▴ ▪︎ ▴ ▪︎ GRAZE ▪︎ ▴ ▪︎ ▴

If any of you watch Tyler Oakley on YouTube, you might have heard of this food company he has mentioned in a few videos, called Nature Box.
A few days ago, I got an email from a food company called Graze. They are similar to Nature Box, except they are in the UK! If you want to order from them or just check them out, this is their website : https://www.graze.com/uk


I went onto their website, and you can choose from the following boxes :
- Nibble Box
- Light Box
- Goody Box
- Breakfast Box
- Boost Box
- Chocolate Box
- Savoury Box
- Sustain Box
- Sugarcount Box
- Big Box

All boxes have 4 snacks, and the big box has 5, and costs £15.

I decided to get a Nibble box, so then I signed up and chose my snacks! They have a massive range of snacks, from puddings to olives ~ they have it all! Under each food, you can tick 'Bin' (never send me this), 'Try' (happy to try), 'Like' (send occasionally) or 'Love' (send regularly), and this helps the people at Graze to see what foods you like and don't like when it comes to putting the snacks in your box! They then choose 4 different foods (obviously ones you haven't binned!), so when you order a box, you don't know what you're going to get!

What I really liked, was their offer - You get your first and last box (5th) free! The normal price of a box is £3.99, and it's free postage and packaging! You can order them to be deliver weekly or fortnightly.

As Tyler says, Y'all know I don't talk about something unless I can give you the hookup, so if you use the code 'MIAB3FFCB', you can get your 1st, 5th and 10th box free!



Mine came this morning, and I've taken pictures to show what you would see if you order a box.


They gave me two vouchers to spend for myself or give to my friends.
This little leaflet gives you a little welcome, and shows you the important nutrition info about the snacks I ordered.
Graze called this a 'Little Book of Handy Tips'. This little book tells you how everything works and about the company!
There are 4 snacks in a regular box. They also give you a napkin, but it's hidden under the snacks.


If you have any questions about Graze, feel free to ask me in the comments below or go to their website (mentioned earlier).
