Graze Snack Box Review + Discount Code

If you have bought a magazine or ordered something from Amazon within the past couple of years you will no doubt have come across a voucher offering you a 'free Graze box.' How many of you have thrown said vouchers away or alternatively actually taken the offer up? I am one of the many who have done the latter.



I have been subscribed to Graze for over a year now and I still feel that same buzz of excitement every fortnight when my delivery arrives. For those of you who don't know, Graze is a subscription company that offers you a huge variety of healthy and balanced snacks that are delivered straight to your door as often as you please! Not only do they have their 'variety box' which I am a loyal customer of, but they also offer breakfast boxes, chocolate boxes, 'light' boxes and even a kids box. Snacks range from flapjacks to dried fruit to their own take on the classic chocolate brownie and the best part is that they are all healthy alternatives to the usual snacks you find in the supermarket. Prices can vary depending on the box, but the average price is around £3.89. The company have also recently began selling some of their punnets in Sainsbury's and Boots so if you don't want to commit to a subscription you can still try a few of their best snacks. I highly recommend the salted fudge & peanut cookie! 

Every few months Graze introduce new snacks to their collection and in my most recent box all four of my snacks were brand new so I thought I would write a short review on each snack and tell you how I rate it out of 10!


'Belgian Speculoos' (cookie dip with cinnamon pretzel sticks)
This was by far my favourite punnet out of the four and definitely makes it into my list of 'loves.' I am a huge fan of the lotus biscoff spread so when I saw that Graze had a new snack with cookie spread I knew that I HAD to try it ASAP. It didn't disappoint. The cookie butter is nice and smooth just how I like it (I've never been a lover of crunchy spreads) and the pretzels have a pretty good cinnamon taste to them. Together they make the perfect combo! I highly recommend that you click 'send soon' on this bad boy. 9/10



'Sesame Garlic Crunch' (oat bran sesame sticks, garlic sesame sticks & multigrain soy rice crackers)
This wasn't my favourite punnet as overall I thought it tasted a bit bland with the exception of the soy crackers. The taste of soy was significantly strong so if you don't usually like the salty taste of this flavour then you probably won't like the crackers. As I expected, the oat bran sesame sticks were bland with no distinct flavour while the garlic sticks were a little more flavoursome but not by much. However, I do think they would have been a lot nicer dipped in salsa! I don't think I will be requesting this punnet again any time soon. 3/10


'Louisiana Wild Rice & Beans' (wild rice sticks & chilli broad beans)
I much preferred this savoury punnet to the other. The rice sticks had a salty taste but it wasn't too empowering. Just the perfect amount in my book! Admittedly I didn't expect the broad beans to be as spicy as they were. Not my favourite savoury snack from Graze, but this punnet does the trick if you're craving a savoury snack! 5/10


'Salted Pecan & Chocolate Tart' (milk chocolate & salted almond buttons, pecans, chopped dates & pumpkin seeds)
Over the course of my subscription to Graze I have came to realise that I much prefer the sweet snacks to the savoury ones and this final punnet was an absolute treat. There was nothing particularly special about the pecans, dates & pumpkin seeds. The chocolate however MY OH MY! There were small pieces of salted almonds in among the milk chocolate and they were delicious. A great way to get your chocolate fix in a nutritious way! Sometimes with punnets like these I'll combine the ingredients together in hope that it will taste similar to what the name of the snack is. Wanting to save the chocolate buttons for last, I didn't combine them all this time around but I did try the dates and pecans together and the taste was divine! 7/10


Here's hoping that after reading this you might think twice about throwing those Graze vouchers away! In my opinion, they're definitely worth the money and with so many snacks available there's something for everyone. Alternative to the vouchers, feel free to use my friend code! This code allows you your 1st, 5th and 10th box free! And do you know what the best part is? There is no commitment and you can easily cancel the subscription at any time.
