Snacking With Graze Boxes

By -

Graze boxes have been a huge help for me eating well.  I mentioned it offhand in my post about judging hunger and intermittent fasting but I wanted to give it some more focus.

I've always been bad at snacking healthy.  I have a tendency to eat whatever is out on the counter or easily visible while looking around my kitchen.  This has always led to me eating a lot of candy and processed food.  I've also never tried to portion control snacks, I would just eat a bunch.

Then my friend BJ Keeton told me about the wonders of Graze boxes.  Graze is essentially a subscription snacking service.  They have over 100 snacks and each one is self-contained and pre-portioned in a little container they call a punnent.   I've completely switched over to Graze punnets for snacking and it's made it much easier for me to eat healthy.

One of the really cool parts of Graze is that the snacks are relatively healthy but they aren't super healthy crazy super foods.  It's not the disgusting "health food" that is often shoved down your throat in advertisements.  They have things like Smores, Strawberry Shortcake, Cocoa and Vanilla Bars, and Banana Dippers with Caramel.  Those are some of my favorite snacks.  I, obviously, have a sweet tooth but they also have tons of savory snacks as well.  Seriously, go browse their snacks and see for yourself.

I would highly recommend Graze to anyone.  Both my wife and I have been using it for a few months now and we love it.  It's such a great service and it's actually affordable when you think about it in terms of replacing your current snacking budget.

If you go check it out and use one of my links in this post you should be able to get your first trial box for free (and your fifth as well if you subscribe).

Happy snacking!

    This is such a good idea! Unfortunately, not available in Canada though. I'll have to see if I can find something similar.

      I didn't realize it wasn't in Canada. That sucks. It seems like they keep expanding their business, so maybe soon! I know they're in the UK as well as the US right now.

    Sounds like a great service, and for only $6.99 for 4 snacks seems pretty reasonable. We have a fridge at our work and I just bring in a bunch of apples, oranges and cottage cheese along with other things so it's not to hard for me to keep snacking healthy. Thanks for the tip, I'll have to try them out!

      It's a great service, I love it. And they'll ship right to your office if you want too, which is a nice feature.

Latest Board Gaming

Besides video games I also regularly play board games when I'm hanging out with people face to face.  My brother, my wife, and I end up playing a lot of 3 player board games, but sometimes we get other players involved too. I realized I haven't talked much about what I've been playing in the world of board games, so here goes: Ticket to Ride - We own 3 different base versions of Ticket to Ride, 2 expansion sets, and an extra map set.  We love this game.  This is the game that gets the most overall table time when I'm playing board games with friends.  It's super accessible but still holds fun for people who have been playing the game for a long time.  I recommend this as a great beginner board game for anyone. Masquerade - A hidden role game where roles are constantly switching hands.  You're limited in actions on your turn and can only take one action.  This means that a lot of the time you're not entirely sure what role you currently have.

S2E22 - E3 2017 - “Who doesn’t want to be a dinosaur?!”

E3 Hype! E3 2017. Not comprehensive. Not VGNN.  Only talking about things we think are interesting enough to talk about.  You have video game news sites for the rest :) We’re talking about Press Conferences, if more news comes out throughout the rest of the week it won’t be here because we’re recording on Tuesday night! http://e3recap.com/ has been my friend Overall trends Esports being forced onto games that aren’t even out yet “Influencers” being put front and center BJ: torn on the current “influencer” boom. Feels like a bubble that’s totally disingenuous Shorter press conferences with less big game announcements Really hard to tell what is actually exclusive Microsoft “Console Launch Exclusive” Most of these press conferences would have been better pre-recorded as just a series of trailers instead of having a stage show, honestly. Updates on games we already knew existed.  This is what we get for so many years of announcing games way ahead

Games of the Year 2022: In Conclusion

By -
This running Games of the Year list has been an interesting experiment.  I decided to start this series right as we were shutting down the Geek to Geek podcast as a way to keep creatively broadcasting some gaming thoughts out into the world.  I learned a few things from sticking with it this year. The main thing I learned is... I just don't have as much desire to broadcast my thoughts out in public as I used to when I started this blog or when I started podcasting.  I still love to have in-depth discussions about current games and general geekery, but I feel less and less need to broadcast those thoughts widely.  Honestly, it's been over a decade of blogging and podcasting at this point.  It would be more surprising if my relationship with the media landscape hadn't  changed. Around mid-year I started trying to use Twitter as more of a microblogging platform to do very short quick-hit thoughts about games but didn't get much traction or conversation going which was wha
