WHAT IT IS: An online subscription service that delivers healthy snacks to your door. You can pick your snacks or let NatureBox surprise you with their selection.

WHY WE LIKE IT: NatureBox provides a fun alternative to junk food snacks: their motto is “snack smarter.”

The company offers over 100 nutritionist-appproved selections that include nuts, grains, salty snacks, dried fruit and many other unique, healthy choices. A subscription duration can be entirely customized (e.g.weekly, monthly, etc.) and accomodate dietary restrictions. Each delivery includes up to 5 snack types.

We especially love NatureBox as a gift: send one to a friend, college student or post-grad worker. We also appreciate that NatureBox “gives” through a partnership with Feeding America.

HOW MUCH IT COSTS: $19.95 per delivery. You may determine the frequency (weekly, monthly, semi-annually, etc.)

NOW, TAKE THE FIRST STEP: Go to www.naturebox.com and take a look at their choices. Treat yourself or someone you love to healthy snacks!
