Hey guys!
Guess what?
I received my THIRD Graze Box yesterday! I would've posted about it last night but I went out to an old-fashioned event called Itchy Feet (link to the website: http://www.itchyfeetonline.co.uk/).
Here is a photo of my friends and I taken at the event last night. I was wearing a black dress with white spots that I bought in my local Cancer Research shop. At just under £5 it was a real bargain. The belt was also very cheap - only £1.50 (and there were two other belts in the same set). You can't really see it, but I'm wearing a necklace. I bought it from Amazon several months ago. Unfortunately, it's not available at the moment but here's a photo and link anyway:
Me doing a crazy spin!
And my third Graze Box:
As with the previous two boxes, I received four snacks. However, I chose the chocolate box this time so I got four punnets containing some form of chocolate. I am so excited to try the snacks!
Anyway, on to the main point of this post...
This morning I finished my Breakfast Graze Box. Sad times as I now have to resume eating regular "mainstream" cereal...well, at least until I decide to buy another breakfast box!
I love how Graze says "good morning sunshine" on the box - it feels more special and easily puts a smile on my face in the morning when I open the box to take out a breakfast snack.
I first decided to try the Strawberry and Blackcurrant Porridge. Although I did enjoy it, I can't really give this breakfast snack the best review, since I am used to putting loads of honey in my porridge and I didn't have any at the time! Nevertheless, the fruit pieces made up for the lack of sweetener. I found the porridge to have a very creamy texture, unlike the porridge I'm used to (probably because I usually use so much milk). Would I try it again? I think I would like to receive the Strawberry and Blackcurrant Porridge again. However, a few more fruit pieces and a little drizzle of honey will undoubtedly go a long way to make this porridge a very good breakfast.
I also received Summer Fayre granola in my Breakfast Box. This is around 200 calories (fairly good in my opinion) and consists of crunchy rice and rye flakes, as well as a generous amount of apple flakes and strawberry pieces.
Dark Chocolate Orange Granola was delicious. I loved the orange-y taste and the little chocolate swirls.
For some reason I didn't take a photo of the Rocky Road Granola so here's one from the Graze website:
I was intrigued about this cereal as I love Rocky Road bars. I was initially expecting it to have pieces of marshmallow but fortunately it didn't - I've never had a cereal with marshmallows before! The Rocky Road Granola did not disappoint. As with the previous three cereals, this was very delicious. I like the way Graze deconstructs typical puddings and other popular snacks to make healthier versions containing fruit and nuts. It's a very good idea! The Rocky Road Granola itself consists of chocolate granola, dark chocolate curls, cherries, pistachios and pumpkin seeds. Yum yum! I'll point out that it has 341 calories and 21 grams of sugar (same as the Dark Chocolate Orange Granola) so probably isn't a wise idea to eat it on a regular basis.
Once again I was very pleased with my box from Graze! It was a good idea signing up to the website!
