Graze is the latest craze

A new website is changing the way office workers snack to improve the way they eat at work.

At graze.com busy workers can order tasty, healthy snacks online and get it delivered to their desks. With boxes containing everything from exotic goji berries to fresh pineapple, graze.com is all about making it easy to eat better at work.

Ideal if you work in an office block or an out of the way location without any shops near by - we think Graze will be particularly popular with businesses on Airport Road West in Belfast and based in industrial estates.

Priced at £2.99, you can choose a box put together by the graze nutrition team, or set your own preferences so graze can make you the perfect box with that days freshest produce. You can even choose to have three of your five a day guaranteed in every graze box.

Having sampled two graze boxes so far we've been extremely impressed with the packaging and the product. The packaging is sleek and looks fantastic and the cardboard and paper inside is recyclable. The snacks inside have been five large slices of fresh pinapple (yum) a mix of dried fruit and nuts (Loco in Acapulco) and wasabe rice crackers (vile!). Having set my preferances to 'bin' for the wasabe rice crackers - I'll never get them included in my graze box again. The second box came with the fresh fruit option large juicy red grapes, the dried fruit mix named ‘Rock the Casbah' included walnuts, dates (lush!) and pumkin seeds and were incredibly addictive, with the third selection being a massice improvement on the wasabe rice crackers with roasted cashews. Some of the fresh fruit options are things like sliced apple and sliced orange - for £2.99 we think you could buy some apples in the supermarket and keep the luxuries for your graze box to make sure you get the best value for money.

graze.com state that "Graze is a healthy way to eat - it promotes stable blood sugar and a varied balanced diet, plus you know that nothing in a graze box will ever contain artificial colourings, flavourings or preservatives."

Roz Kadir, chief nutritionist at graze.com comments, "We are all familiar with that 3pm slump in energy. Eating the graze way is all about long term sustained energy, more balance and variety, improved immunity and if done correctly it can help you lose a few pounds too. I'm so excited about bringing grazing to the nation. My experience with the England Rugby team has proven that eating the graze way, using low GI foods, can dramatically improve performance and focus."

A graze box is certainly a more healthy option that a packet of biscuits but it would be wise to note that just because it's healthy - the content still has calories. Nuts have a high fat content as well as dried fruit being high in sugars - even though it's natural.
