When you're teaching, do you ever have those moments when you just need SOMETHING to eat?? How often do you reach for a piece of chocolate or a small handful of chips?
Well, if you're anything like me.. it's often.
Cue Graze.
Graze is a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly subscription box that you receive in your mailbox. It's a product that allows healthy food to be delivered straight to your door - or your school!
How does it work? Well, the process is ULTRA simple.
First, you sign up at graze.com. If you use the code "SARAU5LWT," you'll get your first box and your fifth box for FREE! Otherwise, it costs $6.00 flat for 4 snacks - which comes to $1.50 a snack! You choose the type of box you'd like - I chose the nibble box. But, there's also a calorie box.
Then, you choose your foods. There are over 90 foods to try. Although you don't necessarily get to "choose" your foods, you go through and rank them - trash, try, like, love. Trash means you NEVER want to receive it. Try means you want to try it at least once. Like means you want it sent to you occasionally. Love means you want it regularly.
Y'all, there are things ranging from sweet to savory to salty. Dried fruits, nuts, granola bars, and even CHOCOLATE. Oh yeah!
Then once you've done that process, you wait! You'll get your first box roughly a week after you sign up.
I actually just received my first box and I am in LOVE!! It comes in a quaint, little box with four compartments. Each compartment holds one of the nibblers, which are all removable! You don't have to take the box with you wherever you go… just the little snack pouch. It's awesome.
I decided that I'm going to keep the boxes even after I finish the snacks and I'm sure I can do something with them that become teaching related!
Below are what I received in my first box:
Herby Bread Basket: basil baguettes, garlic crostini, and oregano rice crackers
Black Pepper Pistachios: pistachios with black pepper
Triple Berry Smoothie: mini strawberries, blueberries, cranberries, and bananas
Walnut & Vanilla Truffle: walnuts, vanilla pumpkin seeds, fudge, and raisins
While I've only tried the pistachios so far… wanted to start off with a good experience since I know that I LOVE pistachios… I'm excited to try the other 3! And also excited to see what comes in my next box in another week.
I do know that Graze will certainly help me when I want to reach for those potato chips or a cookie this summer… instead, I'll grab for a healthy snack and be happy about it!
What do YOU think about the idea of a grazing box?? Let me know what your favorite snack to graze on in the comments!
*Graze did NOT give me any sort of promotional product to write this review. I wrote it simply out of the fact that I LOVE the idea of this product, especially for those who seem to find themselves snacking throughout the day!*
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteI am a first year teacher just out of college. Needless to say, the only thing is my fridge is diet coke. I basically just work on my computer during lunch because I'm never prepared with food. I am DEFINITELY trying this next school year! Thanks so much for sharing!

Thank you for introducing us to GRAZE! I've gotta try this out. As a teacher, I find myself snacking just to keep going during the day. BTW, I love anything that's crunchy or has nuts.
