Thank you to Love with Food for providing our box for review.

What is Love with Food?

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I received our Love with Food box.  Love with Food is a monthly subscription box full of snacks and things.  They’re all pretty healthy, and there are around 8-10 items per box.

A Good Value

I thought that the box was very affordable and a pretty decent value.  It’s $10 a month.  That comes out to around $1 per item, which is probably what I would pay to try them out if/when I found them at the grocery store.  Except that some of these are items I might not be able to readily find locally (and don’t want to pay to order until I know I like them), or that I would have to buy a bigger package of, just to decide whether or not I like them.  And $10 – that’s not that much.  I’m likely to spend that much on new things to try in any given month, anyway.

All of these are pictures of my actual box, with its actual contents.  I love the little included card.  It just summarizes what’s in the box, but it’s a good way to keep track of what you’ve tried.  If you wanted to, you could even take notes on it to remind you what you liked.

Box Contents

These 9 items were in my box this month.  The Green & Black chocolate (#8, in the little drawstring bag) was a welcome treat, but not something I needed to be introduced to.  I already know that’s delicious!  All of the other items were new to me, at least in the specific flavors that were sent.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the PopChips (#2).  I don’t typically like anything sweet potato, but I scarfed these down.  Most of the other items I tried were pretty tasty, too.

These sweet corn Crunch Dried Snacks (#6) were a bit…unexpected.  They’re dry and crunchy and you’d expect them to taste rather like popcorn, but they don’t.  They taste exactly like eating fresh corn.  It’s a little weird.  They taste good, but it’s totally not what your tastebuds expect!

What If You’re Gluten-Free (Like Me)?

Of the nine items in this box, 3 specify that they’re gluten-free.  Five more contain no gluten ingredients (although one was not labeled with nutrition information and it was frustratingly difficult to track down).  Only one of the nine items (#5, the shortbread) contained gluten.

Coupons

Several coupons were included for brands in the box; most of these were good for at least two months from the time I received the box.

Gives Back to the Community

What’s more, this is a gift that gives back!  For every box or item you buy, a meal is donated to a hungry child through food bank programs such as No Kid Hungry.
