Graze is a mini-snack subscription box that sends a customized selection of treats weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.
Graze offers over 100 different snacks that you can rate online, which, over time, helps tailor your subscription to your particular snacking preferences. Some subscribers spend time choosing preferences, noting which options they want to try, think they would like, or "trash" and prefer not to receive. Each Graze box may look completely different!
For subscribers with food sensitivities, it’s easy to "trash" snacks that contain gluten, dairy, or any other specific ingredient; however, Graze snacks are produced in a facility with nuts, wheat, milk, and many other foods that might not make this subscription a good fit for anyone with severe food allergies.
Boxes are shipped via USPS and are conveniently designed to fit in most standard mailboxes.
My Subscription Addiction pays for this subscription. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes.)

Graze includes this handy pamphlet that lists all of the nutritional values for the month's snacks. They also outline their "benefits" program, which lets you nab snacks at a discount.
Before we dive in, just a quick note that in the out-of-container photos of the snacks, I only included a small handful so you can see the individual pieces included more easily. I wanted to include this disclaimer so folks don't think there's only one small handful included of each snack!
Soy Roasted Pumpkin and Sunflower Seeds, 1.2 oz (Buy 1 bag for $4.99)
While my sweet tooth is absolutely undeniable, I'm more of a savory kind of gal when it comes to snacks. So, I started with something simple and salty: seeds roasted in soy sauce. This little snack did not let me down! These seeds managed to be super flavorful without being overwhelmingly get-me-a-glass-of-water-right-this-second salty. Since seeds are small and don't require a ton of chewing, this snack went down easily and I quickly made my decision to vote "yes" to receiving this one again.
Pizza Margherita, 0.8 oz (Buy a 3.8 oz. sharing bag for $3.99 or pack of 6 for $8.99)
Sticking with the savory theme, I moved on to this mix of mini tomato bread sticks, basil crunchinis, and cheese-flavored cashews. Holy yum! This tasted remarkably like pizza, I think mainly thanks to the basil crunchinis. They tasted like tiny, bready, crunchy (hence "crunchini") crackers and were oh-so-delicious. The breadsticks reminded me of a thinner version of what you'd find in Chex Mix, and the tomato-flavored powder coating them was subtle and tasty. As for the cheese-dust-coated cashews? I mean, really, how can you go wrong? I was totally into this snack.
Cacao and Orange with Dates and Raw Almonds, 1.5 oz (Buy a pack of 6 for $8.99)
I'm not a huge dried fruit fan, but I've been getting into dates lately because they're a good natural sweetener, so I was curious about this snack. I found the dried orange strips to be kind of like gummy candies, while the dried dates were just that: dried dates cut into small pieces. They made for a good sweet team that didn't feel overly decadent, and the almonds balanced out the flavor well, preventing it from being too sweet. The part I was most excited for in this trail mix was the promise of cacao, but as I poked around, I couldn't find any! I even asked my husband if he detected any cacao in the handful he ate, and he guessed that maybe the almonds were lightly dusted in it? I didn't sense that, but I took his word for it.
Salted Fudge and Peanut Cookie, 1.5 oz (Buy a 5.2 oz. sharing bag for $3.99 or pack of 6 for $8.99)
Am I allowed to say, "Holy yum," again? This was hands down my favorite snack of the box! The peanuts were coated in the perfect (very light!) amount of salting. The cookies were delightfully crunchy and chocolatey, and I liked that they were small enough in size that they didn't all group together—you could grab a handful of this mix and trust that you'd get a little of everything. The tiny little peanut butter fudge bits were delightfully chewy, but not so much that they got stuck in my teeth. This is, like, the perfect snack in my book.
Jelly Doughnut, 1.1 oz (Buy a pack of 6 for $8.99)
As someone who can never turn down a donut, I was pretty amped to see what Jelly Doughnut was all about. Obviously eating this mix wasn't the same as biting into the doughy goodness of a pastry, but the flavors stacked up! I particularly enjoyed the raspberry strings; their flavor was really rich and berry-like, and not too insanely sweet. They had sort of a natural flavor to them. Paired with the included craisins, they were really good. Then there were thinly sliced almonds and vanilla cookie drops for the crunchy parts. The almonds were pretty classic, but the cookies were rather unique! They had this light, almost meringue-y consistency to them. This snack wasn't in my top 3, but it was full of some nice surprises.
Sweet and Spicy Beet Crunch, 0.8 oz (Buy a pack of 6 for $8.99)
I must have opened this snack pack without reading the label because I expected a super sweet flavor and was absolutely delighted to find something more subtle and savory. In fact, this one could possibly be considered a little bland by some, but I quite enjoyed the subtlety because of how bold some of the other flavors in this box had been. The beet chips are simply dried, not fried nor baked, so while they weren't chewy like dried fruit, they also didn't have that snappy crunch that root veggie chips have. The dried chickpeas with jalepeno flavoring added a really unique flavor and slight spice to this mix, which kept me intrigued with every bite. The sunflower seeds were a nice familiar flavor that rounded this one out nicely.
Original Fruity Flapjack, 1.9 oz (Buy a pack of 6 for $8.99)
Graze was my first ever subscription, and I remember these fruity flapjacks arriving in my introductory box. I haven't received them since, so this was an awesome throwback! They're filled with dried fruits and seeds and have a faintly sweet flavor that sets them apart from other granola bars. They're soft and chewy and altogether wonderfully delicious.
Summer Berry Compote, 1.2 oz (Buy a pack of 6 for $8.99)
Okay, I have some serious heart eyes for this one! I don't know how this is possible, but this triple berry compote seriously tasted like I was eating it fresh out of a mason jar. Just so amazingly good! The wholegrain shortbread dippers were the perfect flavor match, too—they were just sweet enough to be a treat, but just savory enough to stay out of the way of the compote's flavor. Yum!
Verdict: I've always been a fan of Graze, my only complaint being that sometimes the snacks tasted too sweet and sugary. This box proved to me that they can offer sweet snacks with a nice balance of flavors and healthy ingredients so that they don't feel like snacking on decadent desserts. The savory snacks were all really original and satisfying, too, which was fun to explore. This box included 8 snacks for $13.99, which breaks down to $1.75 each. I'm ok with the value because of how unique the snacks are, and because even in a box full of surprise treats, I know I'll enjoy all of them.
