NatureBox May 2016 Subscription Box Review & Coupon

NatureBox is one of the oldest monthly snack subscription boxes out there, and we are still loving the snacks! Every month you’ll receive 5 snacks and can add on additional premium snacks (or sometimes sale snacks!). You can create a “pantry” of snacks that will dictate what snacks you receive– they have a huge selection from which to choose, and it grows all the time.   When you select your own snacks, you know you’ll liked everything you order. The amount of snack varies depending on what you select — usually 3 to 5 oz packs.  We used this box to both try some new items and load up on our favorites!

Pineapple Coconut Bar:  These chewy bars are much better than the big brand version, and they have a much better nutritional profile, too.  Pleasantly sweet and loaded with real fruit and nuts, these bars are not just crisps and sugary binding — in addition to the marquee pineapple and coconut, they have whole pieces of real almond, peanut, and walnut, plus sweet raisins and apricot.   Order several of these — they come in packs of three, but they go fast!

Asiago & Cheddar Cheese Crisps:  One of our frequent reorders, these are good snacking.  The cheese is nutty and sharp, and the texture of the crisps themselves are like crunchier slices of palmier pastry.  Yum!

Kung Pao Pretzels:  Possibly our favorite all-around Nature Box snack, we put these in nearly every order we get.  They are are nice rendition of a standard waffle-cut pretzel (our Minecraft obsessed kids call them trapdoors) coated with a slightly sweet and very fiery seasoning.

 The Asiago gives the crisps a nutty, tangy note that makes them more satisfying then just the cheddar alone would be — which means you may be able to resist eating them all in the first sitting.

The seasoning on the pretzels is very aggressive, which is a good thing — it has a bit of vinegar powder among the soy, onion, garlic, and pepper, so it really jumps out at you.  Occasionally you get a piece totally caked in seasoning, and you smile to yourself.

Sourdough Cheddar Pretzels:  The pretzel within these bites is very nice — it gets close to Hanover sourdough pretzels in quality of taste and texture, and it is far beyond that of your ordinary non-sourdough powdery pretzel.  The cheese coating is a nice accent flavor, and one can really taste the hoppy and malty notes of the real beer that is mixed in!

Whole Wheat Raspberry Figgy Bars:  These are hearty and tasty, and the whole wheat flour adds a really satisfying wholesomeness to the texture and taste.  The fig and raspberry combination makes a jam that is rich in flavor and appropriately sweet for the cake exterior.  Within the bag, these are individually wrapped and make superb travel treats.

NatureBox constantly modifies its catalog of snacks, adding new snacks all the time.  We always look before our order is set to ship to see what’s new, but we have a stable of staples that we make sure to fit in our rotation.  This subscription is a must for anyone that packs lunches, needs a work or school snack, or is just want a healthier alternative available at snack time.
