Cuisine Cube Gluten Free Subscription Box Review

Has anyone compared this against Send Me Gluten Free box? My sister likes the items featured in the blog reviews for Send Me Gluten Free, but none have prices listed. She’s looking for a good gluten-free box for over the wintertime. She’s comfortable cooking/baking gluten-free. I have a feeling I know what I am buying her for Christmas 🙂

For whatever it is worth, I tried this sub out last month (we have a gf/cf household and have for years). The value was better last month. I’ll see if I can dig up the info card, but from memory it contained a package of Italian rice cakes (around 8 cakes), a package of hamburger seasoning mix (serves 8), a 12.5 oz. bottle of burger sauce, a box of chocolate cookies (around a dozen cookies), and a package of turkey jerky (don’t recall size, but a good amount. I can’t remember if there was anything else. I’m not sure if this is a great box for me because the value is not fantastic and also because I’m very comfortable with cooking/baking/buying gf/cf foods so I don’t know that I’m likely to be wowed by rice cakes, seasoning packets, cookies, root veggie chips, granola bars, pasta, etc. That said, I got the sub (on Living Social, I think) because I knew that it would make my kids excited to get a box full of food in the mail that they could eat, and it did exactly that.

There is a deal on Groupon today for this subscription.

I REALLY love the idea of this box! I recently had to go gluten-free and it is a big transition! Wheat is a component in so many things that even if you KNOW it (know the recipe, etc.), it isn’t as obvious as bread, pasta, cake, etc. After living most of your life a certain way, it’s (kind of surprisingly) easy to just pop something in your mouth and then think “oh, no. I can’t have that any more!” out of habit. While I am in what I like to think of “this transition phase”, it makes it so much easier to be able to try new things like this. I love finding new GF products that work for me! Some are misses that I would rather skip all together than eat the “gluten-free” version. Some are a great swap! If the value is there, this is ideal!! It sounds like this is one that I would like to keep my eye on, but at this point might not be worth it.

This is disappointing. I was hoping they would be closer to the value of the box. I’m always on the lookout for gluten-free items for my sister.
