I think this is a wonderful service and I really enjoyed what was in my box. There's even a card with recipe ideas and ways to enjoy the snacks in the box! Their snacks are fresh and tasty, and great choices for families on the go like mine!
