NatureBox - Healthy Snacks Delivery



Through a classmate of mine I was connected with one of the founders of NatureBox.com. We had a call where he was able to explain their mission to me, and where they plan on going in the future...to allergen specific boxes. This means that one can order a monthly delivery of all gluten-free, nut-free, dairy free, etc. snacks to their door.

At this time they have a monthly subscription for just $19.95 -  and you receive a box just like the one to the right. Below you can find an example - it is the contents of the April box and on the website there are also nutrition facts for each item.

I just have to say that I cannot WAIT for the ability to personalize these boxes to my special dietary needs. I encourage you all to join in and spread the word!


April Foods

NatureBox Dried Pears

Nothing but fresh, sun-sweetened pears here.  If you’ve never tried dried pears before, we promise you won’t be disappointed. Their soft, buttery texture makes them perfect for dessert or paired with a serving of cheese for a fibrous and filling snack.

NatureBox Peppery Pistachios

We know you’re going to love cracking open these sea salt and pepper pistachios but did you know that the act of shelling and eating each pistachio, called the Pistachio Principle, helps you feel full faster and eat less? That’s because you’re more likely to slow down and listen to your hunger cues.

NatureBox Smokey Pumpkin Seeds

If you look carefully at these seeds, you’ll notice that some are small, flat and dark green – these are known as pepitas. Others are encased in a yellow or white hull, which are the seeds you would pull out of a Halloween pumpkin. Both varieties are excellent sources of phytosterols which lowers cholesterol and fills you up.

NatureBox Zingy Currants

Our Zingy Currants are similar in flavor to California raisins but sweeter with a less chewy texture. These currants are native to the central California valley, where conditions mimic those where currants were first grown in Greece. These currants prefer a little morning sun and shade in the afternoon – coincidentally, two great times for a snack.

NatureBox Cranberry Jubilee

Our Cranberry Jubilee is full of exotic ingredients like papaya and Brazil nuts which just might trick your taste buds into thinking they’re off on a warm, sunny beach. A handful of our Cranberry Jubilee mix will energize you without the afternoon sugar crash.

  2. Yep I know, but that is their goal when the personalization launches so I'm looking forward to it!
