Let NatureBox help when it comes to healthy summer snacks!!

Wednesday, May 02, 2012

My kids have always been bad to want to snack during the summer months while they are out of school. One of the hardest things I deal with is trying to keep healthy snacks at arms reach for them since we all know it's easier most times to grab unhealthy over healthy. I always keep a selection of apples and bananas out on the kitchen counter and for the past months I have noticed that if I bag healthy snacks and put them in a special box on the kitchen table that the kids will grab those over junk. This month we received a shipment from NatureBox to review and I was extremely impressed! NatureBox does a shipment once a month and every month contains different items. For the month of April, our box included:
  • Peppery Pistachios: (These were my absolute favorite)
  • Zingy Currants (I love tossing these in my morning porridge)
  • Smokey Pumpkins Seeds
  • Dried Pears
  • Cranberry Jubilee
Not only are these snacks healthy and fantastic for keeping at arms reach for the kids, but these are also great snacks and perfect sizes to take on a hiking or biking trip.

NatureBox is a company that offers a monthly subscription.  The price is $19.95 which in my opinion is an awesome price and it ships free! Every month you'll get a selection of curated, limited quantity food options.  NatureBox has their nutritionists put together a box and it ships before the 15th of every month!  If by chance you aren't going to be home at the time of arrival you can easily skip a month or have it shipped to a friend as a special treat! I really like that these options are available and easily to do since we never know when life may throw a curve ball our way!

I also want to point out that the products that you will receive from NatureBox contain:
  • No High Fructose Corn Syrup
  • No Partially Hydrogenated Oils
  • No Trans Fats 
  • No Artificial Sweeteners
  • No Artificial Flavors
  • No Artificial Colors
I feel really good being able to offer these snacks to my kids and since receive a sample shipment I have now subscribed!  NatureBox is also aware that some everyone is different and some of us have to follow a certain diet.  They are currently working on creating boxes which will address various dietary needs.

SHOP & SAVE:
Enter the promo code "HEALTHY" upon checkout and receive:24% discount off your first month of subscription.  or should you decide to subscribe longer the promo code will give you (1) month free on a (6) month subscription or (3) months free off a (12) month subscription!

WIN,WIN,WIN
