Having recently heard about the Graze box service, I decided to give it a go. Graze (www.graze.com) puts together a box full of different snacks to be delivered to you at your convenience, serving as a snack during work hours or something to treat yourself to at home. Usually priced at £3.99 a box, the range of options on offer include dried fruit, cakes and biscuits, porridge and even soup! At the moment, Graze are offering the first box for free, so with nothing to lose, I ordered my first box.

Ta-dah! It's arrived! |
It took three days to arrive, and fits through the letterbox, again making it convenient for the customer.

To start you off, Graze has selected four random snacks for you to try. Enclosed in the box, are four small pots, as well as a welcome leaflet and a piece of paper to tell you what snacks you have.

Super Carrot Cake and Sour Cream and Garlic Crostini |
When I opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised. There was nothing in there to have me running for the hills. I received:
- Super Carrot Cake - a small gluten-free carrot cake, also including Graze's special blend Afternoon Infusion Tea. The cake was quite nice, lovely and moist. The tea I didn't really take to - the taste left a lot to be desired.
- Sour Cream and Garlic Crostini - this was the first pot I opened. I really like the sour cream flavoured cashew nuts!
- Rhubarb and Pear Compote - dried rhubarb, pear and cranberries. A nice treat.
- Chocolate Pretzel - poppyseed pretzels, complete with a chocolate hazelnut dipping sauce.

I can't really fault the general quality of the food, but I thought you didn't actually get that much in the box. Yes, I know it is intended to be a snack, and snacks are small, but I think for the actual price you would be paying, the quantity is not really justifiable. Graze provides options to deliver twice a week, once a week and once a month. The cost really adds up if you subscribe for a long period of time, and I don't really think it is worth that cost for what you get.
After the free box, I cancelled my subscription. After eating my food. Nom.
