Earlybird Review
I’d like to first start this review off by giving a shoutout to my postman who posted this snack box (which contained edible food) in my dustbin. Yes, ladies and gentleman you did read that right, he posted it in my dustbin, that was full of rubbish, because I was not in and it didn’t fit through the door. So my snack box did have a slight whiff of old food and garbage, but I soldiered on and risked dying of some horrible dustbin contracted disease as a result of it.
Anyway, Earlybird were kind enough to supply me with a taste box containing 5 of their tasty snacks and two teas. The box is beautifully packaged and seemed to survive its ordeal through the UK postal system including silly postmen! Earlybird believe that art creates a new snacking environment which will help ease your mind and make your break more peaceful. Each of their tasteboxes contain a beautiful design on the inside created by up and coming artists. You can review some of the artists on their website at EB Gallery, and they are always looking for new designs.
As well as providing you with beautiful art, Earlybird also send you a ticket containing links to artist tour dates or even free downloads! Although this currently isn’t available they are looking for new artists so again get involved!
Earlybird selected the snacks for me and included a selection of fruits and nuts. Earlybird have developed the concept of sending 5 tasty snacks so that you have one for each day of the working week. Each of the snacks is measured perfectly to keep your calorie intake controlled and act as a boost to keep cravings at ease every day of the week. The snacks are made and created by Earlybird, and they are always looking for new ideas as well as reviews on yours snacks, so they can improve both your experience for your next box as well as everyone else.
So Earlybird sent me:
Amuesli Sprinkle
This is a Swiss-inspired muesli made up of oats and plenty of juicy fruits, nuts and seeds. This snack contains no added sugars and is suitable for vegans. If I’m quite honest I’m not actually a fan of muesli so I gave this one to my mum to add to her Greek yoghurt and blueberries and she said that it was very nice. (great review I know)
Snockers
This is Earlybird’s healthy take on a Snickers bar and I highly recommend this one to you! The snack is flaked peanuts mixed with caramel fudge, milk chocolate and chopped dates. This was literally the best snack I had because not only was it a healthy take on a popular chocolate bar but it actually tasted amazing!
Milky Berry Shot
This snack contains cranberries mixed with blackcurrants and white chocolate. To get the full effect from this snack eat it all mixed together rather than picking pieces out, because it’s truly yummy when you do eat it this way.
Sweet Cherry Soul
This snack was not my favourite, it contained juicy cherries soaked in apple juice, caramelised pumpkin seeds, roasted hazelnuts and sweet cranberries. The cherries were far to sour and needed something sweeter to balance the taste out. Sorry Earlybird but this one was not my favourite :(
Sweet Red Pepper
I enjoyed this snack, mainly because I’m a massive fan of nuts! This snack is honey red pepper cashew nuts and sunflower seeds with flame raisins and roasted and salted edamame beans. This snack is great because it is both sweet and savoury but spicy at the same time. It’s also got a pretty good kick to it with the spice!
English Breakfast Tea
Nothing beats a good ol’ cup of English tea! Not really a lot I can say about this one other than I’m a massive lover of traditional tea so this one went down a treat! Also I love the tea bag itself as it was made from an organza style material.
Mint Lime Tea
This is definitely an unusual combination, but I think it definitely works! The tea contains Peppermint, spearmint, lime leaves, lemongrass, safflower petals. I boiled it for 3 minutes and did not add any milk and I think it was such a soothing and refreshing brew, especially as I’m not usually a fan of flavoured teas.
Once again thank you to Earlybird for providing me with this box, and if you would like to give on a go for FREE then try out my share code indie-4009 and you can try one out yourself!
