NatureBox Promo Code

Just as I was starting to wonder why Daisy gets to sample all the good stuff around here, my September NatureBox arrived! If you haven’t heard about NatureBox, it’s a monthly mystery box subscription of HEALTHY snacks and treats for people.

Each month, the box includes 15 to 20 servings across 4 to 6 different NatureBox snacks. Products  are made from wholesome, natural ingredients, and are minimally processed, if at all. They use NO High Fructose Corn Syrup, contain NO Trans Fats and NO Partially Hydrogenated Oils…all the stuff we are supposed to avoid to stay healthy!

Every month’s box is designed around a different theme. This month is “Health Myth Busters”. The insert that comes with the box helps bust common health misconceptions about fat, sugar and carbs. I LOVE that they figured out how to combine helpful nutritional information with yummy snack food! My September box included:

  • Pistachio Power Clusters
  • Umami Roasted Nuts
  • Big Island Pineapple Slices
  • Apple Orchards Granola
  • Toasted Sesame Stix

They were ALL amazing with the Pistachio Clusters being my absolute favorite…wish I could order more of THOSE!

The cool card that comes with each box also includes info about the ingredients as well as a new recipe to try and ALL the ways to connect with NatureBox on social media! You can visit NatureBox on Facebook if you’d like to see photos of previous boxes.

In addition to feeling good about these healthy snacks, I also love that for every NatureBox sent out, they donate one meal to help feed the over 14 million children in America who go hungry every year through their partnership with Feeding America.

Sorry, Daisy! THESE treats are for people!!!

In addition to a fun, guilt-free way to schedule some snacks and treats for yourself and family, NatureBox also makes a fantastic gift idea. Because you know that each month, the ingredients will be healthy, and the theme will be yummy and unique, it’s one gift you can really feel good about sending AND that your recipient will be thrilled to receive!

The regular price is really good too, for all the delicious, high-quality treats you get at $19.95/month including free shipping.

But of course I’ve dug up a discount for you, because that’s what I do! Just make sure to use NatureBox Promo Code SPECIAL25 when you order to Save $5 OFF your first box!

Just signup at NatureBox before the 5th of the month to receive that month’s box! You can cancel or pause anytime and they promise a 100% refund if you aren’t happy with your box…but I can’t even imagine that happening now that I’ve received mine!

Will Work for Green Beans: ‘High-Value’ Treats Don’t Have to be High-Priced

Daisy crazy for green beans

We love cookies and treats around here, and although we indulge from time to time,  most are too high in calories and a bit too pricey to be used in large quantity as every day training treats.

Since we use positive reinforcement for training Daisy, it’s important to have something on hand that she really loves and will work for (professional trainers call this a “high-value treat”) but that is also healthy, low in calories and won’t break the bank.

For some dogs this is cheerios, for others it’s small bits of cheese, but for Daisy it’s green beans. At some point I started to notice that we could get Daisy to do just about anything for a bite of green bean. In fact, she “sits” without being told, at the mere site of them! We are big believers in the “Nothing in Life is Free” concept when it comes to pets, training and treats so she learned quickly that in order to get a treat, she needs to DO something good or interesting.

The only downside is that cooked beans are a bit too messy to keep in my pocket when we are out and about, so we stick to tiny bits of freeze-fried beef liver treats that can be purchased in bulk and broken or cut into smaller pieces, when on the go to reward good behavior…but at home, I always keep an extra container full of steamed, plain green beans in the fridge just for Daisy! I’ve also tricked her into believing that getting her teeth brushed is a reward but more about that later! Just wanted to share this quick money saving tip while I was thinking about it!

Other low-cost treats that Daisy loves include frozen banana slices, boiled bits of sweet potato, watermelon cubes and this dog treat recipe I made up for Frozen Brown Rice Crunchies! Leave a comment and let us know what food or treat your dog will work hardest to get!
