Life - A Little Bit of What You Fancy Does You Good

9:04:00 pm

Hi Hunnis,
 
I have now recieved six Graze Boxes and instead of posting a review every single week I decided to do this type of post where I will tell you about some of my favourite snacks and nibbles I have recieved so far..  As I have now had quite a few boxes I have changed my weekly subscription to monthly because it was becoming less of a treat.
 
If you would like to find out more about how Graze Box works and how to get your first Graze Box Free please have a look here.



 Toffee Apple
Sticky toffee sauce with granny smith apple slices
This is my ultimate favourite snack I have recieved so far, I wasn't sure I would like the dried apple at first but as soon as I took my first bite I loved it.  The apple dipped into the toffee sauce is just a dream combination with both flavours going so well together.  I hope I get this again soon

 Heart Healthy Nuts
Red skin peanuts, pecans, almonds and brazil nuts.
I love nuts, all types of nuts there really isn't a nut I dont like so this was perfect for me.  I like that they are not flavoured with anything and are completely natural and as they come.  This is one of the healthier snacks I have enjoyed.
 
 Jaffa Cake
Roasted hazelnuts, orange infused raisins and dark chocolate buttons
Now who doesn't love a jaffa cake biscuit, so what is there not to love about a healthier alternative?  I loved how the amazing chefs at Graze have managed to recreate the classic.  The orange infused raisins are to die for and I really wish you could buy these in the supermarket (if anyone has found these please let me know). Mixed with the dark chocolate buttons it really is a taste sensation but and that is a very small but, Im not overly keen on the hazelnuts in this one I think that replaced with mini sponge pieces this would be more jaffa cake like.

 Summer Berry Flapjack
Rustic rolled out flapjack with berry infused cranberries
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!  I recieved this box one saturday morning and as soon as I seen this was in there I rushed to the kitchen, got a glass of ice cold milk and enjoyed this for breakfast.  The flapjack just melts in your mouth and you can taste the butter and syrup used to make it stick together which is lovely.  The berry flavoured cranberries are just a delight, so fruity and packed full of flavour.  The portion size with this was great as you are given 3 fingers of flapjack.
 
 Dark Rocky Road
Pecan nuts, cranberries and dark chocolate buttons
This was lovely and simple, three of my favourite flavours all in the same pot-winner!  These all taste really nice together, I would be happy to see this in a future box.
 

Healthy Popping Corn
Slightly sweet popcorn seeds
I recieved this in my latest box and was really excited, mainly because im a big kid and couldn't wait to cook it in the microwave and wait for the pops.  It only took about 50 seconds to cook in the microwave, thank goodness there were instructions or I would have burned it. This was delicious and just like at the cinema, the perfect sweetness.  I really liked that you had to cook this yourself as it was as fresh as it could be.
 
Billionaires Shortbread
Almonds, fudge pieces, chocolate drops and cranberries
This was delicious just an absolute treat, all the ingredients are just perfect together. Being honest anything with chocolate and fudge in the same box is going to be a favourite of mine, I have such a sweet tooth.  I have clicked send soon with this so fingers crossed it comes in my next box.

Eton Mess
Almond slices, blackcurrants, mini meringues and cranberries
I loved this, expecially the little meringues they are so cute.  The almond slices and cranberries were really tasty together.
 
There you have it my favourites so far, I hope to find some new favourites in future Graze Boxes I recieve.
 
What are your favourite snacks and nibbles from the Graze kitchens?
 
Lots of Love

Life - Graze Box Review

5:50:00 pm


Hey hunni's,
 
 I have recieved my first ever Graze Box, after all the hype I have seen about these boxes I was delighted that it lived up to the hype and really enjoyed it.
 
In case you havent heard about these yummy boxes, Graze Box is a subsribtion box with over one hundred healthy and nutritious yummy snacks to choose from, four are included in each box. It is delivered straight to your door every week via Royal Mail in with your normal post so no need to sign for it and it fits through your letter box. You are not tied in at all as this subscription can be cancelled at any time.



When I signed up I had a discount code that intitled me to my first and fifth box free of charge which was excellent as if I did not enjoy my first free box I could cancel my subscription and that would be the end of graze box for me, fortunately I love my box and can't wait until my next one comes.
 
On the website you can rate the different snacks with the four options bin, try, like and love.  If you 'bin' a snack you will never recieve this in one of your boxes, goodbye olives!  If you 'try' a snack you will recieve this once.  If you 'like' a snack you will recieve this occassionally in your box.  If you 'love' a snack you will recieve this regularly in your box and even have the option to 'send soon'.  By giving graze box this information they can hand pick a box that they think you would enjoy.  After spending a while rating all the snacks they have to offer the box I recieved was perfectly suited to me.
 
 Bonnie Wee Oatbakes
Cheese and chive oatbakes with red onion marmalade
This was my favourite snack in the box, the oatbakes were delicious alone and just devine with a little smudge of the marmalade on the top.  This is the kind of savory treat I enjoy.
 
 Marvellous Macaroon
Amaretti drops, almond slices, coconut flakes and giant white chocolate buttons.
I was really looking forward to this one as I love all the ingredients, I did enjoy it but didnt love it.  I liked the amaretti drops, almond slices and coconut flakes together but as soon as you throw a white chocolate button into the mix all the other flavours are lost and it just becomes a big chocolate fest.
 
 Yin and Yang
Blanched almonds, jumbo raisins, dark chocolate buttons and cherries
Again I loved all the ingredients of this little pot of goodness, and they all worked really well together.  Unlike the white chocolate buttons these dark ones did not over power any of the other flavours and it was very balanced.  The cherries were my favourite.
 
Sticky Chocolate Pudding
Milk chocolate drops, jumbo raisins and green raisins
If you haven't guessed by now I love chocolate.  The name of this snack is what caught my eye and it was delicious but being a pudding I think this could be improved by adding some sponge balls to it.  I had never tryed green raisins before and they were pleasantly lovely.
 
After seeing those pictures of those yummy snacks if your tastebuds are not jumping all over your mouth then you deserve a medal.  Im sure you would all love to try Graze out for yourself so I have a little treat for every single one of you.
 
 
For each person who orders their free box by clicking on the link above, Graze will donate £1 to the Graze School of Farming in Uganda
 The school of farming teaches locals how to grow fruit trees in deprived rural Uganda. The project provides local students with tuition, tools and support to start their own orchards. The school invigorates poor rural areas by improving nutrition (the diet in these areas is generally very poor), increasing productivity from the land, empowering locals and providing a source of income. They teach the locals how to grow Avocado, lemon, mango, orange, paw paw and sweet bananas.
 
Have you tryed Graze yet or will you be trying them with the free box, what are your opinions?
 
Love
 
Gemma
