Bestowed Box April 2014 Review, Pictures

pr sample affiliate links

Last time I reviewed a Bestowed Box way back in September, so I think now is a good time to refresh our memory and see if anything has changed since then. To celebrate Earth Day, in the month of April all subscribers received a selection of healthy products from brands that are doing their best to stay eco-conscious.

HOW IT WORKS
Bestowed Box is a food type subscription that delivers delicious food, snacks, beverages and more to try for just $19/month + FREE shipping. All products have been carefully selected by celebrity nutritionist and author Heather Bauer and every box is loaded with insider tips, recipes, and more!

Little Duck Organics Tiny Fruits

Little Duck Organics Tiny Fruits in Strawberry & Mango – This big package is actually very light, the whole thing weighs only 1oz! Inside, there is a mix of dehydrated non-GMO mangoes and strawberries with no added sugar or preservatives. This snack was delicious, and the texture reminded me of crispy marshmallows.

Luna Protein Bars

Luna Bar Chocolate Coconut Almond & Lemon Vanilla – If I didn’t already know these were protein bars, I’d think these are candy bars. Luna bars are probably my favorite protein snacks, and unlike most others, they don’t taste like cardboard. I especially liked the Lemon Vanilla variety, it had a sharp citrusy flavor and coated in delicious yogurt glaze.

Nature’s Path Sunrise Cereal

Nature’s Path Sunrise Cereal in Crunchy Vanilla – This gluten-free, low-fat mix smells and tastes like actual vanilla beans, which was a welcome change from my regular artificially flavored cereals. It wasn’t too sweet either, and really gave off a “healthy” vibe. I liked it, but not enough to purchase.

Good Health Glories Sweet Potato Chips

Good Health Glories Sweet Potato Chips in Sea Salt – These sweet potato chips were very thin and delightfully crunchy, but didn’t have enough seasoning for my liking. I think they’d work really well with a dip, but I just ate them on their own, right from the bag.

Lucini Italia Premium Select EVOO

Lucini Italia Premium Select EVOO – Honestly, I can’t really tell the difference between different types of high quality cold-pressed EVOOs, but I do know that this one tastes really good. So far I used it once to make a vinaigrette, and it turned out fantastic!

3B Bags Reusable Produce Bag

3B Bags Reusable Produce Bag

3B Bags Reusable Produce Bag – This washable mesh drawstring bag is meant to replace the plastic bags for produce at the grocery store. I received a reusable grocery tote in another subscription this month, and this bag will become its perfect companion.

Numi Tea Sipping Broth in Tomato & Mint

Numi Tea Sipping Broth in Tomato & Mint – I actually already have a full box of these. I know, the idea probably sounds crazy, but this “tea” actually tastes like a broth, without the extra calories. Instead of sugar, I mix in some salt and parsley to kick it up a notch.

Torie & Howard Organic Hard Candy

Torie & Howard Organic Hard Candy – You can find hard candy in all of my purses! It’s the smallest snack I could think of, and pretty discreet, too. After all, it’s not like I’m going to start chewing on a Luna bar during a lengthy wedding ceremony 🙂

Coupons for Shirataki Noodles and Back to the Roots Mushroom Kit

[Coupons] House Foods Shirataki Noodle & Back to the Roots Mushroom Kit – My husband and I love good Asian food, especially Thai and Japanese, so this free bag of noodles will be a welcome addition to my shopping cart. The second coupon is a 50% discount to purchase Back to the Roots Mushroom Kit, which allows you to grow your own organic oyster mushrooms. Considering that each box can yield at least 2 harvests, according to my calculations, getting these kits with the discount is cheaper per oz than buying these mushrooms at the store [and who knows how long they’ve been sitting there!] I look forward to playing with my countertop mushroom farm 🙂

THE VERDICT
The April box was just as good as the one I sampled a few months ago, despite the lower retail value; it contained high quality products, that aren’t just good for you, but also for the planet. I appreciate that Bestowed encourages their subscribers to be healthy and eco-conscious by introducing us to the companies we might have not heard of otherwise.
