What I Ate Wednesday || Snacking Favorites and a Foodie Giveaway

 Welcome to this week’s What I Ate Wednesday!

Lately I seem to be eating the same things so instead of a bunch of photos of foods you’ve seen before I’m sharing my favorite snacks. I eat 5 times/day and 2 of those time are snacks which lately have been…

grape tomatoes and fat free cottage cheese with black pepper

chilled orange wedges (During one of my recent half marathons they handed out chilled orange wedges on the course. They were the best oranges ever and I’ve been craving them ever since.)

Pretzel Crisps with fruit (or hummus)

mini sweet peppers

Probably my right-now favorite, 1/4 cup greek yogurt, 1/4 fat free cottage cheese, granola and sliced strawberries.

 NatureBox offered me the the wonderful opportunity to try a month’s NatureBox. Given my preference for all natural foods I was immediately intrigued and agreed without hesitation. A little about the company in case they’re new to you too…

At NatureBox, we source and deliver healthier alternatives to today’s junk food to our customers on a monthly subscription basis. Our products include whole grain granolas, dried fruits, trail mixes, and raw fruit and nut bars, to name a few. Additionally, we provide our community with nutritious education such as healthy tips and snacking ideas from our team of nutritionists via our newsletter and our blog. Most of our customers are health-conscious (and busy!) individuals and parents who want to make more wholesome choices in their daily life or for their family but may be overwhelmed or intimidated by all of the information and products out there right now (or just want fun new snacks to add to their day!).

The NatureBox I received exceeded my expectations with quantity, quality, and food selections! I love the convenience of home delivery, and after seeing what is included in the monthly package I thought the price was beyond reasonable. Maybe more than anything I liked this about NatureBox products…

To give you an idea of what is included here are a few of the items from April’s NatureBox….

Dried Pears

Peppery Pistachios

Smoky Pumpkin Seeds

Cranberry Jubilee

I was sure I would write this and include what was my favorite, but there were too many good foods to pick just one. So instead I’ll say, honestly, there wasn’t one thing I didn’t like. And did I mention home delivery? With the crazy busyness of life that’s a convenient bonus!
