Graze
Anyone else seen all the marketing for Graze?
They are designed to be perfect for office dwellers who want a healthy option for lunch without having to leave their desk. Clearly it's for those people who don't take a proper lunch break anyway. Now, I fall into that category. Normally I bring in left-overs from home, so I'm not the sort of person normally spending 4 quid/day at M&S on a salad though.
They charge you 3 quid/day and post you lunch. What you get is a cardboard box, about the size of a VHS tape, but slightly thinner so it'll fit though letter boxes. In this are 3 plastic containers, containing fresh fruit, dried fruit seeds and nuts. The exact mix can be tuned using their website but telling them your likes and dislikes.
The idea is that you eat it gradually during the day, rather than all at lunch time, and this is somehow better for your metabolism.
I found that I didn't get into it, not helped by the first box only coming at lunch time, but I found that I had finished it all by 2:30. I wasn't hungry. That's a good thing. Then I found that the box I'd eaten contained over 600 calories. Much more than the 400 you'd get from a carton of soup from tesco.
Anyway, I don't think it's for me, but if anyone wants to try, you can get your first box free, and the second half-price, by using the code: FYWNRC5. Their idea seems a good one, and it might work for you, but 3 quid/day sounds like quite a lot for someone who isn't already buying a sandwich every day. Oh, and you'll have to find another excuse to leave the office at lunch and get your fresh air.
