Graze October 2016 Subscription Box Review & Free Box Coupon

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.

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 updated their packaging (I love the beet theme!) and sent me the following snacks: White Chocolate with Wild Blueberry Toasts; Super Forest Fruits; Vanilla Almond Protein Granola Topper; Pizza Margherita; Tuscan Pesto Kern Pops; Viamin E Defense; Honeycomb Flapjack; Thai Tom Yum Soup.

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

We loved these Tuscan Pesto Kern Pops! Perfectly crunchy and well seasoned, these were a winner. Love.

We also loved the honeycomb flapjack. Sweet and soft with a drizzle of chocolate on top, these were devoured in no time. Love.

Pizza Margherita was delicious too! Made with basil crostini, cheese cashews and mini tomato breadsticks, this got a big thumbs up from both kiddos. Love.

White chocolate with wild blueberry toasts was equally good. The dipper tasted like icing. While my kids preferred the toasts by themselves, I heaped the white chocolate dipper on top. Love.

My son loves all nuts, especially peanuts, so this was a natural winner. Containing hazelnuts, peanuts, cranberries and raisins, this didn’t last long. Love.

The vanilla almond protein topper was fine, but it was probably our least favorite this month just because we loved everything else so much. It’s sweet and crunchy. For those who want their kids to eat nuts, but struggle to get their kids to try them, this snack is perfect. The almonds were so hidden that I had forgotten they were in there and almost sent this with my son to school. Oops. Like.

Ah, Super Forest Fruits, how I do love thee! These are sweet and delicious. I like how the apples temper the sweetness, although they’re also the first thing to go. My kids LOVE the apples in this mix. Love.

Although I love Tom Yum soup in general, I don’t love this; I like it. The real issue for me is that the included noodles and dried veggies don’t reconstitute as well as many of Graze’s other soup additions. This always leaves me a bit disappointed. Still, the flavor is good. Like.

In addition to providing nutritional information on each of the snacks I received this month, Graze also included voucher for a discount off additional purchases from the store.

They also included a coupon to Gymboree.

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: Vanilla Almond Protein Granola Topper and Thai Tom Yum Soup–like; all others–love!
