A new phase in my life has begun, I am in search of whole healthy products that my family can eat. However I miss the convenience of fat family friendly foods, especially for snacking. I heard about Nature Box from a vlogger I follow, Clusie, she reviews some of the snacks she receives, the snacks sounded yummy so I thought I'd check them out. When you sign up for your monthly Nature Box delivery, you take a tastes quiz, complete the delivery info and the first box is free, I think I paid like $1.50 for shipping. I think it took about 4 days to get here so the turn around is super fast. It fit in my regular mailbox which is a plus since the dogs may have gotten it otherwise. So here it is the unboxing of my very first Nature Box. I am a sucker for creative eye catching packaging, so that is a big plus to me. I think that the free sample must have been 1 full sized bag and 4 snack sized, but the card inside said beginning next month I will receive 5 full sized products. The inside is well thought out and very impressive. The first product they sent me is - chocolate quinoa granola - this came in a full sized package - there are about 2 servings per container - 270 calories / 13g fat / 36g carbs / 4g fiber / 16g sugar - I LOVE that I know how to pronounce every single ingredient in this product - Oats, Brown rice syrup, coconut, almonds, sesame seeds. My 1st thoughts were, 'I could live without these, I am not a sweet or granola fan.I later took another taste'and thought they were better, they would be cook on the top of a protein shake. Later I did a 2nd taste test and actually enjoyed the cocoa taste. The next sample was a 1 oz snack pack of Jalapeño Cashews - - 160 calories / 13g fat / 9g carbs / 4g fiber / 1g sugar - I love cashews & a little spice! These were pretty delicious, the first taste was a little different, but I think it was the jalapeño. It does have a little spice, but not too much. It is perfect for a mid-day snack. Snack pack # dos is Grden Tomato crunchies. -160 calories / 13g fat / 7g carbs / 3g fiber / 2g sugar - I really enjoy these! These are almonds flavored with tomato & basil. They are the perfect savory snack. I will be reordering! The this snack pack Parmesan Garlic Pop Pops -150 calories / 9g fat / 16g carbs / 2g fiber / <1g sugar - Parmesan Garlic Popcorn kernals. Despite the fact that it seems like leftover popcorn pieces they are very delicious! I like to call these my little Pop pops. I will most def. reorder these too! The last yummy snack pack is Cranberry Medley -100 calories / 0g fat / 20g carbs / 2g fiber / 20g sugar - These are pomegranate and acai flavored dried cranberries & blueberries. I was pleasingly impressed. They actually remind me of the little fruit snack gummies I used to buy for the kids. I washed all of the sample bites down with my new soda of choice. When I am in the mood for a little fizz this flavored sparkling water does the trick. This is not part of the Natures box, Skinny Girl drink line was developed by Bethany from the real housewives.
