November Love With Food Box

Pretzel Crisps by Snack Factory: These are really good! I've bought them before and I've received them in a previous box. They taste just like regular pretzels, just a little crunchier. Definitely very tasty! Great with dip or just by themselves!

Cinnabon Popcorn by Wise: This popcorn was okay. I don't like Cinnabon cinnamon rolls since they are so extremely sweet, and I was expecting this to taste really sweet too, but it didn't really taste sweet at all. More of cinnamon flavor which I liked. I wouldn't consider this popcorn anything spectacular, but it wasn't too bad.
Chocolate Bar by AWAKE Chocolate: First off, I was expecting this to be more of a protein type bar (since the previous bar I had gotten from them was. And now that I look at the packaging it doesn't say either way what exactly it is.), but it's actually just a chocolate bar. The chocolate itself is pretty good. It's not very creamy and doesn't melt in your mouth all that well, but the flavor isn't bad. My only complaint is that it is so hard! You almost feel like you're going to break your tooth biting into it. 
Peanuts Power Pack by Hubs: These peanuts were pretty good. They were very salty, but otherwise not too bad.

Peanut Butter Crackers by Bell Plantation: These were kind of weird. They tasted somewhere between a cracker and a cookie. I didn't think they were peanut buttery enough, and they have kind of an odd flavor.
Chocolate Banana Bar by Nutryttiva: To be honest, this was terrible. The texture was really weird; somewhere between taffy and some sort of cake. Despite the fact it said they use real bananas, the banana flavor tasted really fake to me. 
SuperFruit Fruit Snacks by Tasty Brand: These were pretty good. Not the best fruit snacks I've ever had or anything, but they weren't too sticky and the flavors weren't bad.

Chocolate Ginger Chews by GoOrganic: These were awful. Very strong ginger flavor, or I should probably say an overpowering ginger flavor. I don't mind ginger usually, but this was way too much. The texture was okay, like a soft Tootsie Roll. But just too gingery for my liking.

Overall, I wasn't too happy about this box. I've decided I'm going to just get the December box and then cancel my subscription. I just haven't been getting anything good in any of the boxes, and there is another snack box I've been wanting to try.

Do you get any subscription boxes? What are your favorites?

September Love With Food Box Review

Sandwich Crackers by Lance - I'm not a fan of cheese sandwich crackers, so I gave these to my sister. She said the cheese was good, but the crackers were just okay.
Orchard Bar - This was okay. It could have done with more berry flavor, but overall not too bad.
Caramel Apple Crisp Premium Puffed Corn by Cosmos Creations - I really wasn't expecting this to taste all that great, I mean, it's essentially caramel apple corn. Which just sounds really weird. But it actually didn't taste too bad! There wasn't really much of an apple flavor, but the caramel was nice. It wasn't sticky or too sweet either.

Vermont Uncured Pepperoni Turkey Stick - This was just disgusting. I like pepperoni, but I don't know if it was the turkey or the spices, but it was really gross.
Cocoa & Milk Classic Wafers by Loacker - This really didn't taste all that great. It had that flavorless styrofoam ice cream cone taste that just isn't all that good. Not really much of a chocolate flavor, and you couldn't taste the milk part either.
Organic Fruit Candies by GoOrganic (Mango and Watermelon) - The flavors of these weren't too bad. I don't really like hard candies, so I wouldn't go out and buy these, but they were okay.
Organic Gummy Cherries by Black Forest Organic - I really really liked these! As an adult, you don't typically go out and buy fruit snacks, but these were really tasty! I like that they're organic and made with fruit juice. Definitely recommend!

Bunches of Crunches Dark Chocolate Sea Salt with Chia Granola by Bakery on Main - I thought this granola was okay. Not the greatest, but not too bad. I really didn't taste any chocolate flavor, (like pieces of chocolate or anything.) Maybe more of a cocoa powder type of taste.
Overall this wasn't too bad of a box. The organic gummy cherries were my favorite. (They're available at Target!). And the rest of the stuff was just okay. With the exception of the turkey pepperoni stick which was just gross! 

Have you tried any of these products? What did you think of them?

August Love With Food box review

Iced Tea Crystals by Pique Tea: I actually didn't try this. I don't really care for tea, so this wasn't something I really wanted to try.
Crispy Rice Bar by EnviroKidz: This was just okay. Certainly not anything like a Rice Krispie Treat, but not too bad either.

Quinoa Chocolate Chip Cookies by Goodie Girl: I've never eaten quinoa before, but I've heard it has kind of a strong flavor, so I wasn't sure what expect with these cookies. They actually ended up tasting pretty good! They're the really crunchy kind of cookies, not soft like I prefer. But they were okay.
Fruit & Cream Smoothie Pops by Fru-licious: I was careful when I opened this and it still squirted all over. And then when I tasted it and it was just nasty! Terrible flavor, almost like those horrible liquid vitamins. It doesn't say to refrigerate it, but I think it needs to be. Definitely not something I would ever buy! 

Carnival Kettle Popcorners by Our Little Rebellion: These chips were pretty good! I don't typically like kettle corn because it is too sweet, but this had a subtle kettle flavor that I liked.

Seaweed Snacks by Ocean's Halo: All I can really say is EW! Who thought these were a good idea to include in this box? Seaweed is such an acquired taste and not something most people are going to enjoy. The texture was weird and the flavor was really off putting. BBQ is usually such a strong flavor, but all I could taste was the seaweed.
Toasted Coconut Toffee by Chimes: I didn't really care for these. I don't really like hard candy in general, but these were just not that great. I couldn't even really taste a coconut flavor, the toffee was pretty overpowering. Which was fine with me because I don't really care for coconut either!
Vanilla Powdered Peanut Butter by Peanut Butter & Co.: I didn't really care for the powdered peanut butter. I was comparing it to the peanut butter I typically buy, and, yes, this has less calories (50 per two tablespoons versus 200 of the regular peanut butter for the same amount.). But, my regular peanut butter has more protein (8 grams versus only 5 grams in this.) I added this into my protein shake in place of my regular peanut butter and it's just okay. Not sure if I really like the vanilla flavor. It wasn't really a strong flavor, but it just tasted a little odd. It made my protein shake kind of gritty. Not something I would go out and buy myself. I will just be sticking to my regular peanut butter!

Zesty Snack Mix by Sheffa: This snack mix really didn't taste all that great. Certainly not 'zesty' like the packaging advertises. It just didn't really have a whole lot of flavor at all. I just thought it was weird. 
Overall this was kind of a disappointing box. There wasn't really anything I loved, at least nothing I would go out of my way to purchase.

It seems like I get one good box, and then I'll get several duds. Not sure if I want to continue with this box anymore! The September box looks good, but I'll probably just cancel again after that. 

If you have a favorite subscription box, tell me about it in the comments! I'd love to hear some suggestions!

Pure Grow Organic White Cheddar Popcorn Mojito Lime Mint Pur Mints
Organic Popcorn by Pure Growth Organic Food: The popcorn was okay. I don't care for cheddar popcorn in the first place, but this just tasted like any other cheddar popcorn. On a positive note, the popcorn was soft, not tough like other bagged popcorn can be.

Mojito Lime Mints by PUR Mints: I really did not like these mints! I don't care for fruit flavors with mint, I just don't think it goes together. If you like mojitos, then I think you would really like this as it does have a strong flavor; it just wasn't for me.
Mini JiMMYBAR!

JimmyBar! in No Bluffin' Banana Muffin: I really didn't care for this. The texture was super weird and I didn't taste any banana at all.
TruJoy Sweets YumEarth Sourbeans
Organic Bunny-Shaped Lollipops by TruJoy Sweets: I thought this was pretty good. I wasn't really expecting to like it, but I ended up finishing it. I'm not sure what flavor it was supposed to be, but it did taste good!

Sour Beans by YumEarth: These were okay. They kind of reminded me of the Flintstones vitamins I'm sure we've all had as kids. I just thought they tasted a little odd. 
Luna Protein Berry Greek Yogurt Protein Bar
Berry Greek Yogurt Bar LUNA Protein: I thought this protein bar was pretty good. It didn't really have much of a blueberry flavor, just a few dried blueberries in the middle of the bar, but otherwise pretty good.
Barney Butter Smooth Almond Butter Chef's Cut Real Steak Jerky
Snack Pack by Barney Butter Almond Butter: I thought this almond butter was really good! Granted, I haven't tried too many other almond butters, so I can't say if this is any better than any other brands, but I thought it was pretty tasty!

Real Steak Jerkyby Chef's Cut: I'm not really a fan of beef jerky, I just don't care for the texture of it. But I tried this anyways and it was actually pretty good! It was soft and had really good flavor. I ended up giving it to my sister and she loved it!
Pretzel Perfection Twice-Baked Pretzel Sticks Tomato Basil

Twice-Baked Tomato-Basil Pretzel Sticks by Pretzel Perfection: These were pretty good. I was worried the flavor would be overpowering, but it's not that bad. There were a lot of pretzels in the bag too! They would probably tasted really good with the hummus I got in last month's box!
July Love With Food Box
This was an okay box. There were a few items I really liked (the Barney Almond Butter and the pretzel sticks were my favorite.) and there were a few items I really did not like (the mints and the JimmyBar.), and the rest were just okay. I thought there was a nice range of different products, but overall it was just an okay box.
