PRODUCT REVIEW: NOTOX SUPERFOOD SNACK BOX - JULY 2014

It has only been just over a week since the June box arrived, so imagine my surprise when the Notox Superfood Snack Box showed up yesterday. Here are my thoughts;  


 
 
What They Say:
If you're new to healthy living, want to find non-toxic products, or are overwhelmed by the choices available, this is the box for you!  We hand pick a range of the best natural, clean living products and pack them up in a surprise box for you to enjoy each month.   It has a little bit of everything!  

The box contains 5- 8 products including in a mix of full sized, travel and sample size products
All products are natural, organic, ecofriendly or ethical, organic food, health food or super-foods, natural and organic skincare and beauty products, wellness, eco home or healthy lifestyle products.

RRP: $28.95 per box – Available from Notox Box 

What I Say:
As always this month’s box arrived in a bright green postage box with a lot of ‘feel good’ little sentences on the lid, such as ‘Love what you do’, Stay healthy & happy’. ‘Dream big’, and ‘Define your own success’ and these are the goodies I found inside;

 


 
CrioBru Brewed Cocoa 100% Roasted & Ground Cocoa Beans – Full Size, 340g
 
 
 
When I first saw this pack I thought it was a pack of coffee, so being huge coffee drinkers I got quite excited, also as I saw that it is for use in a drip coffee maker. But after a second look at the pack I realised that it was in fact made from cocoa beans and not coffee beans. The beans brews like coffee and has flavour notes of green banana and blackberries, and are chock full of antioxidants and magnesium, to help boost your immune system and increase your energy (which I desperately need), and support your heart, brain and bones. It also contains chromium and zinc to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels (maybe it will actually help stop my afternoon sugar cravings). One cup contains just 10 calories, and absolutely no sugar or fat. I don’t think I would have picked this up in the shop myself, but I am quite excited to try it out.

 
Peeled Snacks Apple Clusters – Full Size, 18g
 
 

These are bite-sized organic apple pieces and berries rolled in clusters, and just the type of snack that I love. They give you a full serving of fruit, yet with no refined sugar, no fat, and no preservatives. I can’t wait to taste these..

 
Brookfarm Muesli Bar baked with macadamias and cranberries – Full Size, 35g
 
 

This muesli bar is made from all natural ingredients including whole grains, dried fruit, macadamias and seeds. I love muesli bars and always find it handy to have one in my handbag (or should I say nappy bag) for those days where I’ve been up extremely early to feed our little boy that I feel like I need a second serve of breakfast before lunch. And I love macadamias so I already know that I’ll love this bar.

 
Coconut Magic Pure Organic Virgin Coconut Oil – Sample Size, 20ml





I think I may be a touch behind the times, but I have actually never tried coconut oil. Not really sure why as it is said to be extremely healthy for you. I think it may be because I don’t really like the smell of coconut (oh why does it always seem to be used in sunscreen lotions!). This certified organic, unrefined, and cold pressed raw coconut oil can supposedly be eaten straight out of the jar, or of course be used for cooking, but can also be used as a lip balm or body moisturiser. A true multi-tasking product.

 
Wallaby Superfoodie Breakfast & Nut Slice – Full Size, 48g





Another breakfast bar which will come in handy when I’ve got the cravings and feeling a little tired (may just be a little later today with my little boy deciding to wake up at 4.30pm, and unable to get him back to sleep!). It is made from raw ingredients including almond, cashews, raspberries and apples – sounds so delicious. YUM.

 
COCOLA Premium Organic Fairtrade Milk Chocolate – Full Size, 100g




YAY. A block of chocolate. How could you not love this. I admit that I prefer dark chocolate, but a good block of milk chocolate will never go astray in our house. And this block is made from 100% organic ingredients so it is pure and chemical free, and doesn’t contain any preservatives either. And as a bonus it is Fairtrade product, ensuring that all cocoa growers have been looked after in producing the cocoa beans. This chocolate bar won’t survive long in our house, especially seeing I won’t be able to hide this one from my husband.

 
So there you have it, the contents in the July Superfood Snack Notox box.

I love the idea behind this superfood snack box that contains a variety of chocolate, cocoa beans, and snack bars, and hence it is quite different from standard Notox Box, which also contained some food products and other lifestyle and household products. I always snack during the day, especially when I am running low on energy, which seems to be all the time these days, so I love to be introduced to new and healthier options, and yet again, Notox Box has managed to introduce me to some new brands and products that I would otherwise probably not come across, and I am quite excited to try out every single product. As soon as I’ve got some photos taken of all the products, I’m digging in….

  1. Hi,
    I have heard of Notox box; however, I haven't tried it yet. I know they are all natural and healthy items; which is fantastic; however, do you think it is value for money?
    Kind regards
    Aimee :)

    1. I guess it is a little pricey, but on the other hand, natural and healthier options generally do tend to be more expensive too - sad isn't it, that say a Mars or Snickers bar is so much cheaper than a healthy muesli bar, or even an apple or banana!
