If
you’ve
not heard of Degustabox, then where have you been? It’s a food & drink
monthly subscription box –
bringing you 10-15 surprise products, many which are new to the market. When
you sign up, you get to fill in your very own profile, meaning a couple of the products
may differ. It’s
actually the highlight of my week when this little beauty arrives on my
doorstep –
so what was in February’s box?

As
usual, let’s start with the drinks in this month’s box. It’s no secret that I’m
partial to a glass (or bottle!) of wine and although I’d had fruit varieties in
the past, I’d not tried anything from Blossom
Hill’s Fruit Bloom range. I received the rosé with summer fruits which was
beaut. It’d be perfect on a summer’s day or over ice. I’ve bought the Koko Dairy Free milk a number of times
and while I don’t particularly enjoy the taste of it on its own, it’s lovely
when used in smoothies, porridge or baking. And I’m yet to try the Coldpress Berry Beets Juice, but I
really don’t know how I feel about it. I made a smoothie with beet before and
found it an acquired taste.
Kabuto are a brand Degustas are familiar
with and the noodle pots have featured in a number of previous boxes. This vegetable
laksa pot was flavoursome and I added prawns to it, to make it a more
substantial meal. This isn’t something I’d eat or even buy often – and I’m
certainly not running out to buy this again; Laksa from scratch is fairly
simple. There were two tins of Heinz No
Added Sugar beans in this month’s box and again, while they’re not
something I eat often, they’re a cupboard staple and the smaller tins will make
for a lazy dinner. I find the original sauce too sweet, so hopefully this ‘healthier’
equivalent will prove more popular.
The
rest of the box was perfect for snackers and there were plenty of sweet treats,
which I loved. First up though, there’s a savoury offering from Willy Chase. I received the salted
honey flavour of FitCorn in a
previous box and really didn’t like it. I’m not usually one for savoury
popcorn, but this was the perfect replacement for crisps at work – and the
combination of flavours worked so well. The dark chocolate banana chips were another work snack I enjoyed. They
were light, crisp and incredibly moreish – I could have easily eaten the whole
bag in one go. I hadn’t heard of Maui
& Sons before but I’m interested in seeing what other ‘healthy’ snacks
they sell.
The
Bebeto Cheesecake gummies were
probably my product of the month. I love cheesecake and I love sweets, so it
didn’t get much better! I just can’t believe they actually tasted like all the
elements of a cheesecake! However, I found the Bebeto Candy Crush gummies very gimmicky and the sweets inside the
bag didn’t match those on the packaging. I’m sure fans of the game would
appreciate this, but it really wasn’t for me. The chocolate coated coffee beans
by New York Delhi were interesting,
but had quite a bitter aftertaste. They’d make a great topping for a cheesecake
or cupcake though. I didn’t enjoy the Diablo
chocolate wafer, not because of the lack of sugar, but because the wafer
was so soft and it really didn’t taste chocolate-y. Finally, the Peppersmith mints were enjoyable – I had
seen them before but had never bought them. I would buy them again.
