Many of them started off as items that companies sent me to review. Some of these I use daily, absolutely love, and continue to recommend. Doing product reviews led me to finding my standby face sunscreen, Frans&#8217; trusty coffee maker, my daughter\u2019s favorite snack mix, and Speckles can\u2019t-live-without food and water bowl. I don&#8217;t do many product reviews these days but BabbleBoxx piqued my interest.<\/p>\n<h3>BabbleBoxx &#8220;Food Fixes for Back to School&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>BabbleBoxx is an <a href=\"http:\/\/babbleboxx.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">influencer sampling program<\/a>. Those who have a voice in the online space can sign up to try a wide range of beauty, food, fitness, and other products. Then, you only have to share your thoughts on the items via blog, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, etc. This month the theme is \u201cFood Fixes for Back to School.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I was pretty excited to see what would be in this back to school snack box. It\u2019s been awhile since we\u2019ve tried anything new. And, I have to admit, our usual fare has been getting pretty boring. You can see what was in our box by checking out the above photo. I&#8217;m sure you\u2019d like to take a closer look at what we received, though. Also, I was so happy to see that everything (except for the Kahiki product) was marked as gluten-free. That meant Frans could be part of our family taste testing (he has celiac disease). Yay!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/popchips.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">popchips Ridges Cheddar Sour Cream Flavor<\/a> \u2014 Interesting flavor and texture. My taste buds get a bit confused since it seems like the chips would be overpowering but aren&#8217;t. Still, I can&#8217;t stop eating them once I start!<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/ilovepeanutbutter.com\/pages\/chocmeister\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Chocmeister Chocolatey Hazelnut Spread<\/a> \u2014 Slightly less sweet but more chocolate-y then the chocolate hazelnut spread you may be used to. Think of this as the semi-sweet chocolate version.<br \/>\nCurrent discount offer: LessSugarChoc for 20% off orders of $25 or more on <a href=\"http:\/\/ilovepeanutbutter.com\/pages\/chocmeister\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">ilovepeanutbutter.com<\/a>. Offer\u00a0is valid through September 30th.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/peeledsnacks.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Peeled Snacks Cheddar Peas Please<\/a> \u2014 These are great alternatives to those cheesy, super organge corn snacks. The flavor is on the salty side but not overwhelming. They also feel light and airy without being greasy.<br \/>\nCurrent discount offer: One time offer of 15% off total cart over $25 at <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.peeledsnacks.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/shop.peeledsnacks.com<\/a>, promo code BABBLE16.

Thanks to BabbleBoxx, I was able to try some new quick bites for back to school including popchips Ridges Cheddar Sour Cream Flavor, Chocmeister Chocolatey Hazelnut Spread, Peeled Snacks Cheddar Peas Please, Sabra Spreads with Hummus: Garlic Herb, Honey Mustard, and Sea Salt &amp; Cracked Pepper, Veetee Rice: Whole Grain &amp; Quinoa, Jasmine, Basmati &amp; Wild, and Rice Pilaf, Kahiki Frozen Chinese Food.

My family doesn&#8217;t usually like hummus but these were pretty good. I&#8217;ve never been a fan of mustard or pepper but the garlic herb is something I could see us eating this on chips, crackers, bread, etc.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veetee.com\/en-us\/where-to-buy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Veetee Rice<\/a>: Whole Grain &amp; Quinoa, Jasmine, Basmati &amp; Wild, and Rice Pilaf \u2014 A little on the dry side but, to have fresh cooked rice in only two minutes, you can&#8217;t really beat the time-saving aspect. Great pairing for whatever type of meal you&#8217;re planning for the afternoon or evening.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kahiki.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Kahiki<\/a> Frozen Chinese Food (to eat with the rice) \u2014 I couldn&#8217;t find these locally which is a total bummer (the store listed on the site didn&#8217;t carry them). I really, really want to try the Beef &amp; Broccoli too. \ud83d\ude41 I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;d consider these healthy but they are at least quick to make.<br \/>\nCurrent discount offer: Print a limited time Buy 1 Get 1 FREE coupon for our new Yum Yum Stix\u2122, Bowl &amp; Roll\u2122 entrees or Egg Rolls.

I\u2019m just not adventurous like that. Unless someone first suggests it to me, new items don\u2019t really get on my radar. However, thanks to this collection from BabbleBoxx, my family found some new yummies to snack on! So many healthy options too!<\/p>\n<h3>Which new items from this collection would you like to try?<\/h3>\n<p><em>This post is sponsored by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/babbleboxx.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">BabbleBoxx.com<\/a>\u00a0on behalf of Single Edition Media.
