Monthly Food Subscriptions Thriving

Following the success of diet-food delivery services, the health industry is catching on to the popularity of subscription-box businesses that has led to the success of brands like Birchbox. Healthy subscription boxes provide customers with a monthly taste of the trendiest options in luxe health snacks and workout gear. A handful of new box brands including Healthy Surprise and Sprig launched this year and deliver niche health products like vegan, gluten-free and organic snacks to customers’ doorsteps. Think freeze-dried raspberries, date-flavored protein bars and honey-and-rosemary-spiced almonds. “We are trying to give people the experience of finding something new,” says Sprig co-founder Brent Jenkins. “We wanted to become better eaters and know where our food was coming from. We are trying to make a small shift in how people eat and we’ve created a following of people trying to engage in this food revolution,"
