Opinions on Graze Box...

I was not impressed. I think the idea is great, and having a cute little box of healthy snacks around would be a lifesaver for me, but I cancelled after my first box. I didn't care for any of the 4 options I got, even things that I normally love (ie: flavored cashews, trail mix, etc.) And yes, the portions are very small. There's no hurt in trying it out for free, but in my opinion, I'd much rather spend the money at the grocery store and live with ziplock bags instead of Graze's cute packaging.

I just got my first order in and I wasn't really impressed with it. I'm glad it was free because I could have bought the same items at the store for less than 6 bucks and used them for several days. The packaging is nice and it's easy to grab something, but I think you're better off just pre-packing your own snacks.

Healthy dried fruit and nut mixes (which seem to be the majority of the options in Graze's low cal selection) are pricey at the supermarket. I recently remember putting a container of cashews back on the shelf because it cost more than $10. The pre-packed dried fruit mixes are loaded with sugar and lack the nutrient qualities I search for. Most of the affordable mixes use sugary fruit like pineapple and chocolate that don't offer much in the way of vitamins and minerals.

The only way to make trail mix healthy and affordable is to buy the fruit and nuts in bulk and mix it yourself. Downside? You end up with two or three pounds of trail mix in the same flavor. Since we are a family of two, we get bored of the flavor long before we run out of portions.

My husband and I just signed up for our free boxes at the graze. $6 is a great deal if they are going to send me 4 different snacks in a box, packed with nutrients and low in calories. When it comes to snacks, the 100 calorie packs have been a life saver but, most of it is processed junk. Empty calories. It will be nice to eat something wholesome for a change and the variety will make it fun. I especially look forward to trying the snacks that I would never make for myself because it would be cost prohibitive or too much of a hassle for a family of two.

The small portions everyone reports are likely going to be perfect for me since I am on a 1400 calorie diet and will likely drop to 1200 soon. I have lost 65 pounds since June 2013. My husband has lost 30.

I tried it thinking that I was going to cancel after the free box but I have it set to deliver every week. The snacks are good small snack size portions, and were some of the best combinations I have had yet. Worth a try.

very expensive MLM

not an oral sex euphamism?

Overall, I'm happy with my Graze subscription. It is on the more expensive side, especially considering that each snack isn't that big. But when you consider it as a service, which develops and makes a wide variety of fairly nutritious food that is delivered to you, rather than just as each individual snack, the cost seems more reasonable. I especially like that I get a fairly wide variety of things every month. Grocery stores tend not to have that much variety in snack mixes. I also get to try new things and flavor combinations that probably would never have occurred to me otherwise.

I also subscribe to Love with Food (I've only had one box so far) and just signed up for Nature Box. I'll evaluate after a couple of months whether I want to continue to subscribe to all of them.

I love my Graze boxes!

Yes, it absolutely is more expensive compared to going to the store, buying the stuff in bulk, and making the mixes yourself, but guess what? I'm not going to do that, haha. So that right there is worth it to me.
ALSO, I'm a sucker for tiny, cute things (like tiny shampoo and tiny nail polish! *squee*) so the presentation of the snack makes me smile, which is also worth something

The only way to make trail mix healthy and affordable is to buy the fruit and nuts in bulk and mix it yourself. Downside? You end up with two or three pounds of trail mix in the same flavor. Since we are a family of two, we get bored of the flavor long before we run out of portions.

Yeah, I had the same issue.

I overcame it by treating the ingredients as ingredients and store them separate. I mix up a medium sized bowl of it and pack it into snack sized ziploc bags once a week. This lets you tweak the flavors and textures for each batch.

I canceled about 10 boxes in. It's cute but no longer for me. It breaks down to about $10-15/lb and I don't even pay that much for steak, shrimp, etc!

I like Graze, and I think that if you're definitely not going to do the whole bulk buy thing or if you're not living on tight budget, then they're pretty good. Personally the portion sizes were just right for snacking, the seed mixes in particular I could stretch out over 2 days as I only really used them to tide me over at work, and I really had very little to complain about. I only cancelled the deliveries because they boxes were not so amazing I couldn't replace them with home made snack pots.

Plus if I make my own snack pots I know that I'm definitely going to like them, rather than having that awful "oh no, this flavour does not work for me at all" moment I had with certain Graze products that sounded good on paper but tasted revolting in my mouth.

I'd eat it all in one sitting. And there's not enough options. Making your own would be cheaper and quicker.

Just got my first one--calorie counter box with only vegan options. I love it :-)

I LOVE MY GRAZE BOXES and look forward to receiving them every two weeks!

Yes, the portions are small...but I'm on a diet, right? I don't need to be eating a whole big lot of anything!
Pricey? NO! $6 for a box = $1.50 per pundett...and I know each one is of high quality and is healthy!

I wish I could get a box every week - but I get bored eating the same things all of the time, so they are my SPECIAL TREATS and I savor EVERY ONE!

I'm leaning toward canceling my subscription because there haven't been many things in three months that I've really loved.
