  5. What it’s like receiving a GoodnessMe box – June 2020

    In my original review of GoodnessMe, I gave them a fantastic 8.4/10 rating. I specifically called them out as the perfect food box for "anyone who’s looking to discover new, healthy foods or wants to explore new snacking options" and I still think they're the best offering on the market. So, when the team at GoodnessMe reached out and asked if I'd like to get their June box with their new, updated branding I couldn't help but say yes! This means that I haven't paid for my latest box but my original review was 100% independent and paid for out of my own pocket.
