Our park days are coming to a (temporary) end around here. I know most of the country is complaining about the snow that just won’t stay away—but here, we’re still hoping for a few more days of cooler weather. This winter was short and sporadic— with it reaching high 80’s most days. But we move on, into the sun, and through the heat, because it will only get hotter here in south Florida. We do a lot of outdoor picnics (you may have noticed)— a lot of times at the beach, a lot of times at the park— and when we’re feeling just a tad more lazy or running short on time (Alex leaves for work mid afternoon), we just fill up a bottle of water and grab a few snacks—- to well, go! 😉
Snacks can be difficult. I think so anyway. I mean, it’s a constant battle for me with junk food cravings— I’ll always pass on cake, but hand over the fries and chips NOW. And on the really fidgety nights? The nachos, always with the vegan nachos– a vice for me, for sure. It’s pretty easy to just go by the “don’t buy, don’t eat rule”— if you don’t have snacks, you won’t eat snacks, but with a toddler around, that whole thing doesn’t really work. “Sorry kid, mom has no self control with snacks, so you can’t have them either”—- yeah, okay, right.
We got to try out NatureBox this month (a monthly snack subscription box— yes, snacks, straight to your doorstep!), which has been GREAT. What I found to be incredibly neat was that you can choose what snacks come in your box— cool right? That’s not the neat (best) part— you can filter out your choices to non GMO, gluten free, vegan(!) and more. Instead of my usual *run into store, grab bag of bbq chips* routine, we’ve been able to try a whole bunch of new and healthy snacks. Marlowe has been obsessed with all the different dried fruit snacks, and I’ve been enjoying (and sharing) the savory ones. So now, our quick park days are not only deliciously snack filled, but also healthy too. *For your health*
We’ve got one more celebratory giveaway this month! I know there has been SO many! This one is extra yummy— just keep scrolling 🙂

What the what!?!? Guacamole Bits and Ranch Country Peas!
I've had my eye on this box for a while. Seems like such a great idea but I was worried the amount I receive might not be worth the money each month. I tried the Conscious Box and felt it to be not nearly worth 20$ a month and most of the things were the same each month. I like that with this you can choose your snacks. I'd like to get my daughter eating healthier snacks too!
The baked sweet potato fries, smoky BBQ peas, and the chipotle maple almonds look sooo good!
What the what?!? Guacamole Bits and Ranch Country Peas!
I love the look of those poppy seed sticks!!
I'd love to try the dried mangos!

Apple Pie Oak Clusters! WHHHAT that sounds delish! Sunshine chips look fun too!
Peppery Chk peas or pistachios for me! Yum!
Guacamole bites! Yes, I want in on that action!
Like you, I go for the salty over the sweet. I'm thankful that my boyfriend craves sour gummy worms because I won't go anywhere near them.
mmm… the harvest nuts mix looks so good:)
so for my salty/sweet tooth (teeth?) i would absolutely have to go with the salted caramel pretzel pops. as soon as I see 'salted caramel' i'm sold – i don't even care what words follow those two, i'm destined to try it. thanks for being so awesome and hosting this for us 🙂
Mhmm I'd definitely try the Yogurt Dipped Pretzels……sabrinarob90@gmail.com
It all looks so good but the yogurt dipped pretzels and the guacamole bites look super good!
All of the nuts! Sea salt roasted chickpeas, citrus kick almonds, lemon pucker pistachios — WHAA??
Also a sucker for figgy bars and all things granola 🙂

I have been on the fence about purchasing a subscription to naturebox for months now, and it would be great to be able to try their offerings! I think the apple pie figgy bars and smokey bbq peas sound amazing. Sweet & savory!
One of my friends just started getting Nature box–she let me sample and all of her choices were delicious! My favorite so far are the cheddar pretzel bites and the sesame sticks!
Boo to me for living in the UK as this looks awesome!! We have something similar here called a Graze box, but it doesn't seem as adaptable as this one! When I am looking for snacks, a little healthier than potato chips I go for these salted beet chips http://wp.me/p4xZmb-Bb I reckon you'd love them 🙂 – congrats on the book buy the way, that's fantastic news 🙂 xx
Oh wow. These look delicious! If I have to pick just one….Cranberry Almond Bites!

In my last semester of college, I'm taking a food and sustainability course. It's definitely the most important class I've ever taken and has been so eye-opening to our current food culture. I now view food through a whole(some) new lens. I love that I can cater the NatureBox subscription to be GMO-free!! The sour cream and onion almonds look amazinggg!

The roasted pepper and salt chick peas look delish!
