Love With Food Unboxing and Review: June 2013

I’m always late with my Love With Food reviews, mainly because my box always takes a scenic route and finally gets to me a couple weeks after the shipping date or later.

The June theme is “Summer Beach Bash” and our boxes included picnic-appropriate snacks. Also, everyone who bought a June box contributed to donating not one but TWO meals to food banks of Oklahoma, which is one of the biggest reasons for subscribing to this box.

Turbana Sweet Plaintain Chips
Dried fruits are among my favorite sweet snacks, and these plaintain chips didn’t disappoint. They were crispy and full of flavor!
Overall: 4.5/5
Purchase: Yes

Flavrz Organic Drink Mix
I love bringing water enhancers along when we go out to eat, since I always end up ordering water. Unlike my usual Mio which is full of chemicals, this one is made with real organic fruit juices, so not only it is tasty, it’s healthy, too. I probably wouldn’t purchase this same flavor again just because I don’t really like goji berry, but I will try other flavors for sure.
Overall: 5/5
Purchase: Yes

Seaweed Love Roasted Seaweed
If you read my Goodies Co. review from a couple days ago you know that I love seaweed. These ultra-thin rectangular crunchy leaflets tasted ridiculously good, and I’m thinking about ordering more from Amazon, because they’re actually pretty cheap — only 70 cents per package.
Overall: 5/5
Purchase: Yes

SoyJoy Mango Coconut Bar
Finally, an energy bar I actually like! I was so excited that I finally found one that I wanted my husband to try it too, but after he bit into it he spat it out immediately and said it’s one of the grossest things he’s ever tried. Oops, I guess 🙁
Overall: 5/5
Purchase: Yes

Do More Bars Pineapple Coconut Cereal Bar
One word: meh… I’m not into overly sweet things, but even I thought that this bar could have been a tad bit sweeter. Perhaps they could have added some honey into it or something. I get that it’s supposed to be healthy and gluten-free, but I was overall unimpressed with the taste.
Overall: 2/5
Purchase: No

Surf Sweets Organic Fruity Bears
Who doesn’t like gummy bears? These taste just as good, except they’re made from organic fruit juices and sweeteners and contain vitamins. It’s a win-win for me!
Overall: 5/5
Purchase: Yes

PUR Gum Pomegranate Mint Chewing Gum
This gum is actually pretty yummy: the pomegranate flavor overpowers the mint, so it tastes very fruity and fresh at the same time. On the package it says that it’s aspartame-free, but I wasn’t sure what it was so I had to google it, and stumbled upon this Wikipedia page. A pretty interesting read, if any of you care to check it out.
Overall: 4/5
Purchase: Yes

Smooze Coconut Mango Fruit Ice
My goodness, I haven’t had a popsicle this good in a loooong time. Out of all of the samples in this box, I loved this one the most. It’s absolutely delicious, and a summertime pantry must-have if you like both mango and coconut like I do.
Overall: 5/5
Purchase: Yes

GoOrganic Organic Hard Candy 
These organic Non-GMO certified candies were quite good. They tasted just like any other hard candy, but apparently have way better ingredients. I don’t really care much for these, but it’s a good alternative to regular non-healthy variety.
Overall: 3/5
Purchase: No

The verdict: The products in the June box clearly followed the beach picnic theme, and most of them were delicious. It also ended up being my favorite from all of the LWF boxes I received to date.
