April 2016 GREAT Kids Snack Box

I discovered GREAT Kids Snacks while late-night perusing on Instagram and knew this was a box I absolutely needed to try out with my son. Little G loves his afternoon snack after school every day but after Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Easter, we now have a ton of sugary snacks at the house that Jonathan and I call “special treats.” Little G has been trying desperately to replace his healthy fruits and cracker snacks with these special treats (chocolate, gummy bears, PEZ candies, skittles, etc.). We don’t mind giving him a special treat now and then but never want him to expect a special treat for his after school snack…

GREAT Kids Snacks a subscription box that provides 30 individually-wrapped all natural and organic snack options for kids every month. The boxes can even be addressed to your child so they receive their own bit of mail once a month! (Little G is a little young to get jazzed about that yet.) Probably one of the coolest features for me is that you can purchase any of the snacks included in each month’s box directly from the GREAT Kids Snacks website! How cool is that?

The Cost:  $39.95 per month (auto-renew)

First peek and we saw two pretty good size bags of snacks on top. The box felt pretty heavy and we couldn’t wait to see what else was inside!

There were SO many snacks inside that I couldn’t get a full picture of all the snacks laid out! We received goodies ranging from seaweed crisps to a jerky stick to fruit snacks and everything in between. Holy snack box!!!

As if the snacks weren’t enough, we also received some extras from featured companies; we got coupons from Honey Stinger & Santa Barbara bar, an information sheet on WOWBUTTER and a sticker from OneBar!

First day with the April 2016 GREAT Kids Snack Box and I let Little G pick out his first after-school snack. He chose the apple OneBar (a fine choice).

Obviously my son doesn’t have a problem taking big bites! (Notice Beijing in the background, sad that he is eating something compact and portable… small likelihood of him dropping anything for her to eat…)

So I asked Little G if he liked his OneBar… he looked at me as I snapped this picture, then shoved the other half of the snack in his mouth and walked away without saying a word.

I’ll take that as a ‘yes’. 

Little G came home again wanting a “special treat”… so frustrating. Instead, I presented him with his subscription box of yums. He very carefully opened the box and looked at almost every snack before making his final selection.

He could not believe that there were yummy gummies in the box! Yay!

He chose the SmartCandy gummy candy. They look a lot like Dots to me, MINUS the high fructose corn syrup and are instead made with natural flavors and colors! Another benefit is that there were only a small handful of candies in the package. It’s a win for everyone!

We skipped a few days of snacking with the GREAT Kids Snack Box since we had some fresh fruit available in the fridge. Of course, next time he grabs a snack, Little G goes for the sweet over the savory! (He is totally Jonathan’s kid.)

Little G really enjoyed his WOW Chocolate Chip Cookie. I asked him to hold up the package for a picture, but he had already ripped the cookie from its wrapper and was on his third bite by the time I snapped a pic. Either way, this is as healthy of a cookie as Little G could ever eat and he was none the wiser! Huge thumbs up for this nom!

In this instance, Little G actually asked for his “GREAT box” when he came home! (How sweet!)

No surprise here, Little G chose another gummy snack. He just can’t help himself, but at least these YumEarth Organics gummy bears are made with real fruit juice!!

And just look at that intensity. Those must be really good.

SO… before you think that this box is filled with a ton of sweets, I wanted to give you some snapshots of the full variety you can expect to find in this subscription (instead of just the sweets that Little G has picked out). Here are just some of the items we received this month:

Our Thoughts

I am FLOORED by the GREAT Kids Snack Box! Little G absolutely loved getting his own subscription box and we managed to successfully distract him from his “special treats” by having him select a different nutritious snack from the GREAT Kids Snack Box each day.

I love that I don’t have to purchase full-size packages of different snacks for Little G to try out… it becomes incredibly expensive and there’s always a huge risk as to whether or not he will eat what I’ve chosen! At $39.95 per month, Little G received a daily afternoon snack for around $1.33 each. This is such an extremely great value for getting a wide variety of individually-wrapped all natural, organic snacks delivered to the door. We are looking forward to receiving our next box in a few days! I highly recommend trying out this box with your kiddos.
