First of all, what is NatureBox? This company prides themselves on creating snacks that are better for you than commercial snacks that we typically eat. They don't add preservatives, a ton of salt, hydrogenated oils, fructose corn syrup or other additions that just aren't healthy for you. All of their snacks are nutritionist approved and best of all the snacks are delivered directly to you. You can subscribe for $19.99 a month for 5 snacks, $29.99 for 10 snacks and it goes up from there. Every month you are sent items from your pantry list (a list where you can add items that you want to try). You can either design your own box selection or you can let the company compile a box of random snacks to send. The subscription can also be set to send every other week, every month, every two months and on from there.
I received my sample box and here's what I got: Jalapeno Cashews (single serving), Masa Crisps (single serving), Cranberry Medley (single serving), Sweet Blueberry Almonds (single serving) and Dark Cocoa Nom Noms (full size). I haven't tried them all because the single serving bag is not resealable but I did try the almonds and they were so good! I am not a large fan of blueberries but I found that the almonds were amazingly paired with this flavor. I actually want to add the full bag to my shipment in the future. The second thing I tried were the nom noms. The regular size bags are resealable so I felt comfortable trying them. One cookie was so rich and chocolatey. I enjoy chocolate, especially dark chocolate, and I felt that hit the spot. The flavor was completely on point and due to the richness the one cookie per serving feels justified.
I am going to try the other packs over time and I might do mini reviews to list what my experience was of them. So far I'm impressed and even if the other three completely suck I feel comfortable continuing the membership and choosing my own items for the June box. I highly recommend this product, especially at the trial price of $2. You get a lot of product for that little amount of money. Every sampler comes with a different supply so you may not get the same items I did but it's completely worth it to try. I look forward to more experiences and reviews with this company.
