Naturebox Review

Okay, so I have been with Naturebox for a few months now. It's a love hate relationship really. When I first signed up I got one box and wanted to pause due to Christmas, but then when I wanted to resume my membership (late December) my card "wouldn't work". I got some spiel about it being my bank. Anywho, I got a new card a month later (Mid January) because it was time for a new one. I added the new one and still had some issues with them that I don't feel like explaining. Basically it was a back and forth, of them ignoring my emails and me having to get on a friends facebook just to get information about my account and if I was going to get a box or not.
Got my box, then February came and they didn't bill me or send me a box. I contacted them in March and they said it was because they'd be sending me the same box from January, I select my own snacks, I do not get a discovery box, so that made no sense to me. I believe that was just them covering their asses.
Soooo I set up to be billed on the first Sunday of every month and just got my April box.
Now that I got all that out of the way I'm going to review what I chose :)

I get the family snacker, so I get 10 snacks, 5 different ones with 2 of each kind. The 5th snack I chose was out of stock so they substituted it with granola. Which I'm not a fan of.... I really wish they would've emailed me and let me choose a new one but beggers can't be choosers I suppose.

First, are the cocoa almonds. It's a dark chocolate coated almond, what more can I say other than YUM?! My fiance doesn't like dark chocolate so I say yippee more for me. haha.

 Next, are the Honeycomb sunflower seeds, I really thought I was going to love these. Oddly enough I do not. I like them, I will eat them but they are not my favorite. They are salty and sweet and it was unexpected. I was expecting solely sweet and got the salt and was like blech, but then I act some more and was like "okay I can eat these they're not that bad". I guess I was just caught off gaurd.

Here are the cranberry almond bites. I expected a tangy/sweet/crunchy snack. They were oddly neither of those. Only slightly sweet, and barely any flavor really. They were good just not what I expected. They are made of a rice crispie type substance and ground nuts, and dried cranberry pieces. My 2 year old liked them so that's all that matters haha.

My last choice was the banana chips. I've had them before, they are my favorite things in the whole world. They're not overly hard, they soft dried bananas which is just amazing to me. My child loves them, my fiance loves them and I love them. I highly recommend everyone in the world try them. Unless you're allergic to bananas.... please don't eat them then lol.

Since my 5th choice was out of stock they sent me this, Vanilla Macaroon Granola. They threw a "try a new snack!" sticker on, I knew I didn't pick it before I even saw the sticker because I wouldn't choose granola lol. I am not a fan of granola. I do like it in my yogurt but other than that, ehhh. I mean I'm sure it will get eaten because I do not accept wasted food well. There are people starving and when I throw food away I cringe thinking "that could have fed a child" and makes me want to cry. That might just be my maternal instinct crying out to feed every child in the world but I'm well aware of how impossible that is for a single person to do.

Anways, since I just rambled for a paragraph, I tasted the vanilla macaroon granola and it was pretty good. It tasted like the basic granola. I didn't get vanilla as much as I got the coconut in it. There's slivered almonds in it too which add a different crunch and that's nice.

Overall it was a good box and I liked all the snacks in it. I recommend trying naturebox to anyone who loves to snack but doesn't know where to start for snacking healthy. I highly recommend their sunshine chips! They are amazing.
