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 of 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 (much later than planned) what was in May’s box (themed a picnic box)?
·
A
can of Zeo soft drink
·
A
bottle of Crabbie’s original alcoholic ginger beer
·
A
bar of Cadbury Dairy Milk peanut caramel crisp
·
A
packet of MOMA gluten-free raspberry & coconut bircher
·
Two
packets of chocolate Millions
·
A
packet of sour Millions
·
A
pouch of CerealLovers crunch time nuggets
·
A
packet of Deli Kitchen skinny wraps
·
A
tub of Homepride strong white bread flour
·
A
packet of Hippeas
·
A
packet of Portlebay popcorn
·
A
packet of Candy Kittens sweets
This
month’s box was themed the picnic box and there were so many items perfect for picnicking,
as well as other snacks and treats. Starting with the drinks, as usual, and I
loved the carbonated cranberry &
raspberry drink from Zeo – it was incredibly refreshing and kept me
hydrated on a hot day. I still haven’t tried the Crabbie’s alcoholic ginger
beer – but growing up, I never liked it. It was one of my dad’s favourite
drinks – and would be perfect for a barbecue, picnic, or afternoon in the
garden... the weather just needs to brighten up!
If
like me, you have a sweet tooth, you were in luck this month – with two
products from Millions: sour strawberry (far too sour for me,
think Toxic Waste x 10) and chocolate
coated (still not sure how I feel about these, although I ate both packets
on consecutive days, without sharing). There was also a bag of Candy Kittens sweets – I had the
sour watermelon flavour which were truly divine and gave me all the summer feels – I’d
definitely buy again. And there was also a large share-size of Cadbury Dairy Milk peanut caramel crunch,
which is still sat in the fridge because I’m trying hard to have some will
power... but I won’t be sharing it.
In
terms of the snacks, I’ve tried Portlebay
Popcorn before, but always prefer sweet corns over savoury – so not sure
how I feel about this wasabi & sweet
ginger flavour. I don’t even think I’m brave enough to try it. However, I
loved the chickpea-based puffed snack from Hippeas
and the herb flavour was a lot tastier than some of the other flavours I’d
previously tried. They’re a great alternative to crisps – so light, it’s like
eating air!
I
absolutely love granola and bircher muesli so was pleased with the two
additions in this month’s box. The MOMA
raspberry & coconut bircher muesli was lush soaked in yogurt (plain or
fruit) with berries (strawberries, blueberries or raspberries) and kept me full
until lunchtime. The combination of flavours just worked so well. I’m yet to
try the CerealLovers crunch time nuggets,
but they’d make a great snack on their own, or as a yogurt topper.
And
finally, I was looking forward to trying the NEW fresh product – which totally
didn’t disappoint. It was recommended to eat this within three days of receiving
the box, but thankfully it could be frozen. The Skinni wraps were perfect for lunch and at 90 calories each, I had
two a day filled with chicken salad. I would be inclined to buy these again,
although they were quite thin and I prefer the traditional style-wraps. As I
don’t eat white carbohydrates generally, I gave my mum the Home Pride strong white bread flour – and as we have a bread
machine, I’m sure she’ll put it to good use.
