DEGUSTABOX UNBOXING - JULY 2018

Hello everyone,

Today I am going to be unboxing July's edition of Degustabox, a monthly subscription box containing food and drink items. I have been doing unboxing posts since August 2017, which you can take a look back through on here! You can find Degustabox via their website, Instagram or Facebook pages. The box is £12.99 a month, but I do have a (non-affiliate) which is 'SRMJ9', taking your first box down to £7.99 including postage!

So, on to what's inside the box! There were two versions of the box this month, the alcohol version and the non-alcohol version. The products marked with an '*' are the either/or products, and will depend on the box you get! 

PRODUCTS OF THE MONTH - CAPSICANA BRAZILIAN SMOKED PAPRIKA & SPICES SEASONING MIX (RRP: £1.00) // CAPSICANA MEXICAN GUACAMOLE MIX (£0.65)

First in the box are two products from Capsicana. They are extending their authentic Latin American range, and have included these two products as part of this. First is the Brazilian Smoked Paprika & Spices seasoning mix, which can be sprinkled on meat for the BBQ or used in the oven. Also in the box is the Mexican Guacamole mix, which is made to be added to one smashed avocado for homemade guacamole! I love guacamole and think this is a great and easy idea. I cant't wait to use it!

Both products are launching in larger Sainsbury's stores this month.

HEINZ SALAD CREAM (RRP: £1.49)

"After a century of being a must-have ingredient in lunchboxes and picnic hampers up and down the country, Heinz salad cream still has it's deliciously zingy taste that makes it one of Britain's best-loved sauces" - There's not a lot else to say I think!

ROSIE'S PIG FLAT TYRE CIDER (RRP: £2.00)*

Described as "lightly sparkling, cloudy cider with rhubarb juice. Made with fresh pressed Herefordshire apples, this sweet and well balanced cider is slowly matured and left unfiltered to create an uncompromising flavour. The fruity taste paired with a tart finish makes it refreshingly moreish". I absolutely loved this and will be buying this for myself. It's a perfect summer drink and I love it! *This is included in the alcoholic version of Degustabox only.

RIBENA SPARKLING DRINKS (2 X £2.70 each)

"Ribena Sparkling is a grown up twist on a classic - this time with bubbles included! Available in two tongue tickling flavours; Blackcurrant, and Pineapple & Passionfruit - this refreshing new drink comes in at less than 15 calories per bottle - available now in pubs near you. You should receive two flavours in your Degustabox. I have tried these and they're quite different to what I was expecting. They taste like still Ribena, but are fizzy! I think they are a good option for those who want a soft drink when out at pubs.

MISO TASTY MUGI BARLEY MISO SOUP (RRP: £3.75)

"Made from fermented barley and soybeans, our Mugi Barley Miso Soup has a light but hearty flavour. The mushrooms add a sweet, earthy taste and are packed seperately to keep our miso fresh and mushrooms flavoursome!" I am yet to try this, but next time I make ramen I may use it as a base!

PERCOL ICE COFFES (RRP: £1.50 each)

"We're a small bunch of coffee lovers who are passionate about bringing you the best beans. That's why we've created these irresistible Fairtrade and Organic Iced Coffees". I personally don't like coffee, but I gave this to my mum who really enjoyed it. You should receive one of two flavours in your Degustabox (I received the protein latte flavour).

PECKISH CHEESE TRAYS (RRP: £1.59)

"Peckish is a thinner, lighter, crispier snack made of rice and full of flavour! We are baked not fried, gluten free and under 100 calories per portion. The trays are perfect for sharing and entertaining this summer. I am yet to try these but they sound great!

PULSIN SALTED CARAMEL RAW CHOC BROWNIE (RRP: £1.59)

" A deliciously decadent healthy brownie... who knew that could even exist? Well, now it does! Crafted with the finest natural ingredients, the new Salted Caramel Raw Choc Brownie from Pulsin is the perfect treat for an indulgent yet guilt-free snack!"

ROWNTREE'S FRUIT PASTILLES 30% LESS SUGAR POUCH (RRP: £1.29)

"30% less sugar, 100% fun-filled. Introducing Rowntree's 30% less sugar fruit pastilles. The sweets you know and love, but now with 30% less sugar. Rowntrees sweets contain no artifical colours, flavours, preservatives or sweeteners" These went down a treat and still taste great!

LONDON FLAVOURS CRISPS (£0.95 each)

"Our premium crisps are made with the best British potatoes, roughly peeled, seasoned with delicious flavours and hand cooked in small batches to ensure an even crispier quality" You should receive two of four flavours in your Degustabox (I received lightly salted and cheddar and onion). I loved the lightly salted flavour of these!

CADBURY HIGHLIGHTS MILK CHOCOLATE DRINK (RRP: £2.99)

"The deliciously light way to enjoy hot chocolate! Cadbury Highlights Milk Chocolate has the smooth, milk-chocolatey taste of Cadbury, but with only 38 calories per cup!" I haven't tried this yet, but I love hot chocolate especially with the autumn/winter upcoming months.

That's everything for this post! I hope you have all enjoyed reading.
