Graze – healthy snacking

Standard

For my birthday this year I received a rather unusual gift. A small brown box full of four tasty nibbles was popped through my letterbox. I’d heard about Graze before, and as a dedicated foodie, it was the *perfect* gift.

Simply speaking, Graze is:

Nature delivered, with healthy snacks by post

But how does it work?

Well, you sign up by answering a few simple questions about the food you like. You can choose from over 100 delicious, healthy nibbles – nuts, seeds, dried fruit, fresh bread and natural treats.

Then, you simply decide when you want your box delivered and wait by the letterbox (as I now do!)

And what’s in the box?

This week I got: 1) Cranberry and Honey Granola. 2) Oregano rice crackers, peanuts and herb bites. 3) Lingonberries (??) blueberries, cherry sultanas and apple. 4) Belgian chocolate, hazelnuts and raisins.

Graze works on the principle that snacking regularly, but healthily, helps to keep your blood sugar at a stable rate. This avoids the sugar highs which can make you feel bloated and uncomfortable, and the sugar lows which leave you lethargic and irritable.

The people at Graze believe that this has a number of key health benefits, including: reducing the risk of diabetes, improving concentration and reducing your craving for a quick sugar boost from the vending machine.
