Staying Healthy With Munch Better | My Favourites

Munch Better | Monthly Snacks + Inspiration Right To Your Door!

We’ve been working hard over here lately, to really be conscious about the types of food that we’re bringing into our fridge + pantry. While we aren’t quite ready to give up gluten just yet (I love my rice + pasta a little too much), what I am paying attention to is sugar content, organic ingredients and free of GMO’s, trans fats, etc.

Basically, more whole foods and less packaged foods. But what happens when you feel like a snack? Which for anyone who sits at a desk all day knows, is like pretty much every hour of your work day. I’m the worst, I know it. I was originally drawn to Munch Better due to their dedication to providing healthy snack alternatives, while still being tasty enough to consider it a treat. Perfect.

Health food aisles (as well as health food stores in general) have gotten so much better in the past few years about having healthy snack alternatives, although I’m never really sure which ones to try. Back when we used to order from SPUD on a weekly basis, they would often throw in extra goodies to our orders. I LOVED this because it gave me something new to try, without having to make any decisions. I only have so much energy for decisions these days, and I would hate to waste it on which organic-whole-grain-grass-fed-free-range cookie to eat (tee hee). Regardless, I always surprised myself with what I fell in love with.

So, it goes without saying that my favourite thing about Munch Better is that they work with brands they know + love. Brands they know are awesome. And then they send them to my door! I get great products, conveniently shipped, and ready to eat – without me having to make any decisions at all!

With your Munch Better Subscription, you get to discover 5-8 new snacks a month, which are carefully created by team of folks with backgrounds in nutrition, holistic living and natural digestion. They focus on snacks with whole-food ingredients, lower sugar content, and free of any artificial colours or flavours. Bonus points if the snacks also come from within Canada (since Munch Better is Canadian too)!

Boxes can be ordered in single quantities, or as part of the subscription model, which will renew each month. Office subscription boxes are also available for businesses looking to fuel their worker bees with a better kind of snack.

April’s Goodies Included:

Patience Fruit & Co – These dried cranberries put *that other company* to shame. I nearly ate the whole bag before I was done taking photos. Seriously. Go buy them and fall in love.

Sapsucker Maple Tree Water – This was so interesting to try! I would never have picked this up myself, but I’m so glad I got the change to try it. I would certainly purchase it again to drink on a hot summers day! You can read more about their story here.

From Farm to Table Ancient Grain Popcorn – I kept wanting to pour a ton of melted better on top of this snack. Old habits die hard – good thing this snack was still good without the butter!

Sha Sha Organic Lemon Snacks & Ginger Cookies – One of my favourite snacks from the whole box! They tasted great, were the perfect mid-afternoon snack and came in fun heart shapes.

Peeled Snacks Organic Peas Please – I loved the texture of these, they reminded me a more natural veggie/skinny stick snack! I would love to try other flavours in these, like sea salt or garlic.
