My First SourcedBox by Marcus Butler and Niomi Smart! ♡ Impressions + Honest Review of the February Edition ♡

New year, new fitness goals! <3 This year, there are a few things which I would like to change. I have been really proud of myself for staying active and eating clean in 2015 but this year, my schedule at university has been crazy and I find myself snacking a lot more in between meals and classes. While munching on a muffin or chocolate chip cookie once in a while is totally fine, I find myself doing that way too often, especially with the limited choices of snacks my uni sells on campus.
When I saw that two of my favourite YouTubers Niomi Smart and Marcus Butler are launching their own business, SourcedBox – a monthly healthy food subscription box, I thought that would be a great way for me to try out new healthy snacks and to be able to snack in between classes in a healthy way! ♡

I signed up for the February box after reading and watching a couple reviews of the January box, which I was very impressed with, and after waiting impatiently for a couple of weeks, my first ever SourcedBox finally arrived on the first Saturday of February! <3 I had the urge to rip the box open then and there because I was soooo excited but I contained myself and took some nice photos before opening my box a little too enthusiastically 😛

As you can see, there is a “Menu” in the box telling you about all the items inside which is a really nice touch and is useful for those with certain dietary requirements 🙂 This month, the Cacao Balls written on the menu seem to have had some delivery problems so there is an extra note in the box saying that those will be delivered in next month’s box instead and in the meantime we get a replacement snack. I wasn’t really too bothered by this because I know every start-up business is still learning in the first stage of their new project and I am happy as long as I get my cacao balls next month! ♡

And here comes what’s inside the box! ♡

First off, the box is literally PACKED FULL. I don’t think they could have fitted any more things inside the box and I am really impressed by the amount of snacks I got 🙂

The following items are included in this February box ♡
1♡ Salted Caramel Nibbles from NAKD
2♡ Cacao Brownie from Squirrel Sisters
3♡ Original Granola from Dust Granola
4♡ Seaveg Crispies from Clearspring
5♡ Dino Paws from BEAR
6♡ Matcha Powder Super Green Tea from Teapigs
7♡ Salted Maple Popcorn from NOM
8♡ Essential Orange Chocolate Bar from Conscious Chocolate
9♡ Organic Blueberry Bar from Beond
10♡ Sea Salt & Cider Vinegar Roasters from Dilly & Wolf
11♡ Goji & Coconut Vegan Balls from The Protein Ball Co.

Personally for me, I wanted to get SourcedBox so that I can try out new healthy snacks which I have never heard of before. I also wanted something convenient every month in the sense that I can just take one of the snacks in the box to school with me if I know I will be having a long day so I won’t end up snacking on unhealthy food. SourcedBox definitely served that purpose well for me and I really like the box for that ♡ I am really happy and impressed that they stuffed the box full of goodies but I do wish that the box is a littleeee bit better for value. I should probably take into account that not all the snacks in the box can be purchased in stores easily and that IF the Cacao Balls were in fact delivered, they would probably have increased the value of the box 🙂

The verdict is – I think I am going to renew my subscription for at least another month or two as I have really enjoyed my first SourcedBox experience! 🙂 If I see a decrease in value for their boxes in the future, I might consider unsubscribing, but so far so good! I am really looking forward to next month’s box and please let me know if you have heard of SourcedBox and whether you are interested in trying it! ♡
