Love with food sends out a "tasting box" each month containing healthy or organic/all natural snacks. With every box they send out, they also provide one meal to a hungry child in the United States. It's pretty fun, and something that I think we will continue to subscribe to.
I received the box today, and here's what they sent me:
They also sent me a cinnamon/sugar Bananinha bar, but I gave it to J before I decided to post about this. I'm allergic to bananas, but he said it was good. Here's what that looked like:
I'll list the other stuff I got here now, so if you ordered a box, but haven't received it, and don't want spoilers, stop reading now.
The most interesting thing in the box, is something I haven't seen anywhere before. It's these falafel chips. I haven't tried them yet, and I told J I'd wait to open them until we could taste them together. The package is 180 calories.
The next thing is something I've seen at our grocery store, but haven't purchased yet because I think they're a little pricey for something that I don't know if I'm going to throw away or not, so I'm excited to try these:
I like sugar snap peas in general, so I'm sure these will be a win.
I also received this shortbread cookie, which I know is from a bakery that is located at the ferry building in San Francisco. They aren't available anywhere outside of the west coast (mostly the Bay area) yet, but I'm hoping that being included in this box means that they might become more available eventually.
The box also included two packets of Justin's Almond Butter, one in chocolate, and the other in honey. I don't particularly like nut butters, but J does, so I'm giving them to him.
J&M Original Cheese straws are the last salty snack. (Salty is my favorite kind of snack, so I was really happy that this box had a nice selection of crunchy/salty/crispy options). These are pretty high calorie (240 in the bag), but the first ingredient listed is cheddar cheese, so I guess that's not surprising.
The last item in the box was these Surf Sweets organic jelly beans. I had these for a snack tonight (as you can see by the open bag). They are 50 calories per bag, and they were just a little disappointing. The sugar was really grainy, and I seem to have gotten mostly lemon beans in my bag, which is not my favorite. That's okay though, everything else in the box was great, and I suspect that someone who has never had "real" jelly beans would probably be really into these.
Overall I'm really happy with this box, and it's always fun to try new snacks, especially if I can find something that tastes great and keeps me under my calories each day. If you're interested in a Love With Food box, just click that link . If you use the link from my blog, you will get your first box free. (You may have to pay $2 for shipping, although I didn't have to. It appears that they have changed the rules.)
