Nature Box May 2016 Unboxing

A couple of days ago, I got a notice of shipment for my Nature Box; good timing as I only have 2 more snack servings of my previous month!  Since you're all aware I did snack box subscription reviews with the goal to find the subscription for me, I'll let you know why Nature Box was the winner: simply put, they promise simple ingredients, no artificial stuff, no HF corn syrup, no MSG and calorie-size is always below 200 calories; this meets my expectations!  There are healthy, smart and crave-worthy options and I get to choose what I want in my box every single month.

You can get:
5 snacks at 19,95$ per box or
10 snacks at 32.95$ per box

Shipment can be done to match your schedule:
Every week
Every two weeks or
Every month.

I opted for 10 snacks every month.  Shipping is free to US but costs 4.95$ for Canadians, which is reasonable. To try a free box, click here!

I added a review of last month's snacks in my last review.  If you want to check it out, click here. 

This month, most of my snacks came in ziplock bags, so I was able to show you how most of them look like.

First snack is Parmesan Garlic Pop Pops (4 single serving bags) which is half-popped popcorn flavored with Parmesan cheese, garlic, onions and sea salt.  We've become quite impressed with Nature Box's popcorn snacks, so I am sure these will be enjoyed just as much.  I think this is the snack Alex expressed the most interest in as well.

My Rating: Loved these; quite flavorful and I loved the crunch it added to my popcorn night.

Next, we have Apple Cinnamon Crave which is described as  a fruit and nut mix with peanuts, almonds and apples.  I unfortunately can't link it as it is no longer showing on the website but this medley looks really nice; and yes, those white pieces are yogurt bytes.

My Rating:  Another hit for me.  The apples were chewy, the little yogurt bytes added something interesting to the mix and the nuts, well, let's just say they were great, as per usual.

Next snack is Cranberry Pepita Crisp which is described as a cranberry and pumpkin seed pita crisp.  Unfortunately, this is not in a ziplock, so I can't display them for you.  Nature Box recommends pairing these with cheese...I think I may :)

My Rating: I had these with cheese, as it was suggested and wow!  This is a pretty fancy tasting cracker.  I might get them again when I know I have a soirée coming up.

Next, we have Sriracha Roasted Cashews, how could I resist?  Remember, the first month I tried the Sriracha Popcorn... and I tried to continue my Sriracha craze last month but they were sold out.. so I am sooooo happy to have these on hands now.  Yummy!  You can't deny the Sriracha glazed cashews sounds amazing!

My Rating: cashews are amazing, Sriracha is amazing; put them together and this is fabulous!  Alex wanted me to reorder this, and I promised I will soon.

Next, we have Cherry Berry Bonanza which is a medley of dried cranberries, dried cherries and dried blueberries.  I really enjoy dried fruit, and these three are no exception.  This one was in my recommended pile and I thought, why not?  Loving the colors!

My Rating:  I might be less in dried fruit than I realized..these stayed untouched until the very last day and when the next month's order was delayed, started snacking on them.  They are pretty good.  I just like something extra with my dried fruit...just a preference.  And I guess it goes the same way for Alex since he didn't touch them at all.

Next is Chocolate Hazelnut Granola and I'll admit that my goal is to sprinkle this on top of Greek yogurt.  There's a few big chocolate pieces (though apparently, they all decided to hide at the bottom of the bowl), hazelnuts and all the good stuff you naturally find in granola.  Apparently, tastes just like Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread.

My Rating:  this is the first thing to make it out the window; I paired this with yogurt and I really enjoyed it.  One of my favorite ways of eating granola.

And these are Dark Cocoa Nom Noms.  I don't know why but this name makes me laugh.  These are mini cocoa and oat cookies and they make me think of those two byte brownies.  I'm a self-proclaimed chocoholic so I know these will a win for me.

My Rating:  I loved these cookies, so much so I ended up getting a different flavored Nom-Nom for next month's box.

I asked Nature Box to send me a surprise snack and this month, they picked Kung Pao Pretzels; awesome!  They read my mind.  I was going to order this for next month had this not been my surprise snack.  These are spicy-seasoned waffle pretzels.  As soon as I opened the bag, I told Alex that these smell amazing!  Definitely looking forward to tasting these!

My Rating: these are fantastic and quite addicting.  Alex asked me to order this one again for the next month because he really enjoyed the spices in them.  I didn't hesitate; I did.

Next, we have Pistachio Power Clusters which are nut squares with almonds, cashews and pistachios.  Since I really enjoyed the Cashew Power Clusters two months ago, I am sure these will be a hit just as much.

My Rating:  these were great too; similar to the cashew clusters.  I would definitely get these again in the future.

And, the last snack is Big Island Pineapple which is, you guessed it, dried pineapple rings.  If you've never had dried pineapple, I urge you to try it.  It's one of our favorite dried fruit, which is why, I know these will be appreciated.

My Rating: like the Cherry Berry Bonanza, this was eaten last.  I love pineapples though, and these tasted pretty good too.  I guess I just need to eat my dried fruit in a trail mix...I'll keep that in mind for later.

This concludes my Nature Box for the month of May.  Stay tuned at the end of the month for my snack reviews on this exact post.  As always, any questions or comments are welcomed!  Thanks for reading!
