office munchies
Like most people, I love snacking at my desk so when my friend told me about graze.com I couldn't wait to give them a try. Basically, www.graze.com describes its product as "healthy eating by post" and delivers nutritionally balanced snack boxes, personalised to your tastes, directly to your office.
Not only do I think this is a great idea, their website is pretty good too. Once you've registered you can browse through all different snacks it has to offer including fresh fruit, olives, seeds, nuts and flapjacks and then request to try or rate snacks so they know what to send in your next box. The 'natural treats' section is my idea of heaven!
Now, this is the science part, so concentrate! All the snacks have been chosen to ensure you have a good level of energy throughout the working day by keeping your blood sugar levels steady and avoiding sudden sugar highs then lows. They also help you lose or maintain weight (as you stop nipping out for a chocolate bar), boosts immunity and keep your diet varied and balanced - brilliant!
My first box came this morning and I was impressed; all the packaging was recycled and the leaflet inside the box had personalised messages suited to me and gave all the nutritional content for the snacks that'd been sent. The portions were reasonably sized and just enough to stop you over eating.
Think about it, I might just need to order another box right now...
