Graze June 2016 Subscription Box Review & Free Box Coupon

Graze is a weekly snack subscription box that delivers either 4 or 8 snacks to your home. Snack possibilities include nuts, dried fruits, chips, flapjacks, dippers, soups and more. There are over 100 different concoctions to choose from! Each portion-controlled serving is the perfect pick-me-up for an afternoon at work or at play.

Graze employs an in-house team of experts to develop their recipes. They regularly source their ingredients from small suppliers dedicated to producing the best, tastiest products around. Graze chefs even tried 29 different varieties of raisins before finding the perfect one for one of their recipes!

While you have the opportunity to specify dietary preferences during the set up process, Graze is not safe for those who suffer from food allergies; all of their products are produced in the same facility. Still, if you’re going gluten-free but don’t have celiac disease, for instance, and you feel comfortable potentially exposing yourself to trace amounts of gluten, this subscription would be ideal for you!

Graze makes it very easy to isolate those snacks that are unsuitable for vegetarians, vegans, those avoiding gluten, dairy and soy. They also make it easy to avoid snacks containing nuts, bananas, chocolate, cranberries, pineapple and raisins. With one click you can throw out both snacks that require a microwave and those that are spicy.

Once you specify generally the categories of snacks you’d like to avoid, you can go to the “Our Food” tab to preview a list of available snacks. Here you can place each snack into one of four categories: trash, try, like and love. Once you do that, Graze’s Darwin algorithm generates a box to send out that is tailor made for you! Or, if you’d prefer, you can specify boxes according to nutritional content, including carb counting, calorie counting, sugar counting and high protein boxes.

Although the set up process is time consuming, it was a lot of fun. It left me excited to see what Graze would send.

This month, Graze sent me the following snacks: popcorn with a twist of black pepper, sour cream and garlic crostini, booster seeds, Thai sweet chili bites, strawberries and cream protein granola topper, apple and cinnamon flapjacks, chocolate pretzels and hickory smoked bbq peas, cashews and corn nuts.

This month’s package also arrived with props you can punch out and use in selfies. If you’d like to, you can use these shots to enter a contest to win prizes from graze. Cool!

Graze’s popcorn with a twist of black pepper was a real hit! Everyone loved it! And there was a lot of it (this picture shows roughly half of what one bag makes). Love.

While this was not my favorite, my husband absolutely loved it. He ate it happily while watching the Warriors bring the series to 3-3. The chocolate was more of a chocolate hazelnut dipping sauce. The pretzels were the thick kind and lacked salt. I’ll keep this as a love since it was my husband’s favorite snack this month and because I love him!

I thought the sour cream garlic crostini and cashews were divine. The flavor was perfectly balanced and not at all overpowering. The crostini added a nice crunch. Love.

I liked these thai sweet chili bites a lot. The dipping sauce reminded me of both sweet and sour sauce and pepper jelly. The baked soy bites were light and airy, reminding me of chicharrones. Like.

These hickory smoked barbecue peas, cashews and corn nuts weren’t kidding about the hickory flavor! I also enjoyed the crunchy interplay between the peas, cashews and corn nuts. Love.

The booster seeds were the most boring of all the snacks this month, which means that I liked them a lot! I couldn’t even discern salt in the mix. This combination of sunflower seed kernels, pumpkin seeds and flax seeds would make a great trail snack. Since no one else in my family will eat them, I’ll take them hiking with me later this week. Like.

The strawberries and cream protein granola topper is a delicious, sweet combination of oat and barley granola, strawberry pieces and yogurt covered strawberries. My kids were all over this almost immediately! It reminded me of the tastiest parts of Nature’s Path Flax Plus Red Berry Crunch with some yogurt covered strawberry candies thrown in for good measure. Love.

This month was the first time I’ve received one of Graze’s famed flapjacks, and it left me super excited! These apple cinnamon flapjacks reminded me of Subway’s oatmeal raisin cookies. These were just thicker and lacked the raisins. They were scrumptious. I was sad I had to share with my kiddos, who were equally impressed. Love.

I thoroughly enjoyed this month’s snack selection based on my inputs into the Darwin algorithm! I look forward to seeing what the algorithm will send next month. In the meantime, I’ll update my preferences: thai sweet chili bites and booster seeds–like, all others–love!
