I received my first Love with food box a few days ago and am super excited to share it with you! In case you don't know what Love with Food is, it is a monthly subscription box service that sends you organic and all-natural snacks. Depending on your plan you can receive different amounts of snacks. I chose to do the monthly snacking box which includes 8-10 snacks, which costs $10 plus $2 for shipping. Love with Food also donates a meal to a food bank for every box they sell and donates two for the deluxe and gluten-free boxes!
The theme for this months box was Mardi Gras, so I thought it would make sense to post my review today which is Fat Tuesday! I would also like to point out how quickly I got this box, my box shipped on February 11th and arrived on February 14th! Which was two days before the earliest estimated shipping date, so I was very impressed by that.
Anyway, here is a look at my snack box:
And here are some pictures of each of my snacks, and their approximate prices based on the Love with Food store:
Toffee Crunch TruffleCremes by Dilettante= approx. 2 for $1.30
I did enjoy these little chocolates, they were really good quality and were nice and creamy inside. I also thought that the beads were a nice touch in this months box!
Milk Chocolate Mini Pieces by Divine= approx. 2 for .90 cents
I did not like these chocolates as much as the others, but I am assuming it was due to the fact that it was milk chocolate, which I personally find too sweet. However, I do like that they are made by a fair trade chocolate company that is owned by cocoa farmers!
Lemon Wafer Bites by Dolcetto= $1
These were my absolute favorite thing that I got in my box! I will certainly be ordering some of these from their online store! They are shaped like little pillow cookies and are very light/crunchy wafers. The filling is super zesty and creamy and reminds me a bit of Trix ceral for some reason.
Traditional Hot Chocolate by Monbana= .85 cents
I have not gotten to try this hot cocoa out yet, but I am really looking forward to it. It is vegan, made in France, and is 32% chocolate!
Original Creole Seasoning by Tony Chachere's= .08 cents
I have not tried this seasoning yet, but I do enjoy creole style foods and will be attempting to cook with this soon!
Protien+ Almond Honey Bar by Rise= $1.16
I cannot say this is the best protein bar I have ever had, but it was pretty decent. It was very small and looked kind of like a dog biscuit, but it did taste like honey and almonds! I also loved the simple ingredient list: almonds, honey, whey protien isolate! Non-GMO and Gluten Free!
Olive Oil Potato Chips by Boulder Canyon= .92 cents
Though I am not usually a kettle cooked chip kinda girl, I really enjoyed this salty snack. These were crunchy, perfectly salted, and flavorful due to the olive oil. I was impressed, and if I ever see them in a store I might just pick up a bag! Non-gmo, Gluten free, and vegan. The ingredients are literately: potatoes, olive oil, and sea salt!
Baked Mac and Cheese Puffs by Snikiddy= $1
I really did like these cheese puffs and am considering ordering some more online! They were almost like Cheetos puffs but I really loved the flavor and not getting orange all over my fingers! Also non-gmo and gluten free!
Overall, I am pretty impressed with my February Love with Food box, I loved getting to try out new snacks without committing to a huge bag or box and I enjoyed that they were healthier alternatives to some of my current snacking fave's! The overall approximate price of my box was $7.21 which is really not a very impressive figure, but you also need to factor in that you are giving a meal to a hungry person! I think I will be continuing my subscription for now, but if you are looking for a box where you get a lot of bang for your buck, this is not it. However, if you are really just looking to try out some new snacks and find some healthier alternatives, totally give this a try!
By using this referral link you can try out your first Love with Food box for free, http://lovewithfood.com/invite?m=r&ref=2pPG . I think you will still have to pay for $2 in shipping, but otherwise the box is free, and if you do not like the service you can easily cancel it to avoid paying for the next month!
Till next time!
