NatureBox June 2014 Subscription Box Review

Disclaimer: This post may contain referral links.

NatureBox is a monthly food subscription box. NatureBox snacks contains wholesome ingredients with no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors. You can view the ingredients and other details of each snack before you choose them for the month.




Cost: $19.95 per month (Free shipping for the USA / $1.97 shipping fee outside of the continental USA / $4.95 shipping fee to Canada)
Ships to: Canada, U.S.
Ships via: USPS (It took me 5-7 business days)
Let's move onto the box, shall we?
First look
Here are the items inside the box:


French Vanilla Almond Granola: I really enjoy this one! I could eat this whole bag. Definitely would eat this with yogurt.

Mango Orange Fruit Chews: You can definitely taste the mango orange. At first bite, it might be weird (tastes a bit hard), but as you keep chewing into it, it's actually good.

Honey Crunch Crisps: Another one I enjoy! They taste like crispy wontons, but sweeter.

Garden Tomato Crunchies: I also enjoy this one! These tomato flavored almonds... delicious! To have a better taste of the garden tomato, eat a bunch of them.
BBQ Kettle Kernels: This would be my least favorite bag. You would have to eat a lot at once to taste the barbeque flavor. Otherwise, the kernals are really crunchy and there's not much flavor to it.

Overall: For $20, each bag costs $4, not bad! I hope to try other snacks (hopefully they're not gone!)

First look

Here are the items inside the box:


Minecraft Collectible Sticker ($1.99): I got the grass block. Not bad, at least it's not the creeper's face.


Mario Kart Racers ($8.99): I got Toad! 

Doctor Who Vinyl Figure ($12.99): I was excited when I found out Nerd Block had a Doctor Who item in this box! I was hoping for one of the special ones, or the ninth or tenth doctor, but eleven is still great!

Nerd Block Pin Art ($5.00?): This one is interesting. I've seen a video similar to this, and wow. I tested it out using the eleventh doctor!


Eleventh doctor

Pin Art Game

Testing the pin art!

The Iron Sentinel and Who You Gonna Call? Shirts ($15.00? each): Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS! Usually, Nerd Block gives one shirt every month, but for this month, they gave two! Both of these shirts are great! Nerd Block shirts run a bit larger (compared to Loot Crate).

OverallThis box's value is close to $60. That's double the amount I paid for!

Here are the items inside the box:

Description of the items

Dried Montmorency Cherries (Value of $1.17 for 1 oz bag) by Stoneridge Orchards

Tropical Fruit Snacks* (Value of $1.00 for .7 oz bag) by YumEarth Organics: Out of the three flavors, I only enjoyed Mango. Pineapple was meh, and the raspberry flavor was just bad. The texture is different too; chewy and a bit hard.



Cheddar Baked Fries (Value of $0.79 for 1 oz bag) by Snikiddy: These tastes great! Reminds me of Andy Capp's Cheddar Fries.

Chicago Mix Popped Corn (Value of $1.10 for 1.5 oz bag) by G. H. Cretors: Another great bag! Great combination of cheese and caramel popcorn.


The Snapback Cookie (Value of $1.50 for 1.5 oz cookie) by The Cookie Department: I didn't like this at all. The cookie is chewy, but the taste. The cayenne pepper was really strong.

Chocolate-Filled Cookies (Value of $0.75 for 0.7 oz bag) by Dulcetto: I just wished there was more in the bag ): They were good.



Individually Wrapped Gum Balls (Value of $0.23 for one gum ball) by Tree Hugger Gum

Good for You Granola, Almond Butter & Jelly Sandwich (Value of $1.87 for 1.63 oz bag) by Jolly Oak


Coupons


Overall: This box is not bad! I liked most of the items, sweet and salty. Since this was my first box, I only paid $2. The box's value is about $8.50, so for this month, it's worth the $2! I hope to see more great snacks!
