Graze boxes

Hi guys, I wondered if any of you use graze boxes (www.graze.com)? I ordered one because they were free, but I kinda think I just don't need the additional food just sitting on my desk (despite the fact I'm being good and not eating more than one box a day). I find I'm adjusting what I eat to accommodate them which seems silly. But just interested to know if anyone does use Graze.

    Briefly but when you start paying for them you realise you can make up a box of your own for a lot less money and calories. I swear the boxes cost more than the ingredients sometimes.

    I get one delivered to work every week. They aren't cheap and you can make something similar up for a lot less, but when you need a little snack mid-afternoon they are much better than making a trip to the vending machine.

    If I had more free time then making up the boxes would definitely be a saving, but the cost to effort is worth it for me.

    I get a graze box delivered every 2 weeks to my house. I tend to snack a lot at work (mostly through boredom, but as long as it fits in my calories, i don't worry too much!) Graze boxes are my little treat to myself, I look forward to monday morning post! I only take one snack every other day to work, so no temptation to eat the whole box in one day!! I suggest getting it delivered to your home rather than work :-)

    I'm sure you can make the boxes up yourself, but at the end of the day it is a convenience and you pay for that!

    I have them, and have done for years. Until very recently I have had the 'light' box option. In theory you could make up snacks like this yourself, but there are very few shops where I live, (Lidl and a very poor excuse for a tesco), so actually sourcing all the bits would be quite hard.

    I tend to eat my punnets as pre-running snacks, mid-afternoon.

    I get a box once a fortnight. It's pretty easy to fit 4 punnets at about 100 calories each into my planned snacks. I usually carry one of them in my handbag as an emergency snack too.

    I sent a special Valentines box to my husband yesterday, which he really enjoyed. Their marketing is brilliant!

    Expensive - maybe. It's about 80p per punnet, which is about the price of a chocolate bar. But the combinations are delicious.

    Do any of you have an extra invitation code you could send me? Pretty Please? :flowerforyou: I'm dying to try them out, and they still haven't officially launched to the public yet.

    That one is already expired :( I've actually been googling it all day, lol... but each code is only good for 3 or 4 uses, so they expire really fast! Thanks for trying though!! :smile:

    Thanks! I think I'm going to hold out a little longer to see if I can get an invite to Graze. I looked at Nature box, and at Go Bites... But what I liked about Graze was the low cost of only $5 a box... the ability to customize your snacks by selecting which items you really want to try, and the pre-set portion control. Plus their snaks all looked amazingly yummy! :smile:

    I did like the look of Nature box though... so I may hit you up in the end if I can't track down a graze invite code. I just don't want to sign up for a million snacks all at once, lol.

    Thanks Again!

    Thanks so much for trying!! But you are correct, the UK codes don't work for the US site.

    I've got an invite code from Graze boxes if anyone wants to try them out

    http://www.graze.com/uk/p/7M1KQZ2

    The link takes you direct to the site with the code prefilled, but if you want to browse the site first the code is

    7M1KQZ2

    I've found them quite good as a quick and easy on the go snack, and definatly don't feel so quilty about indulging in this kind of snack!

    I had my free box. I decided to get one every so often because they're PORTABLE snacks. Soooo much easier when on the go (which for me, isn't all that often). At home, I make up my own snacks because I don't have to worry about keeping things fresh, appetizing looking etc.
    I have a code I posted on twitter (it's a UK one)

    I love Graze! I'm a college student, so it's pretty convenient to have healthy food delivered to me. I just discovered it thanks to tumblr. My code is LH3VGQF is anyone needs one!

    I tried for a long time to get a graze box, then i decided to go ahead and try natrure box http://bit.ly/ZsYmY5 - turns out you end up getting more for your money and the snacks are really delicious (graze looked good too, but the snobby you can't have an invite and they are tiny portions thing threw me off - a lot of people said they finished their box in a quick setting right after receiving it)... one of the packages i got this month were wafers, the entire bag (which is about the size of a large personal doritos bag) was around 120 calories - other things like nuts or granola are more, but super satisfying and as tasty as it can get. I am a medical student that studies constantly, so this was a perfect package for me. plus they donate meals to feed america which i like. anyways - i was excited about graze box, but if you you guys aren't able to get a code, i would seriously suggest nature box to try for at least a month. If you want to try one months worth for about 10 dollars, use this: http://bit.ly/ZsYmY5 use FB50 to get 50% off your first box - if that has expired by the time you try, try "snackhealthy" for $10 off and if that one is expired - use "HEALTHY" to get 5 dollars off.

    if you have any questions, i have really detailed descriptions and measurements that i did for some other friends, so feel free to message me - i was happy that i had someone answer my questions after i felt rejected from graze and tried for WAY too long to get a code.

    They are good and I liked trying different things each time but after having one a week for about a month they got too expensive. I buy larger packs of similar items from health food stores and weigh out into portions for my healthy snacks.

    KarenJanine: that's why i went with naturebox. you just pay around 10-20 a month (10 if you can kind promotions) and get 5 bigger bags that you can split up. 5 per week for smaller boxes wasn't worth it...

    Thank you Melaniecheeks, but for those of you still wanting to try graze - the UK code doesn't work in the US.

    I had a freebie box delivered last week and thought about keeping the the weekly delivery for a while however in my opinion I didn't think the box was worth the money. I had 2 of the punnets so far (tropical daiqiri and jaffa cake) and while i must admit they were delicious, the calorie content was too much for such a small portion. The jaffa cake was over 200 cals. I decided to cancel any further delivery but if I feel like I might start it up again in the future to treat myself. I also don't like the idea that you can't really choose which items you want.

    I have recently started to use Graze. Although it is £3.89 a box, I find it works out cheaper than me going out and buying the same amount of snacks. I receive one every two weeks.

    I have had two boxes since I first subscribed, and I am loving it! Selection of goodies are brilliant and I haven't had anything that I have not been unimpressed with!

    I have no problem with the calorie count in anything. It fits my macros, I'm happy.
