Love With Food April box

I got my Love With Food box today!  I've posted about Love With Food before...basically it's a monthly food subscription service that provides gourmet food samples.  The coolest thing about them is that they donate a meal to hungry children for every box sold. April's theme was "Bunny Hop Into Spring", and everything in it looks awesome this month!

As always, it came with a cute little card talking about the theme and the contents. This month obviously has an easter theme to it.

It's always a good sign to open a box and see chocolate!

These are Organic Chocoate Fusions.  I got little buttons of four different flavors: Pina Colada Milk Chocolate, Masala Chai Milk Chocolate, Mayan Pepper Chai Dark Chocolate, and Midnight Mocha Extra Dark Chocolate.

I already ate the Pina Colada ones and they were good! Not overly pina colada-y and don't taste gross and cheap.  Can't wait to try the chai ones!

This is what I am most excited about in this box! Caramel Wrapped Pretzel Petites by Mom's Originals. Mmmm. Gourmet pretzels filled with a soft layer of caramel and dipped in milk or dark chocolate. I accidentally tore the wrapper of the dark one, so I took that as an excuse to just eat it...and it was good! The caramel is nice and soft and chewy, and the chocolate is good.  I would consider buying these!

Four Masala Chai Blend tea bags by Impra tea.  These are a blend of ceylon and green tea. I love chai, so I look forward to trying these.

Annie's Honey Bunny Grahams.  These are made from organic wheat. I always loved Teddy Grahams, so I'll have fun packing these in my lunch this week!

Ferrero Hazelnut Chocolate Eggs.  MORE CHOCOLATE!  I love Ferrero Rocher, so these have to be good.  I am fighting the temptation to eat them now...

So excited about these! The yellow is Meyer Lemon Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and the reddish is Rich Basil and Raspberry Vinegar, both by Oliovera.  I can't wait to try these over some greens.

Overall, this is a great box!  It will be my last month, as I just don't have the budget right now, but I am very pleased and will enjoy everything in the box.  I'll add more detailed reviews as I try them!

Love With Food March box!

So, I was really excited to check the mail today and discover that I'd gotten my Love With Food box!

 If you haven't heard of it, Love With Food Best Bites is a subscription service similar to Birchbox that sends you 5 or 6 gourmet food samples a month.  Similar to BB, it has a points system to earn free credits, and each item in your monthly box is discounted 40 percent, should you choose to buy the full size.  It costs $14 a month, and offers a variety of sweet and savory snacks.

In my opinion, the BEST part is that Love With Food donates a meal to food banks for every box sold.  So you can actually feel good about snacking!  If this sounds good to you, join Love With Food by clicking HERE.  If you enter the promo code "FBFAN" at checkout, your first month is free.

Anyway, onto the box.  The box itself is small and sturdy.  It was packed full of treats!

Like many others, it came with a cute little card that lists the contents.  This month's box is supposed to be good hiking/nature snacks!

The thing I'm most excited to try is the jerky!  We got Southeast Asian Charcuterie by Little Red Dot Kitchen in Pork and Turkey.  "On-the-go savory, sweet, & smoky".  Interestingly enough, the package suggests that these are tastiest when heated!  I'll give it a try. A half a pound of this is $10.95.

Organic Popped Fuji Apple Chips by yogavive, naturally flavored with strawberry.  Each bag contains a whole apple, and they retail at $6 for 10 bags.  

Update:  I'm eating these right now, and they're delicious!  Crispy but not hard, light, and the strawberry flavor is light and not at all artificial.  I will probably buy these. Mmm.

Fig Bars by Nature's Bakery in Whole Wheat Apple Cinnamon.  This is a good sized bar!  They are 100% natural fig cookies blended with a variety of fruits, and they retail for $6 for a box of 8.

73% Cocoa Dark Belgian Chocolate with Coffee by New Tree.  Rich dark chocolate infused with coffee.  These look so good!  They cost $14.50 for a pack of 20. 

Hemp Hearts by Manitoba Harvest.  These can be sprinkled on salad, cereal, and yogurt or eaten as a snack. I also got a $1 off coupon, as pictured below.  It doesn't list a price for these.

 

And finally, Organic Energy Bars by Kate's Real Food.  There are four of these little guys in the box.  Flavors are:  Peanut Butter Chocolate Trail Mix (this comes in milk and dark chocolate)

Dark Chocolate Cherry Almond, and Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate with Flax and Hemp Seeds.  It doesn't list a price for these, but they come in a box of 12.


 Update:  I tasted Griz, which seemed to be the Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate.  It was GOOD.  It didn't have that gritty texture like most energy bars do, it just tasted like a chewy, really well done granola bar. Yum.

In all, I'm pretty excited about this box, and these are all things that I'm excited to try.  I'll update with my reviews as I taste the contents.  For a free month, you can't go wrong with this!
