It’s Nature. In a box.
Sort of.
Nature Box is a monthly mail order snack company. For $19.95 they will send you a box with 5 new healthy, all-natural snacks each month.
They were kind enough to send my April’s box to sample, and the snacks inside did not disappoint!
In my box:
- Cranberry Granola
- Dried Currants
- Dried Pears
- Spicy Pumpkin Seeds
- Salt & Pepper Pistachios
My favorite was the Spicy Pumpkin Seeds (obv – I love me some heat). Each bag contained 3-4 generous servings… not a bad deal for $20! That’s only $5 a bag. It’s less than your latte. 😉
***Disclaimer: I was provided with this box at no charge. All thoughts and opinions are my own.***
So what’s in it for you?

What are your thoughts on ordering food (via subscription, co-op, online grocery, etc.) vs. going to the store yourself?
Have you ever done one-legged burpees?

Love snack boxes and foodie pen pal. You got some good stuff. Rishi tea is so good! The blueberry smells like a blueberry muffin.

Question: What’s a burpee? :-X I see that word in your blog and Lindsays (Lean Green Bean) all the time!
You have a bum knee? Hi bum knee, meet bum ankle :\ It’s the reason I’m doing the Couch to 5K. Hopefully it will help my ankle and also get me back in the game! Although now I’m coming down with some kind of cold or virus or something. Boo 🙁
Laura says
Here’s a good explanation/video: http://www.workoutbox.com/exercises/leg-exercises/push-up-burpee/
They are intense!!!
Sorry to hear about your ankle! Hope you’re back to 100% soon.

Wow, lots of comments going on here but I want that Nature box. I am going for the salt and pepper pistachios, they sound good. Pumpkin seeds don’t chew well for me, LOL.

The pumpkin seeds and pistachios in your snack box sound amazing! And I really have to get on the foodie penpal bandwagon after my upcoming vacation.
Kiri W. says
Love the foodie penpal box!
My favorite healthy snack must be frozen banana. And frozen grapes. And in the winter, microwaved apple with cinnamon. Mmm.
Laura says
Do you just eat the banana forzen? Not in a smoothie or dipped in chocolate?

My favorite snack is a big fat juicy HONEYCRISP apple!!!!!!!! 🙂
Carol @ Lucky Zucca says
One legged burpees?? You are insane. I am skeptical about ordering food… but I suppose it really is the same as buying it in the store if it is packaged, right?! I want to try it but also am always shocked at how expensive it can be. Especially when you don’t know whether you’re going to like it or not.
Laura says
Seriously! Thank god it was only 5 on each side.
Congrats again on the Half!!! 🙂

My favorite healthy snack is an apple protein roll up – low carb tortilla with pumpkin protein spread (mix of pumpkin, low sodium cottage cheese, 0% greek yogurt, and cinnamon) and chopped up apples…SO GOOD and super filling…keeps me going for hours!
Laura says
That’s a realllllly good idea! I posted something similar Friday, but didn’t think to add apples and spread it on a tortilla.

I’m really big on going to the store rather than ordering anything online. I like to touch and feel and smell everything. But a foodie pen pal sounds so much fun. I wish it wasn’t so expensive to ship things here.
