June 2017 Fit Snack unboxing time!
If you’re new to them, Fit Snack is a snack subscription box that’s curated to include items that are both well balanced and nutrient dense. When selecting products to include in the box, they use the Fit Snack “Perfect 10″. Put simply, they look for snacks that fall into one or more of these categories: Nutrient Dense (high in protein, complex carbs, low sugar index), Consciously Made (GMO free, organic production, sustainably farmed), and Diversified Energy (gluten free, clean eating, paleo, raw).
Disclosure: I received this box for review purposes. I was not compensated in any way. All opinions are my own. Post may contain affiliate and/or referral links.
Each box will contain 6 to 9 healthy (yet satisfying) items that have total retail value of at least $30. While most of the items fall into the “snack” category, they also send cooking mixes, supplements, beverages, and more.
Subscriptions are $24/month (shipping included), or less with longer, multi-month commitments. It also looks like they ship worldwide. — For a limited time, you can save $3 on your first box! No coupon needed, just click this link.
Let’s see what’s in the June 2017 Fit Snack box!
The familiar white & turquoise box was shipped via Priority Mail.
A peek inside!
An info card listed all of the snacks, as well as accompanying photos, short descriptions, and a few discount codes.
Ellyndale Naturals Southwestern Barbeque Q Cup
I’ve been running low on lunch options this week, so I was happy to see this quinoa cup in the box. It’s made with a mix of organic quinoa, black beans, organic sweet corn, red bell peppers, and mesquite BBQ seasonings. Just add water, pop in the microwave for 60 seconds, let sit for 5 minutes, and enjoy.
Amsety Bars in Dark Chocolate
Amsety Bar is the first nutrition bar to help support liver health. It’s made with organic, non-GMO ingredients and contains no refined sugar, sodium, or gluten. It’s also dairy-free and vegan-friendly. Two dark chocolate flavored bars were included.
Fawen Drinkable Soup
A ready-to-drink soup made with gently cooked whole, organic vegetables and blended smooth with coconut milk. One bottle contains more than a full serving of vegetables with no added sweeteners or artificial preservatives. It’s gluten-free, non-GMO, and vegan-friendly. We actually received this same item (different flavor) in last month’s FitSnack, so I was kinda bummed to see it again so soon.
Nutiva Organic Hazelnut Spread in Classic
Organic hazelnut spread made with all natural, non-GMO ingredients. This contains 40% less sugar than the leading brand and is both vegan-friendly and gluten free. Thanks to the inclusion of flaxseed and chia seeds, the spread also has 450mg of plant-based omega-3 per serving.
Swish 4 Energy Mouth Rinse
A unique mouth rinse that freshens breath, enhances alertness, cools your mouth, and helps you maintain endurance all in one 30-second swish.
Rise Buddy Rice Snacks
A healthier alternative to regular potato chips, these Rise Buddy snacks are made with brown rice and are baked, not fried. They’re also gluten-free and contain no trans fats. (This is another item that was also included in last month’s box, but in a different flavor.)
MR Supps Whey Isolate
Two bonus packets of vanilla flavored whey isolate protein powder were also included. Each packet contains a whopping 24 grams of protein!
June’s Fit Snack was a little disappointing to me… Mainly because two of the items were basically repeats from last month’s box (though different flavor variations). The Nutiva was also featured in a recent box, and while I do like it, I’d prefer to see more new items. Hopefully July’s box will be a little more “fresh”. — Remember, for a limited time you can save $3 on your first box! No coupon needed, just click this link.
June 2017 Fit Snack Box Review
Summary
Not a horrible box, but Fit Snack definitely needs to step up their product variety. To be honest, I'd be quite content to never see Rise Buddy or Fawen in another subscription box again.
