Nature Box, March 2013

Hey All -

I recently received my second Nature's Box and wanted to share with you guys what I got! This is a monthly subscription service that is $19.95 a month for 5 full size snacks. I won't go into details about why I got this 2nd box, but I had also received the February box, which I really liked! This month's theme for the box is Spring Training. The packaging on the product is so cute.


The first item I got was the Honey Mesquite Almonds. Serving Size 1 oz and there is 4 servings in the bag. 1 serving is 160 calories. 


Taste Test: They are good, I like them. Something that you could only eat a few of. I thought they were going to be spicy but I guess the honey bring that down. 

The second Item I got was the Granny Smith Apples. Serving Size 10 Rings and there is 2 servings in the bag. 1 serving is 100 calories. 


Taste Test: They are good as well. I enjoy eating them, but I don't see how these could be filling unless I put some peanut butter on them or something. I feel like dehydrated things lack flavor and these do. This is something I would not reach for as a snack. 

The third full size snack I got was the Toasted Cheddar Stix. Serving size is 1 oz and there is 4.5 servings in the bag. 1 serving is 150 calories. 


Taste Test: Soooo delicious!!! By far my fave this month. I love those sesame sticks you can buy at the store and these just have a slight cheddar flavor that I'm enjoying. I would re-purchase another bag of these, so good which means I could eat more than 1 serving at a time!! 

The 4th item I got was Sunshine chips. This is a rainbow of vegetables such as sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, taro, and green beans. I'm a little nervous to try these. Serving size is 1 oz and there is 4 servings in the bag. 1 serving is 130 calories. 


Taste Test: Ok, as stated above I was nervous to try this. (Yes, I'm trying these as I write this blog post) I just ate a green bean, it wasn't bad. It was very crunchy and at the end could taste the green bean. I also tried a carrot, it tasted like carrot but really crunchy. I probably won't be tasting the other items because I don't eat them. I would not eat these as a snack, but I'm glad I tried them. They were interesting. 

The last item I got in my box was the Roasted Kettle Kernels. They look just like corn nuts. Serving size is 1 oz and you get 5 servings in the bag. 1 serving is 110 calories. 


Taste Test: These are really good!! They have the crunch and look exactly like corn nuts but they are sweeter. Corn nuts are usually salty but these are sweet but not too sweet. They do have the flavor of kettle corn (hence why they are probably called kettle kernels). I really enjoy these. This would be a good, sweeter but crunchy snack. 

They all say on the back:
*No High Fructose Corn Syrup
*No Partially Hydrogenated Oils
*No Artificial Sweeteners
*No Artificial Flavors
*No Artificial Colors
*0g Trans Fat

Overall, this box isn't bad. I'm not sure I will continue to pay the $20 a month for these, but it is a great idea if you are wanting to try some new healthy, natural snacks. The 2 items I'm most excited about snaking on this month is the Toasted Cheddar Stix and the Roasted Kettle Kernels. 

If you use the code REFER25 you will get $5 off your first NatureBox!!!
