Summer is the theme of the latest Degustabox.
Degustabox is a monthly food and drink subscription box. It's an excellent way of discovering new products which have only just appeared in the shops, or those which have been around for a while, but you haven't had a chance to try them yet.
Thanks to Degustabox, I have found new favourites to add to our shopping list, including some products which I probably wouldn't have tried otherwise.
Each time the monthly box arrives, its contents are a total surprise. You get a good selection of foods and drinks.
If you haven't tried Degustabox subscription box yet, and would like to have a go, I have a £3 off discount from your first box (and you can unsubscribe any time), just use code DKRLN when placing an order.
What did we find in Summer (July) Degustabox?
Bebeto Party Mix Tub (£2) is a selection of mixed gummies. They are fizzy coated and chewy, and would appeal to the fans of Tangfastics.
I've only managed one gummy, as it's super tangy, but my guys enjoy the combination of super sour and sweet.
Available at Morrisons, selected Spar stores & Bestways.
Premier Protein Chocolate Brownie flavoured protein bar (£1.49) is a snack with a promise of a feel-good energy, to help you achieve your health and wellbeing goals.
Premier Protein bars are packed with 20g of protein and only 1.3g of sugar. Great post-workout, as an on-the-go snack.
Available in three flavours: Chocolate Brownie, White Chocolate Vanilla and Chocolate Peanut Butter.
Available at Ocado and WHSmith Travel.
Natvia Natural Sweetener (£5) is made from 100% naturally sourced GMO-free ingredients.
Created from a unique blend of stevia, Natvia tastes sweet with no aftertaste.
Crafted for baking and cooking, it is also a great companion to coffee and tea.
Visit www.natvia.com for great recipe ideas.
Available at Tesco, Ocado, Tree of Life and Health Food Store.
Minor Figures Nitro Cold Brew (£1.95) is a dairy-free brew with no added sugar. Minor Figures source the best in-season tea and coffee. Their slow brew process captures the purity and depth of every ingredient.
When opned, nitrogen is released to create silky microfoam.
They are ready to drink but best served chilled.
You should receive 1 item in your box.
Available at Wholefoods, Planet Organic, Sourced Market, As Nature Intended, Ocado, WHSmith Travel, Holland & Barratt and nationwide independents.
We received a Minor Figures Nitro Cold Brew Mocha, an iced coffee made with oat milk, cocoa and sweetener. Oat milk has quite a distinct aftertaste, not unpleasant, just different.
Wunda Milk Alternative (£1.99) is another dairy-free product in the latest Degustabox. This dairy-free milk alternative is high in protein and calcium, low in sugar and fat, fortified with vitamins A, D, B2 and B12. You can use it in exactly the same way you use milk.
It's log-life, vegan plant-based drink. Ingredients include pea protein, inulin, sunflower oil, etc
It's not available in the shops yet, as the product is launching in 2021.
Nesquik All Natural Milkshake Powder (£1.89) is made with just 5 natural ingredients including natural raw cane sugar. Nesquik All Natural contains no artificial flavourings or sweeteners, but still has the chocolatey taste children love.
The paper packaging is fully recyclable and plastic-free.
Available at Tesco and Sainsbury's.
ManiLife Peanut Butter (60p) is made from the finest high-oleic peanuts sourced from a single estate farm in Argentina, roasted by experts and blended in small batches to create an explosion of taste.
Available nationwide in Sainsbury's, Waitrose, Ocado and at ManiLife.com.
You should receive two different mini tubs.
A selection of Skinny Sauce sachets was a free gift. You should receive a surprise bag with 4 different items. Add a flavour to any meal without extra calories or sugar. These are zero sugar, low calorie syrups and virtually zero calorie sauces. There are over 70 flavours to choose from.
As you can see above, we got 3 savoury and 1 sweet flavour sachets.
I used Skinny Syrup White chocolate to make a batch of Yogurt oat cookies with saffron icing.
I was most excited about Golden Creek maple syrup (£2.49). It's a blend of pure, dark Canadian maple syrup and liquid sugar. I love maple syrup poured over porridge and pancakes.
Available at Ocado and Home Bargains.
Pravha Lighter Tasting Pilsner (£2) - discover Pravha, from the legendary brewers of Staropramen. Pravha has the bold, iconic flavour of a high quality Czech Pilsner, and is unexpectedly crisp, light tasting and refreshing.
Available in all major supermarket chains.
If you're not a fan of Pilsner, may I suggest adding it to the pancake batter for the best savoury pancakes.
And finally, Plant Pops (£1.50) or Popped Lotus Seeds. This a new snack made with sustainably harvested lotus seeds, popped and roasted before being tumbled with ground peanuts for a subtle peanutty taste.
They are sweet and salty, and give you a satisfying crunch. It's a lovely snack.
A suggestion which we haven't tried yet is to drizzle them with melted chocolate.
Available on Amazon, www.plantpopssnacks.com, TheVeganKind Supermarket, Harvey Nichols, Londis and Budgens.

I love the Degustabox for this month! So many vegan options, that's great. Also, Skinny Syrup, which is my husband's favourite brand of coffee syrups. Now that I think about, maybe I should buy some and surprise him. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try that pea milk and those lotus seeds.
