I have done a previous post on subscription boxes and I received a lot of questions and comments on it. I wanted to do it again for you. I love subscription boxes. Of course, they can become clutter delivery services if you don’t pick wisely. SO, I’ve tested and picked a few of my favorites to share with you.
This post is focused on FOOD boxes…all types of food, from meals to candy, so there’s something for everyone. We will have another post tomorrow on all other types of boxes.
Snack Boxes
Fit Snack focuses on providing nutrient dense products to their members through a monthly subscription service. Fit Snack’s criteria is based on what they call “The Perfect 10”: High Protein | Complex Carbs | Low Sugar | GMO-Free | Paleo | Gluten Free | Clean Eating | Sustainable | Organic | Raw. Their goal is to make a box that is as good as it is good for you!
Each box has 6 - 9 items valued at over $30. Monthly boxes start at $15 + S&H and you can cancel your subscription at any time. You can find all of their monthly options & pricing at www.fitsnack.com. I was shocked at the quantity of items included in the box. The items were plentiful and the packages were well sized. Overall, a great value.
If you’re a healthy eater, you know that sometimes snacking is hard. It’s expensive to try new things and you can very quickly get stuck in a rut. Love With Food offers a monthly box filled with unique, delicious and healthy snack options. I’m a long time health nut and I even found some great things in this box! Snacking is way more fun with variety! Gift yourself with this to inspire you to stay healthy! Love With Food is offering our readers $5 off with code JOYFULORG.
Gluten free foods are hard to find. If you eat a gluten free diet, either by necessity or choice, it’s a challenge every single day. TasteGuru is a box FULL of gluten free options ready for you to try and eat. Not only do you have a variety delivered to your door, but it’s a way for you to discover new brands, flavors and options! It’s affordable too!
If you’re a health nut you have to try out Bulu Box. Each month you’ll receive a fresh new array of personal care, fitness and health food. I love the creative items that come in this box. For example, I received some gummy vitamins that I love. These are great gifts for someone who is trying to meet a goal or find a little more fitness inspiration. Want a deal? Use code WONDERFUL in order to receive THREE months of Bulu Box for just $10.
If you can’t decide what you want, try UrthBox. Their box is full of FULL size products; beverages, food and more. Boxes come in diet, vegan, classic or vegan. I love that the samples are unique. I’d never even heard of many of these items before. If you have an office, try their office size box of healthy products. Keep your employees healthy, not hungry!
Sweet Boxes
For those with a sweet tooth, Chouquette is a winner. Every month you received hand crafted chocolates, themed for the season. These chocolates are adorable, and delicious. I love that you can pick six months or a full year. They are so special and they are such a treat to arrive at your door! If you want something a bit different, you can order chocolates with monograms, or even company logos! So awesome!
Have a sweet tooth or know someone who does? Candy Club delivers an amazing package of fresh and delicious candy to your door every month. I received the Valentine’s day set with sour hearts, sour straws, taffy and even a piece of toffee. I was impressed with the packaging, the quantity and the quality of the contents. The candy was DELICIOUS and fresh. The tins are even reusable! I love that this is a great gift to give that’s consumable, unique and fun!
If you have a sweet tooth, you don’t want to miss the monthly fudge box from Okie Goodies. The box I received had some amazing flavors of fudge. (Bubble gum fudge, chocolate cinnamon are more!) The box is adorable and this is a great way to treat yourself to something amazing every month. You won’t get bored with plain old fudge…the flavors are unique and delicious.
Meal Boxes
The organizer and inner vegetarian in me are in LOVE with The Purple Carrot. I received two meals and a snack from them. It was beautifully packaged with the three recipes printed on kraft paper. Each recipe’s ingredients were put together in a large bag, which I should then simply place on a shelf in the fridge. Not only is the bag labeled, but all of the premeasured ingredients inside the bag, are also labeled. This is a busy woman’s dream come true. Simply grab the bag out of the fridge, grab the tools the recipe cards tell you that you need (bowl, pan, etc) and get cooking. Their means are plant based. I rarely eat meat and my husband is trying to eat less as well. However, coming up with amazing plant based meals is a struggle. These means are flavored perfectly and please even the fussiest eater. The two meals I tried were black bean and sweet potato enchiladas and Asian quinoa salad. My mouth is watering as I type it. The “extra” in the box was peanut butter protein bites. NO cooking required with these and they were AMAZING. The best part is that these items are delivered to your door and even your fridge stays organized. Oh and you have the recipes printed out. If you love something you can recreate it yourself again!
Plated is another meal delivery app. Once a week they deliver the ingredients for some amazing meals right to your door. What I like about this service is that you can choose from a menu every week…with various options…vegetarian, seafoods, chicken and so on. Each meal has a story behind it and you are presented with the cooking techniques as well as a detailed list of what’s included and what you’ll need. Take a peek at the photo below to see an example. If you want to impress a first date or are having company over, this is a great way to make a fool proof fancy meal that looks as good as it tastes.
