Apple & Eve Juices


#QuenchersAdventures

As a mom to a now almost 9 month old little boy and step mom to a 13 year old big girl, I am always trying to find healthy foods for my family to enjoy. Let’s just say it’s not always welcomed as I would like. The funny thing is that I get the most resistance from my spouse. He is so anti veggies and seafood that I struggle with being able to maintain a healthy home. I have been pushing it more lately because I want to make sure my kids are eating what they should be. Even trying healthy drinks, smoothies, inserting veggies into any and every meal lol. Before I digress, let’s get into the Apple and Eve juices.

I was lucky enough to be sent the Apple and Eve Quenchers for testing purposes. My daughter was super excited when she saw them because they come in juice boxes as well as a bigger carton. They are organic, natural, no sugars added, and contain 50% less sugar. The flavors I was sent to try were Berrylicious Lemonade, Razzberry Apple Splash, Fruit Punch Burst, and Orange Pineapple (carton).

We each tried one and then took turns trying each other’s juice boxes to see which we preferred. I personally liked Fruit Punch Burst the best, and so did my other half, because it had a sweeter taste than the others without being too sweet and tasted like real fruit punch not the fruit punch juice boxes they normally sell at the supermarket.

My daughter liked the Berrylicious Lemonade the best because she said it was like a light lemonade with a hint of berry which she said was really good.

The Orange Pineapple drink we tried later on and we all enjoyed it. For me personally, I would probably purchase the Orange Pineapple juice or the Fruit Punch Burst because I felt like the other drinks were a little too light in flavor for my taste. I was impressed with how much my family enjoyed them and how healthy the drinks are. I’m glad I was sent these drinks because I would never have bought a Fruit Punch flavored anything on my own because my experience with it has been super sugary not pleasant juices and now Fruit Punch is my go to flavor in the Apple and Eve Quenchers.

I definitely think that Apple & Eve Juices are a great healthy alternative to regular juice boxes. I always gravitate towards organic and natural foods/drinks and this will definitely be one of the items I purchase from now on especially considering that my daughter keeps mentioning wanting the drinks lol.

These were sent to me for me to try them out. They were complimentary. I chose to review them because I enjoyed them and thought you would too. My reviews are always honest and the opinions are always mine. :)

My Thoughts on Graze Subscription Box


IMG_8581

As a mommy to a 8 month old little guy, I am always on the look out for healthy easy snacks to take with me on the go. When you have a little one, you don’t have much time to yourself or to make something healthy and satisfying. I saw an ad for Graze online and decided to check it out.

Graze is a monthly subscription with the ability to cancel at any time. Graze has a variety of snacks which do Not contain GMOs, No artificial colors/flavors, No high fructose corn syrup, No trans fats. This definitely peaked my interest. Looking at all of the snacks made me feel like I would be receiving delicious healthy snacks that I wouldn’t feel guilty about eating. Each snack is picked by Graze for you based on how you rate the snacks you receive. This subscription isn’t a good fit for someone with nut allergies because from what I saw several of their snacks contain nuts and I believe they are all packaged in the same place. If you have any allergies, I would suggest checking their site before ordering.

They have a few options of packages to choose from: Each 4 snack variety box costs just $6.99, including delivery; Each 8 snack variety box costs just $11.99 including delivery; Each sharing box, containing 5 sharing bags (about 20 servings), costs $25, including delivery.

I received a 4 snack variety box to test out. My box contained a Deconstructed Carrot Cake; Caramel Apple slices; NY Everything Bagel sticks; and Twist of Black Pepper Popcorn.

The deconstructed carrot cake contains carrot chews, cinnamon flavored raisins, walnuts, and ginger fudge. I loved this snack. It tasted exactly like a carrot cake when you combined all of the components. It was such a fun snack to try with my family.

The caramel apple snack was a dipper snack with caramel sauce and dried granny smith apple slices. This definitely tasted like a caramel apple. My little guy loved sucking on the apple slice pieces. I had to share it with him :)

The NY everything bagel sticks are poppy seed onion sesame sticks. Those were my favorite. They are crunchy and taste like an everything bagel. Love them!

The twist of black pepper popcorn was really good. It was popcorn with black pepper and it tasted slightly spicy because of the pepper. I was surprised to like it, but I actually like it better than traditional popcorn.

I have to say I really loved the snacks that Graze picked out for me to try. They are all delicious and satisfying. They are a good single serve size for a snack. I liked having them in my diaper bag for when I was out and about and got hungry.  I loved the packaging and quality. Such a fun box. I would definitely recommend Graze to anyone looking for a healthy tasty snack delivered right to your door. Keep in mind these snacks are single serve sizes. I would like to thank Graze for sending these samples to me for me to try out. I loved them!

If you have a subscription box that you are loving please let me know in the comments down below. XO :)
