Healthy Home Magazine and EcoMom Alliance are having a blast this summer, hosting the 2012 Go Green Get Fit Challenge, along with 30 of our favorite green bloggers, and presented by PlanetShoes.com. We’re excited to have so many wonderfully eco-friendly brands as sponsors for this event and wanted to give you a chance to try them for yourself, too!
Sponsor Spotlight: Naturebox
NatureBox is a fun new healthy snack subscription service that helps you eat healthier without needing to make huge changes your eating habits.
They focus on snacks because that’s the easiest area to affect change. Do you know that the average American consumes almost 25% of their calories from snacking? In fact, snacking is the leading cause of childhood obesity! NatureBox helps you get more out of your day without wasting calories on the bad stuff.
Every NatureBox item is carefully sourced, nutritionist approved, made from the most wholesome ingredients and minimally processed, if at all. They are also working closely with their supply chain to increase the number of certified organic and non-GMO snack options available.
So, what do you get? For $19.95 per month (including Free Shipping) you’ll receive 15-20 servings of healthy snack foods across 4-6 different products. The snacks change each month, but NatureBox is working on a way to make favorites available for re-purchase, too. Yay!
NatureBox has generously supplied some of our Go Green Get Fit Bloggers with healthy snacks to fuel their fitness this summer and so far, they’re pretty darned impressed by the quality, value and selection NatureBox provides! Here is a summary of what our bloggers thought about the June NatureBox. Every month’s box is different, so their reviews represent a sampling of the types of snacks you might find in any month’s box.
The Crunchy Wife, Jenny, says “I Love NatureBox. I mean, love. At first, I wasn’t sure about the concept, but it was so fun to open the box and find five generously sized bags of healthy snacks. And we’re not talking nasty stuff that tastes like dog food…we’re talking some YUMMY food here. My Dad even tried the granola and told me that I just had to write up a good review because it was that yummy. And at just $19.95/month (plus free shipping!), I’m considering subscribing to the service. I swear it’s cheaper than if I were to buy five similar items at my local health food store.”
According to Laura of Pug in the Kitchen, “As I sat here thinking about about the nutrition, simplicity and responsibility behind this program, it occurred to me that this is something that would be great for college students, care packages to family in another state, students on mission trips and our military (NatureBox offers shipping to FPO/APO addresses!!).”
Mindfully Frugal Mom Sarah’s favorite snacks “were the Sun-ripened peaches. Even though they were dried, they tasted so fresh and sweet. Plus, since the snacks are carefully selected with the help of a nutritionist, they were perfect for giving me energy to fuel my workout without bothering my stomach.”

My favorite snack is nuts!
My favorite healthy snack would be dried bananas. NOT from the store mind you those are very unflavorful and hard. I dry them in our dehydrator and they are so much better tasting than any I have tried from a package.
