You may have noticed I didn’t review July’s box. There wasn’t anything wrong with July’s box, but it was sort of “meh” so I decided to skip it. Here’s Josh tasting the squeezy bag of oatmeal mush:
Anyhoo, August’s box totally made up for it! Here’s the box, just opened:
Do I spy a full sized bag of candy? Why, yes!
KIND Healthy Grains Popped Salted Caramel
Hey KIND? You had me at “salted caramel”. I’ve had KIND bars before and always enjoy them, but I hadn’t seen this kind before. (Get it? Kind?) This is basically a granola bar, but it’s not too sweet, has a great texture, and 100% whole grains. I love alternative grains, and this bar has SIX: oats, sorghum, millet, amaranth, quinoa and buckwheat. I would definitely buy these again. Om nom nom!
Enlightened Roasted Broad Beans
Uh, roasted bean snacks? Tons of protein? HELL YES! These were seriously delicious and hit all my notes: salty, nutty, crunchy AND healthy. A nearly perfect snack! If I can’t find these at a local store, I plan on using my Love with Food points to buy some. I wanted to eat them so badly I barely remembered to take a pic!
Fruity Pie – Apricot and Almond
Anything that combines dried apricots and almonds cannot be bad. And it wasn’t, it was delicious! Sort of like a Fruit Roll Up but in disc format. Mmmm.
Go Organics Apple Hard Candies
We got an entire bag of these! The only bad part is that they’re apple flavored, which isn’t my favorite, but they taste a lot like apple cider, like REAL apple cider. I gave these to the Hubs.
479 Degrees Sea Salt Popcorn
This was super yummy. In the end, though, it’s just salted popcorn. Really yummy salted popcorn! (As you can see I couldn’t wait to tear into this.)
Wild Friends Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter
*sigh* I wanted so much to love this. You could definitely taste the coconut and the chocolate, but dang it if it wasn’t grainy. There’s a reason I stick with my mainstay, Skippy. It was good, but just not for me.
La Panzanella Croccantini Artisan Italian Crackers – Rosemary
I’m sorry to say this, but I took one bite of these and fed the rest of them to Bingley. He really enjoyed them, though!
Stash Lemon Rooibos Iced Herbal Tea Powder
Made The Hubs try this, since I’ve had rooibos before and it wasn’t my thing. (I’m a total tea snob, and rooibos is not true tea!) He made it and was sort of neutral on the flavor, so I took a sip. Basically it tasted like lemon water. Not bad, just not amazing.
All in all, a great box! Can’t wait to try September’s!
