Nourish Me Well... I love the name, and it sounds delicious! When I was contacted if I wanted to review a box, I jumped onto their website here and was instantly in love (I then quickly followed them on Instagram @nourishmewell_box).
As of late, I've mainly been blogging about one of my true loves: books, but every now and then you'll see me post something about food and health/wellness - my other loves.
I received this box early in the morning before I went to work, so of course I ripped it open and had to know what I was getting into. The bad news - I had to only look and not take (eat) and head off to work, waiting for home time until I could race back, take some photos while there was still some natural lighting and then I could dig in, and dig in I did.
The Nourish Me Well box is the newest health food premium subscription service. This one is for Australian's only and contains some incredibly yummy goods. Each month contains 5-8 full size products delivered straight to your door, once a month for only $34.95. Now I know this seems quite a bit, but I did say premium. If you can forgo your daily coffee's and bring your lunch to work - this is totally affordable, especially when you're getting full sized goodies!
There are three options when subscribing: you can go month by month, 3 monthly (save $10) or 6 monthly (save $20) and you cancel anytime, no catch!
Now let's take a look inside the box:
1. Naturally Nood Bars: Cocoa Lamington Bars
These great little bars are packed with real food and none of that fake stuff. These are great for on the go, taking them to work or school, or just that 'I need a snack' moment. These are one of my favourite things in this box and would definitely buy them for my future 'I need a snack' moments.
RRP Single 35g bar $2.49, 4x35g bars $6.99
2. Kitz Living Foods: Coconut Dream Classic
I love me some coconut goodness and for there to be minimal and organic ingredients - yes please! Sweetened with brown rice syrup makes it not too sweet (therefore, perfect) and still gives that chewy goodness. My mum gave me a great idea to make my own bounty bars out of them (using the cacao powder later mentioned, I will be doing this!)
RRP 150g $11.60
3. Thinkfood: Pistachio Cranberry/Cashew Sesame Munch
I got the Pistachio Cranberry flavour and holy goodness, let us pray! This was my other favourite of this box and were the first thing I ripped open. A lot of products similar to this are too sweet, but this is the perfect amount mixed in with some salty to savour your taste buds. They come in bite size pieces and you can either eat this all at once or snack on during the day - I took them to work and made sure I didn't get them out in front of people so I didn't feel obligated to share. I will definitely be repurchasing these.
RRP 140g $5.50, 20g mini range $1
4. Byron Chai: Indian Spiced Tea
When I opened up the packet it was such an intense smell; chai will do that to you though. On my info card included in the box, there is a serving suggestion which I sort of followed and it was pretty good! I think it'll taste best with milk so I added almond milk - keeping it vegan and let it sit for a bit. This doesn't come in tea bags, so you need to be able to strain it if you don't have a tea infuser - these are really cheap though! Overall, not too bad - not my favourite but I'm a tea lover for sure.
RRP 100g $5.99
5. Power Superfoods: Raw Organic Cacao Powder
I haven't opened this, simply because I already have an opened one in my cupboard. But I'm very happy it's in this box and I now don't have to buy another one :) Want to know something interesting? This particular cacao powder has over 360% more antioxidants than regular cocoa; cool hey? I know I'll enjoy this as I use it a lot already!
RRP 125g $7.95
6. Sealand Birch: Birch Water
Birch tree sap tapped from the trees to the bottle. This one made me the most curious... When I first took a sip, I didn't really like it - I'm not really sure how to describe it but I know people will definitely like this! Especially the others flavours, which I'm also curious about. How I enjoyed my Birch Water, was putting about 1/4-1/3 of the bottle into my water bottle so it was a little diluted and I found it refreshing and delicious :)
RRP $4.95
Like mentioned earlier, you can find out all the information you need to know here and you should definitely give their Instagram a follow @nourishmewell_box because they are currently holding a GIVEAWAY for their February box! This box was not only delicious, but I love trying new things and I will seriously be purchasing some of these at my local grocery store soon.
If you have any questions, please comment down below or you can ask me on Instagram (see below) and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Until next time, take care.
