Love with Food June 2014 Review

Posted in All Natural Products, deals, Love with Food, review, Sub Box by bloomingbeautybites

Hi Loves!

I hope you all are having a great week. 🙂 Welcome to summer! lol

I was on Facebook recently and found a promotion for the Love with Food subscription box. I’m usually hesitant about paying full price for a box I don’t know what to expect, so when I saw this promotion I had to try it! I paid $2 for shipping for my first box and my, I was not disappointed at all! What also is nice about this box, is that for every box they sell, the company sends a meal to a child. Their motto is “One Box. One Meal.” There’s a range of sweet to savory flavors and I definitely love that!

Cheddar Baked Fries by Snikiddy

*50% less fat than regular chips *vegetarian

*non-GMO potatoes and corn *no MSG, no trans fat and no nuts

*certified gluten-free

*cholesterol free

I definitely enjoyed this snack although it does have that weird slight aftertaste.

Good for You Granola, Almond Butter & Jelly Sandwhich by Jolly Oak

*Non-GMO superfood granola *all natural

*zero artificial anything

I’m not much of a granola person, but wow! that may change (at least with this brand and flavor). It wasn’t too sweet and I did enjoy the dried fruits in it like raisins, dried strawberries and dried cranberries. It can easily be put on yogurt or even cereal. Or if you’re in a hurry, you could also eat it as is.

Pineapple, Raspberry and Mango Fruit Snacks by YumEarth Organics

*Made with real fruit juice *No artificial colors or flavors

*Gluten-free *100% daily Vitamin C

*Fat-free *Nut-free

*Non-GMO *100% Vegan

I love the raspberry and the pineapple flavors. Not so much on the mango flavor though. Definitely something I would like.

Chocolate Cookies by Dulcetto

*100 calories *100% Natural

*0 trans fat *No artificial flavors or coloring

This is probably my favorite thing in this box! It’s a chocolate cream filled cookie. It reminds me of those wafer cookie sticks my parents used to buy us as kids. You could eat this with tea, hot cocoa, and coffee. Even try them frozen for a summer treat.

Montmorency Cherries by Stoneridge Orchards

* Gluten free *No artificial colors, flavors or preservatives

*All Natural *100 Calories

I honestly can’t say my opinion because I’m not a dried cherry person, so I gave it away to my sister. From what I hear, she loves it.

Snap Back Cookie by The Cookie Department

A Ginger Detox Cookie

*All Natural *No trans-fat

*contains: ginger, cayenne, & blackstrap molasses

I haven’t tried this yet but I will when I have an early shift at work! Definitively I’m very interested about this cookie.

Chicago Mix by G. H. Cretors

*All Natural *No gluten ingredients

I really did like this product. It’s popcorn that’s either buttery caramel or rich cheddar cheese flavor. What I did enjoy about this is that every time you take a bite you don’t know if it’s going to be sweet or salty.

Gum Balls by Tree Hugger Gum
