Graze is a weekly snack subscription box that delivers 8 snacks to your home in one little box. 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.

DEAL: You can try your first Graze 4-count snack box free with this link – no coupon code required! You’ll pay $1 shipping for your first box. Adjusting the frequency (or canceling) is easy right from your account.

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 setup 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 setup 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: Malaysian Laksa, Baobab and Raspberry Clusters, Banana Caramel Dippers, Fantastic Forest Fruits, Honeycomb and Almond Protein Granola Topper, Herby Bread Basket, Eleanor’s Apple Crumble and Pumpkin Spice Flapjacks.

My son and I couldn’t wait to try these!

I very much like the soft, slightly chewy texture of Graze’s flapjacks, and I love the flavor of these in particular! Truth be told, my family loves pumpkin spice anything, so it’s no surprise that these were winners for us.

Eleanor’s Apple Crumble is a combination of dried apples, raisins, and cinnamon honey almonds. It tastes like a deconstructed apple pie. Yum.

While I like a lot of Graze’s soups, their Malaysian Laksa is my favorite. I was thrilled to receive this! I’ve never had a Laksa outside of this offering from Graze, so I cannot say whether or not it’s authentic, but it sure is delicious!

My entire family also enjoys Graze’s protein granola toppers. I think this is the first time we received this variety, and it was a hit. My daughter picked out the chocolate coated honeycomb, and my son and I finished off the rest.

This Baobab and Raspberry Clusters snack with apple pieces and pumpkin seeds is new and delicious. I had never heard of Baobab before, but I’m delighted that it’s so delicious and good for me. Double win!

Fantastic Forest Fruits is one of my favorite Graze snacks. It’s a simple mix of blueberries, lingonberries, dried apples and cherry raisins. It’s sweet and fruity, packs well and leaves me happy and satisfied every time I have it.

Although the banana caramel dippers are not my favorite of Graze’s dippers, they’re a huge hit with the rest of the family (and my son’s French tutor), so I always end up leaving them in my queue. If it were me, though, I’d prefer plain shortbread to the banana shortbread in these dippers.

Herby Bread Basket is always a favorite around here, and this month its inclusion was especially welcome. I always enjoy having at least one savory selection to counterbalance the sweet snacks in my Graze box each month. Everyone tore into this, and it was gone very fast.

In addition to providing nutritional information on each of the snacks I received this month, Graze also included additional information about the benefits of beets and how to incorporate them into your diet.

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: banana caramel dipper – like; all others – love!
