Sometimes I feel like food hoarder. There are those days when I absolutely forget to eat anything until 4 pm or so. Then, the to-go menu is my oyster and there is no amount of fries in the world, nay universe, to satiate my hunger. Those are bad days that are usually followed with the most bloated feeling ever.
What I have noticed, along with most other dietitians out there, is that my body works waayy better when I eat plenty of small meals throughout the day instead of a couple of big ones. I stay fuller longer, have more energy, and restaurants do not confuse my order for one as an order for four. Really, I think all restaurants should make a rule to only give a max of two plastic forks or sets of chopsticks per order. There is no reason to feel judgment from your cutlery, restaurants.
Thankfully, there are plenty of easy, healthy ways to snack that do not include food hoarding or way more chopsticks than I could ever use. One of my absolute favorite snack combos is nuts and dried fruit. Nothing is as filling for me and it combines that sweet and salty taste that I cannot get enough of. Having easy to eat, easy to get to snacks around is one of my secret weapons for staying on a healthy track, both physically and mentally.
It is pretty obvious then, that I was psyched when Graze told me about their yummy, healthy subscription box that sends me snacks whenever I want them. Even better, all health and nutritional information is on the site and we get to choose what comes in the next order. Yea, its kind of the best thing ever.
Snacks range in health benefits from being low carb to high protein. All snacks are easily categorized into types of food and health benefits so no matter what you want, you can find it and get it quick. And, if you get something that you love or hate, you can add a note to that item. Yep, Graze will learn your preferences and keep them in mind for choosing your future snacks.
There are two types of boxes you can order from Graze, the nibble box and the calorie counter box. So far, I have tried the nibble boxes and love them. My favorite snacks have been the Banana's Foster and Apple Cosmo. So good! I am also dying to try the Cheese Board and Veggie Sushi Plate from the Savory Selections menu.
Since Graze hooked me up big time, all links here will take you through my personal site. For every three friends I refer, Graze sends me one free box. The awesome news is that this perk is available for you as well when you start up your Graze account. Be sure to let your friends know and get those noms for free!
Each box has four snack packs that are one serving each and cost a total of $6. Depending on where you live, you can get snack packs delivered once a week or twice a month. The boxes are quite small, so they will also fit into almost any regular mailbox.
