October Naturebox Review - A Healthy Halloween


The box: Naturebox
The cost: $19.95
The goods: 5 bags of healthy, tasty snacks

This box's theme was "A Healthy Halloween."


Pear Praline Crunch: These are frosted pecans and cashews with a pear flavor.  I don't particularly like pear, but I love regular praline pecans.  I took these as a flight-snack this weekend and my dad ate almost the entire bag.  I think it's safe to assume he enjoyed them.


Honeycomb Sunflower Kernels:  I like sunflower seeds, but hate cracking the shells.  J's a regular sunflower seed fiend, but he didn't much care for these.  I think they are amazing.  They're lightly sweet and a little bit salty. 


Flax Crostini Bites: These were the most surprising item for me.  I expected them to be bland and boring and dry, but that wasn't the case.  They're actually lightly herb-y and perfectly crunchy.  I need to get some more Laughing Cow cheese, because I think these would be great with it.


Sourdough Cheddar Pretzels: I can't decide if I like these or not.  The flavor of them is good, but they're a bit too big and puffy for my personal preference.


French Toast Granola:  Possibly my favorite snack this month.  It's not overly sweet, but it has a subtle maple syrup taste.  They suggest sprinkling it into your yogurt or regular oatmeal, but I've just been eating it as dessert.


I absolutely adore Naturebox.  They're slowly introducing the ability to choose what you get in your boxes every month, but I kind of like letting them pick for me.  Sure, I might get some things I don't like but there have been several items I would have never picked for myself that I wound up loving.
