I've just got my first ever Graze Box

aliasojo

It was a freebie. I really didn't think it was 'all that' when I ordered it and I didn't expect to like it all that much.

But it came today.....and I do.

I'm now trying to justify getting one a week on the basis of it being healthier than my last new try (Cabury's Marvelous Creations chocolate bars).

I expect you're supposed to eat one of the little boxes per day or something? And not 'sample' them all at once? I got teeny tiny seriously cute summer berry flackjacks in mine, I'm not usually too fussed on flapjacks....I like these.

My physio told me to eat more sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. Luckily they came in my graze box.......along with cranberries and chocolate coins.

I wish I wasn't ruled by food!

Have you tried them? If not....don't!

Mmmmmm that sounds lovely. Never heard of these graze boxes before. I bet the contents are healthier than chocolate. By eating it all at once you're just trying to get your 5 a day right! Where do you order them from?

Cinders:

I've had one as a freebie, sounds like the same one you have. It was absolutely delicious, but they do work out quite expensive.

Oooooh been there done that and got myself addicted!!

Then sickened myself with them too!!

I started off with weekly boxes, then switched to fortnightly. Love the fact you can 'bin' stuff you're not so keen on (olives!) and 'love' the stuff you do (chocolate!!) Also found they were great for taking to the cinema for a wee snack

PS. Don't try the seaweed peanut crackers :D

I got a code for a free box through O2 but they're everywhere, there was even an ad on the tv recently for a free box.

I think things are only healthy if you don't pig out on them though. I am an embarrassment.

In my experience, the novelty/excitement wears off pretty quickly. I used to have them, but I would end up throwing so many things away that eventually I stopped. Same with my husband; they seemed the ideal solution for snacking at work but he used to end up with piles of them on his desk uneaten! Also, they are not as healthy as you think - check out the calorie content! :eek: (still probably better than chocolate though!)

Despite all the negative things I have just said....your post has made me want them again! I did love those flapjacks...:rotfl:

I am damning you right now as I have just gone back to the website and trying to convince myself not to sign up again! :rotfl:

I think to be fair I have quite limiting dietary requirements so the range of snacks I can get is more narrow than what other people might get. So that is probably why it got boring for me...

I wish you could specify exactly what you get. Four flapjacks, please!

I've had graze boxes before and they are yummy!

A few of us in the office used to have them delivered to work on a Friday!

The flapjacks are yummy and the nuts and choc chips, mmmmm

I might sign up again.................

I used to buy them for DD as they were handy to take out and about with us.

Firstly, they're not healthy. Not by a long shot. They're calorie laden thanks to the dried fruit, chocolate, sugar etc.

Secondly, they're expensive.

So don't get hooked into weekly, fortnightly or even monthly deliveries. If you don't buy them you can't eat them.
