Hello, lovely readers and fellow foodies. Devin here! It has been a while since Raf posted on the website but it’s all for a great reason and Raf will write on his own about all of that soon but the site makes its grand return with something completely new and different from Between Two Forks. Not only will the website be a home to recipes and food photography, but it will now include product reviews! The very first of its kind on the website is an unboxing of the delicious snack box, Paleo by Maileo.
I would like to give a huge thank you to Paleo by Maileo for sending us a box for us to try and unbox and show you. Paleo by Maileo is a completely grain-free, dairy-free, additive-free and refined sugar-free snack box that packs in 5-8 paleo food items (sometimes, a self-care product) chock full of healthy ingredients like nuts, dried fruit or jerky! The snacks are also great for those that follow a gluten-free diet, have Celiac’s Disease or just want to start a healthier lifestyle. So, what are we waiting for? Let’s dig in!
Paleo By Maileo Goodies:
First out of the box is a full size bag of Crunchies
Next out of the box is a very tasty looking cherry vanilla Share Bar
What is the best food to deal with holiday stress or any kind of stress? Chocolate, duh. I know you were thinking about the brewsky but not for this article. In this instance, Paleo by Maileo has your back. Included in this box was a bar of Wilde 70% cacao coconut nectar crunch chocolate. The bar is proud to announce that it is made with just 5 ingredients: raw organic cacao, organic coconut sugar, raw organic cacao butter, Himalayan sea salt and raw organic vanilla bean. Raf is a complete chocolate snob so this may be the item in the box that he’s most excited about. I doubt he’s going to share this one.
***Raf here, I finally had the chance to try the Wilde bar. I’d like to preface this review and say that this is all personal opinions and that I am extremely critical when it comes to chocolate. Regrettably, the Wilde Bar did not live up to the hype. Personally, it is a bit too gritty for me. I understand that this was by design, but if I am going for a coarse ground chocolate, Taza
Raf is a complete carnivore, so meat snacks are definitely something he keeps around. So, it was a pleasant surprise to see a Chomps
The keto diet is huge right now. Everywhere you look on social media, the keto diet is what people are doing to lose weight and have a healthier lifestyle. Included in the Paleo by Maileo box is a single serving of vanilla Ancient Nutrition keto protein
Included in the box are six single serving packs of Nutiva coconut oil
The last two items in this months Paleo by Maileo box are the ones we had to outsource to a friend to try. Our son has nut allergies to peanuts and cashews, so those are the nuts to avoid, much to Raf’s dismay because he loves peanuts and cashews. In the box was a limited edition Pumpkin Spice RxBar with almonds, cashews and dates, as well as an impressive full-size bag of Raw Food Central cashew crunch flax crackers. We passed those two items on to a nut-friendly trusted source and both got two thumbs up of approval on taste and quality, although the RxBar nudged the crackers out by a little bit.
There you have it, folks! Our very first unboxing! With the holidays coming up, boxes like these take the headache out of trying to keep eating right as well as being a great gift for friends or family. The box is $39 for a single month but offers plans up to six months. There is free shipping in the US (whaaaaaat??) and all of the products inside are an amazing quality. You can pick up your own box here and we will be back soon with more unboxings, more articles, and more food fandom!
