Lets get stuck into another box from GRAZE.


Each box comes with 4 healthy portioned snacks, that is picked by the Graze team based on your preferences when you subscribe, you also get a little info card that tells you whats in each of your snack pots.



First up we have VEGGIE PROTEIN POWER, this snack pot contains black pepper cashews, spicy chickpeas and edamame beans.
The Benefits - This snack pot is packed with natural plant protein, containing 7 g per portion, also added is the essential mineral copper, which gives you a snack that supports your immune system, protects cells from stress and helps metabolise energy.
- 130 calories
- High in fibre
- Source of copper
- High in protein
- Suitable for vegans
This was not a snack pot for me, I wasn't a fan of the edamame beans, I don't eat them when I go for sushi so I wasn't surprised I didn't like these either. I thought the spicy chickpeas were nice, but the spicy kick to them was a little too much for me. I really liked the the black pepper cashews, they were full of flavour and they were the only thing I could eat from this snack pot, this was the first time I struggled to eat everything from a snack pot.


Next we have HEART HEALTHY NUTS, this snack pot contains redskin peanuts, Brazil buts, almonds and pecan nuts.
The Benefits - This snack pot contains Vitamin B1 which helps keep your heart functioning normally as well a Vitamin E, which protects your cells from oxidative stress. Also this snack pot is high in copper, manganese and selenium, which are nutrients that work together to support your metabolism and immune system.
- High in copper
- High in manganese
- Source of Vitamin E
- Suitable for vegans
For me redskin peanuts have a weird aftertaste and puts me off from finishing them, they're definitely not for me, I was the same with the pecan nuts as they're not a snack for me and struggled to eat them. On the positive side I really liked the almonds and Brazil nuts, they really had a nice flavour to them. I've really debated whether to keep this snack pot on my snack list as I only like half of the ingredients.


Next we have COOKIES & CREAM, this snack pot contains sunflower seeds, mini cocoa cookies, Belgian white chocolate buttons and Cornish cocoa fudge.
The Benefits - the sunflower seeds are the nutritional core for this snack, they are high in vitamin E, which helps protect your cells from stress, as well as a source of vitamin B1 and copper which work together to support your metabolism and immune system.
- Source of fibre
- High in vitamin E
- Suitable for vegetarians
I really don't like the sunflower seeds, so I always leave them when I get them in a snack pot, it was no different for me with this snack pot, I gave them a try and they weren't for me. I normally love fudge but I don't think cocoa fudge is for me, I'll stick to my usual vanilla fudge. I absolutely loved the white chocolate buttons and the cookies, the white chocolate really adds to the cream factor of the snack pot.


Lastly we have HONEYCOMB FLAPJACK, in this snack pot contains honeycomb flapjack.
The Benefits - These flapjacks are made in small batches meaning the whole rolled oats keep their natural goodness. This snack is a source of fibre, vitamin A and manganese, which are nutrients that work together to support the immune system and protect cells from oxidative stress.
- Source of fibre

This flapjack is very moreish, I loved the flavours. It was soft and chewy, which is just how I like my flapjacks to be, I could snack on the flapjack again and a again.

It's time for another GRAZE post.




Each box comes with 4 healthy portioned snacks, that is picked by the Graze team based on your preferences when you subscribe, you also get a little info card that tells you whats in each of your snack pots.


First up we have HEART HEALTHY NUTS, this snack pot contains redskin peanuts, Brazil buts, almonds and pecan nuts.

Also this snack pot is high in copper, manganese and selenium, which are nutrients that work together to support your metabolism and immune system.
- High in copper
- High in manganese
- Source of Vitamin E
- Suitable for vegans
I thought all the nuts together an separately were nice, but personally for me it seemed a little bit boring and not something I would head to the cupboards to snack on, I also thought it was a little bland as for me there was no flavour to tease my taste buds.


Next we have LOUISIANA WILD RICE & BEANS, this snack pot contains wild rice sticks and chilli broad beans.
The Benefits - This snack pot is high in fibre and is only 136 calories and has 5 g of natural protein, which is a vital part of a balanced diet for everyone. Protein and amino acids are the building blocks for muscles to repair, strengthen and grow.

- Less than 150 calories
- Suitable for vegans
Looking at the GRAZE website this snack pot is no longer available to buy, not sure if it will become available again in the future, but right now you can't buy this snack pot. I always love the smell of this snack pot, I really enjoyed the wild rice sticks and I love the chilli broad beans. the flavours work really well together and I always really enjoy this snack pot and always look forward to eating it.


Next we have BELGIAN SPECULOOS AND CINNAMON PRETZEL STICKS, this snack pot contains cinnamon pretzel sticks and Belgian speculoos cookie dip.
The Benefits - The dips are perfectly portioned so you have the right amount of indulgent flavour, then add the source of fibre and you have a snack that's 151 calories per portion.
- Source of fibre

I always love the smell of this snack pot, it smells gorgeous. I love the cinnamon flavour in the pretzel sticks, there is just the right amount of cinnamon to make them perfect. The cookie dip is divine, it has a nice, smooth and creamy texture and there is the perfect amount of dip to go with the pretzel sticks. All the flavours work extremely well together.


Lastly we have BERRY PROTEIN FLAPJACK, this snack pot contains a berry protein flapjack.
The Benefits - All GRAZE's flapjacks are baked in small batches, meaning the whole rolled oats keep all their natural goodness, making their flapjacks a source of fibre and manganese, which are nutrients that support the immune system and protects cells from oxidative stress. The mixed seeds, cocoa powder and cacao nibs that are added to the mixture, mean these flapjacks are also a source of essential minerals.

This flapjack smelt absolutely gorgeous and sweet, it was soft and chewy with a welcomed crunch. I thought the berries added to the flavour of the oats. It's definitely another flapjack added to my favourite GRAZE flapjacks list.

Now it's time to get into the business side of the Graze box, each box comes with 4 snack pots with snacks had selected just for you from your preferences you give the Graze team from over 100 choices.
