A few months ago, I was reading Glamorable and saw an “unboxing” of a Graze box. I immediately followed them on Twitter and tried to sign up. Alas, I needed an invitation code. So I signed up. I decided it would “help my chances” to tell them I am a “big” blogger. In truth, I am not a big blogger, and nevertheless it didn’t help! But, good news, a few months later, I received an email saying that I was “in”!
What is Graze ? Graze is a healthy snack subscription box with a twist. The twist is that these snacks are all custom made for Graze and you can select, or boycott, the ones you like or don’t want based on your tastes and dietary preferences. Oh, and a bonus – they are tasty and super fresh, too! I even shared some of my second box with my Lean Green Bean Foodie Pen Pal! You can select weekly, bi-monthly or monthly deliveries. You can also select “light” (under 150 calories) or regular snacks. They arrive boxed in a light, eco-friendly, clever packaging with fun inserts:
I tried the Honeycomb Crunch, the Toffee Apple, the Super Berry Detox and the Natural Vanilla Seeds. Oh… and I also tasted some delicious “flapjacks” which reminded me of our trip to S. Africa! These are perfect snack portions and they focus on the health benefits of the snacks.
I really enjoy these snacks and would recommend them highly. Alas, they are still in beta test in the US. I have ONE invitation code. Want it? Tell me in the comments why I should pick you! You get your first box free! And all subsequent boxes are $5 with shipping included and you can cancel at any time.
PS. Glamorable also had an “unboxing ” of a new sweets box that looks totally off the hook called Orange Glad – looks amazing – I am resisting looking into it!!
