October Love With Food Box Review


This is my first box for Love with Food, and while i am not in love, i am definitely in like! Octobers box arrived in a pretty red box that kind of looked like a Christmas present. When i opened it i was surprised to see that the entire box was filled with delicious food.


Before i go on to tell you more let me tell you a little bit about this subscription. It is 10 dollars (plus 2 for shipping) a month, you receive 6+ gourmet samples, discounts for purchasing full sized items, earn points to use in the store, cancel any time, free recipes and best of all a box of food is donated to a hungry child. So you are getting a treat and doing good for someone else, food and food for the soul!


The items i received are the following:
Numi Organic Pu-erh Tea-
This tea tasted so natural! I felt like i was having armor therapy while drinking this tea. I got more energy from this tea then most of the black coffee beverages that i drink. This product has multiple benefits and is a lower fat option to coffee drinks since it has natural flavor. Just don't drink at night, and it makes a very flavorful iced tea! Flavors include jasmine, ginger, even chocolate!



Enjoy Life Foods Not Nuts Seeds and Fruit Mountain Mambo Mix-
I was a little skeptical about this. I thought it was anther trail mix tasting product, but, it tasted nothing like trail mix. It was a sweet mix of chocolate chips, still moist dried fruits, and a mix of seeds. Crunchy, soft, sweet, and savory. This is a great pick me up snack for a long after noon. Even though it is a small pack it took care of my 3pm hunger and allowed me to feel like i chose a healthier snack then a chocolate bar.


Nature's Kick Blackberrys Blossm Honey Straws
Liquid nector sticks? These struck me as very curious. I snipped the end of off and let my son have a naturaly sweet snack. He loved these! It was like a natural and grown up version of a pixi stick that kids like too! I also used one in my Pu-erh Numi tea. These are perfect to throw in your purse since they are no mess and they are so much healtier then sugar and sugar alternatives!


Natasha's Health Nut Cookies in Cranberry Orange Cookies-
This soft, crumbly, cookie tasted like something i would have backed myself. Sugar free, gluten free, and reduced carbs, is great for those watching their weights. The sweetness comes from the fruit flavours and not from sugar which is a nice difference


Go Go Squeez AppleApple-
This little bag of apple sauce was perfect for my two year old! He ate it in under a minuet and i love that it is healthy and natural for him. It is portable so adult or child youy can have a fruit snack with you when you go out. One of the recipies this month including using this to make pinaple shrimp dip!


Snikiddy All Natural Baked Fries in Cheddar Cheese-
I choose this snack to keep for myself. I love cheese fries and this all natural baked option seemed like something i would enjoy! Each crispy fry had the perfect amount of cheese flavor. This bag was the perfect size for a snack and i could picture pairing this with a sandwhich or as a snack by itself.


Mrs. May's Naturals White Sesame Acai Strawberry Strips
This was a snockingly delicious snack. Crispsy, crunchy, sweet. I loved these. Not too sweet, not too over powering just the right amount of seeds and fruit. The glaze over the seeds also had a great flavour. This little pack was enough to make me feel satisfied and the weight loss powers of acai along with the antioxidents contained in strawberries and low fat sesame seeds this is a better option then a vending machine purchase, or a glazed peanut bar.



Some of the Intro Cards included:




What i really like about this service is the food range is so large that there is something for everyone in your family, or just a variety of products for you to try. I like that there are so many products and that they are decent in size. Many of the recipies correspond with items that come in the box, so you can taste them and then decide to buy them, or use them in a recipie. If you a foodie or like trying new snacks, feel like you are stuck in a food rut, or just want something differnt, this is a great choice and cheap enough to keep both your stomach and wallet satisfied!
