Does the world really need another subscription box!?

We love a good subscription box. You name it, we’ve probably subscribed to it at some point. So when we wanted to buy a prebiotic food and drink subscription box, we were shocked we didn’t find anything that ticked all of the boxes for us.

Our gut needs a wide variety of prebiotics to feed the wide variety of microorganisms that live there. A subscription box of one type of supplement or a limited range of food wasn’t for us. And the yummy, but full of sugar, snack boxes weren’t for us. We wanted a range of high-quality food, drink and snacks AND we wanted to learn while we ate. We don’t want much right? But our health is important to us – and food plays a big part in a healthy lifestyle.

Plus, good food costs money. We wanted to try products that we might not commit to buying in the shops – things we might see as expensive when compared to their less healthy and cheaper alternatives. You can have those items picked for you now! We pick those items for you – items that we think are worth the money.

 

Prebiotic-inspired food and drink subscription boxes

This was our original list of ‘must haves’ when looking for our own subscription box (no edits). The list has been tried and tested – so we’re sticking with it! 

What do we want in a prebiotic subscription box?

  • Enough of the sugar, glucose syrup and all of the other crap – we want nutrition and high-quality food and snacks
  • A mix of snacks and stuff to cook with
  • Created by someone who is passionate and knowledgeable about food and gut health
  • A chance to try some more expensive and higher-quality items that I can try before buying from shops at full price
  • A magazine would be handy – something that helps you learn about different food ingredients, specifically anything relating to gut health
