Graze Nibblebox #2 (Review)



Recently, my second Graze box came through the letter box and I have to say, after last time, I was pretty excited for this weeks box.  It came on the exact day it was supposed to (It must have been a problem with the post last time) and the box was packaged very nicely (as always)


Basically, after gently pulling off the pieces of plastic separating me from the food, I opened the box to a lovely picture of blackberries. Inside the bottom compartment was the usual booklet containing information on the treats received and also some friend code slips.

These are the treats I got inside my box, which I was quite happy with. The ones that looked the most appealing were the My Thai soy bites and the Walnut & Vanilla Truffle. Now, obviously they can't ALWAYS send you the stuff that you like so they will try to send you new things to try and then rate, so that's where my Rhubarb & Pear compote came from (I kind-of despise dried pears). Now I'll write my review on each individual snack!


      Salt & Vinegar Nut Selection                                                                 Walnut & Vanilla Truffle
            606 calories (Per 100g)                                                                                                               484 calories (Per 100g)

                                                   

The Salt & Vinegar Nut Selection consists of Salt                         The Walnut & Vanilla Truffle consists of
& Vinegar flavored peanuts and Almonds. You can                       Walnuts, Pieces of fudge, Vanilla flavored
taste the salt more than the vinegar, but they are still                 Pumpkin seeds and Raisins. Although this
very nice! The nice crunch and unique taste of Salt &                   looks very nice, it does not taste the way it
Vinegar are just a few reasons why I already prefer                      looks (especially the walnuts, which look
these to regular shop-bought nuts.                                              slightly caramelized but taste plain)

Rating = 8/10                                                               Rating = 5/10

            My Thai Soy bites                                                                          Rhubarb and Pear compote
            336 calories (Per 100g)                                                                                                            329 calories (Per 100g)

                                                     

The My Thai Soy bites consists of 8 bakes soy                               The Rhubarb and Pear compote consists
bites (which are very nice btw) and a sweet chilli                             of Cranberries, Rhubarb and Pear slices
dipping sauce (which is also very nice). All together, I                     (which have been dried I assume) They 
have to say this was one of the best savory snacks I have                all taste pretty nice aside from the Pear
received so far from graze, the crackers were absolutely                  having a very weird aftertaste and first-
amazing and the chilli since was nice and sweet!                              hand taste. Not one of my favorites.

Rating = 10/10                                                          Rating = 6.5/10

Graze NibbleBox (Review)


So, on twitter I told you guys I would be doing another review so here I am!

Last week I started a subscription with graze because I wanted to see what the fuss was about with the boxes, and then today (Tuesday) it came in the mail. It was supposed to come on Monday but I'll let it slide since they can't control the postage. It came in a small cardboard box, ideal to fit through letterboxes (So you don't need to be home to wait for the package) and it was easy to open. Then, inside I found two £5 Gift Vouchers which I thought was very nice of them to include (I did mention my blog to them via twitter and said I would be doing a review, but I highly doubt that is the reason I got the vouchers)


The box also comes decorated and has a different picture each month, this month it was this picture of lemons, which is pretty colorful. They also include a few little books inside the box, one with news about graze, another with information about each snack (Calories, fat etc) and then one with friend code paper slips. Now I'll show you guys what snacks I got and what I thought of them.


         Triple Berry Smoothie                                                                      Honeycomb Flapjack
                 109 calories                                                                                          241 calories                                                 

                 
The triple berry smoothie consisted of Banana,                    The honeycomb flapjack basically consisted of a
Cranberries, mini strawberries and blueberries.                    'Rustic rolled oat flapjack with honeycomb and
The banana tasted pretty much like banana, but                   chocolate drizzle' although you can only slightly
with a not-so-nice after taste. The rest of the fruit               taste the honeycomb, the flapjack was still very
was quite nice though, especially the strawberry's.                very nice! It tastes as good as it looks
Rating = 7/10                                                               Rating = 9/10

            Cheddar Gorge                                                                        Mississippi BBQ Pistachios
                    139 calories                                                                                                                         104 calories
                   
The cheddar gorge consisted of cheesy cashews,                     The Mississippi BBQ Pistachios consisted of
baked herb cracker bites and salsa corn sticks.                        basically just roasted Pistachios with a BBQ
Everything on this taste pretty nice, but I wouldn't                   Seasoning on them. Although there isn't much
say that the name of the product suits it, since it's                  to this product, it was pretty much the best
only slightly cheesy (the cashews)                                           tasting one of all four!
Rating = 7/10                                                             Rating = 10/10
