Train With NatureBox
Posted on August 14, 2012 by PavementRunner in Reviews & GiveawaysCheck out the video to learn more about NatureBox
I also recommend watching it until the end… me and Mika train for the Olympics.I’m pretty excited to share this with you. I run a lot of miles… but I don’t necessarily eat “healthy.” It’s something that I have started to become more aware of through fellow blogger’s posts. When I was asked by NatureBox if I was interested in trying out their product, it immediately grabbed my attention. Their mission is to get YOU to eat healthier and that is something I need help with. I’m training for my first 50 mile race at the end of the year and drinking a coke at 3 p.m. because I’m “crashing” isn’t healthy and isn’t helping the cause. As you can see, this is a perfect opportunity for me to improve my snacking habits.
Here is a quick rundown of what NatureBox is:
Discover a Healthier You
NatureBox helps you eat healthier without needing to change your eating habits. We focus on snacks because that’s the easiest habit to change.Food You Can Trust
Every NatureBox item is carefully sourced and nutritionist approved. Everything inside your NatureBox will be guilt free so that you can feel great about what you’re eating.Together, We Give
For every NatureBox sent out, together we’re helping to feed the hungry. NatureBox donates one meal for every box to feed the over 14 million children in America who go hungry. We believe in doing good and eating well.Each month, NatureBox will send you 4-6 different snacks that contain:
- No High Fructose Corn Syrup
- No Partially Hrdrogenated Oils
- No Trans Fats
- No Artificial Sweetners
- No Artifical Flavors
- No Artificial Colors
Here is what came in my July Box, titled “Snack Freely”:
Zesta Fiesta Mix (snack mix with a kick), Sunny Trails (medley of dried fruits), Lemon Pucker Pistachios, Garden Tomato Crunchies (almonds with a tangy summery tomato flavor) and Southern BBQ Sunflower Kernels.
So far I have devoured the Sunny Trails and the Garden Tomato Crunchies and anxiously awaiting to open the others. I don’t think they’ll make it through the week as I want to try them all and I want to try them now. But what’s cool about the snacks is that you don’t need to eat them right away. The packaging keeps them fresh for a really long time and they are easily portable for you to travel with. I’m keeping them at my desk at work to avoid the 3 o’clock trip to the vending machine. If you need another reason, they are also a Northern California company and I love supporting local businesses.
Here comes the fun part.
NatureBox is so confident that you will love their monthly boxes that they’ll let you try their boxes risk free. If you are not 100% satisfied, let them now and they’ll issue a refund. Not only that, they have given me one box to share with you. That means it’s GIVEAWAY time:
One lucky winner will receive their very own NatureBox.
Details:
- It will be the next month coming up, not the same box listed above.
- The winner must have a shipping address in the US.
- At this time, NatureBox is unable to customize their NatureBoxes for specific dietary needs or personal preferences.

I think that the packaging will make it easiest for me and my family t our lives back on track in the snacking department – we do a lot for convenience so this looks great!!!
I find that if I already have a healthy snack on hand, even if I’m really craving something bad, I’ll just munch on the healthy snack since it’s already there. 99% of the time it works and I don’t get the guilty feeling of having eaten something that I shouldn’t have!
Following you on Twitter of course!

I’m a pretty healthy eater (i better be- I’m an RD!) But the grab n go aspect if the naturebox goodies really appeals to me. Anything that makes eating healthy easier is a plus in my book!
This would be awesome to keep at the office, so that there are always healthy options around!!
This would be great to take to munch on in between college classes this semester.

What a good sport Mika is. :) This would be great for my snacking habits – If I don’t plan ahead, I tend to forage for whatever I may find at the office, and it’s usually not going to be good.

I’m always looking for new snack ideas. I do pretty well now, but I can’t eat the same snacks day in and day out as it can get old and boring. I love new things.
I’d love to try this! I get stuck repeating the same snacks, and would love to branch out!

I’m a retail manager who travels for work. That means I eat on the go a lot and need to look for healthier options to take in the car with me!! I’m also a mom so I’m always on the go when I’m not working. I think naturebox could give me some more exciting healthy choices for snacking in the go!

I would love to try these snacks! i tend to go for sugary treats so some new healthy selections would be great :)
Snacking I think they named it after me. Looking for quick healthy, no brain power snacks and this seems right up my trail.
