I was recently sent a fun box full of healthy goodies from Bestowed.

Bestowed is a healthy food subscription box company that sends subscribers 5-7 food items, snacks or beverages each month.  I love the concept and think it’s so fun to receive “healthy surprises” in the mail!  I also love that I can try several healthy products and decide if I like them or not before I buy more.  Awesome.

This is the box I received…

And here’s what was inside!

So fun!  It also included a pamphlet explaining what’s in the box, why they picked it and how to enjoy it!  It was very helpful (click the image to enlarge it.)

Here’s a list of the things I received…

• Balance Bar Dark Chocolate Coconut
• Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts
• Artisana Acai Berry Nut Butter
• Seasnax Roasted Seaweed
• California Olive Ranch Olive Oil
• A coupon for Dr. Praegar’s California Veggie Burgers
• Way Better Snacks Sweet Chili Tortilla Chips

I was really excited to see some of these products in my box because I’ve really wanted to try them.

This Balance Bar was excellent!  I’m a huge fan of chocolate and coconut so I really loved this bar.

I’ve been wanting to try hemp hearts for a long time, but didn’t want to buy a big bag of them in case I didn’t like them.  I was thrilled to see this bag in my Bestowed box, AND I’m happy to say I really LOVE hemp hearts now.

I thought they would be similar to chia or flax seeds, but they are totally different.  They are light, crunchy and yummy.  I mixed them into some plain Greek yogurt with honey and it was so good.  Hemp hearts are also good on salads, yogurt or in smoothies and shakes.

This Acai Berry butter was really good, but tasted completely different than I thought it would!  It tasted more fruity and not like nut butter at all.  I really liked it on these apples, but it also tasted great all by itself.

I’ve seen seaweed snacks all over the place and have really wanted to try them.  These looked so cool and were paper thin.  They only have 16 calories in the whole pack too!

However, I discovered I AM NOT a fan of seaweed…..at all.   Ewww.  They tasted and smelled like fish and I am not a fish lover.  But, I’m sure all the fish lovers out there would love these snacks!

These chips are awesome!  They are tasty, spicy, salty and full of flavor!  I really loved them dipped in guacamole too.  I will definitely be buying these again.

I haven’t tried the olive oil or the Dr. Praeger’s Veggie Burgers yet, but I’m looking forward to it!

Overall, I was very pleased with my box.  I loved everything except the Seasnax.  BUT, I’m really glad I got to try it because now I know not to buy it!

Bestowed sent me a complimentary box, but the opinions expressed are entirely my own.
