Movie Night 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 otherwise wouldn't have tried.

Each time a 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 £3off discount from your first box (and you can unsubscribe any time), just use code DKRLN when placing an order.

Dalston's Cherry Seltzer/Rhubarb soda (£1.25) - born in an East London nightclub and made by chefs, Dalston's make soda with soul. 

It has real fruit, no added sugar, no artificial sweeteners. It's carbon neutral and farm friendly.

Starbucks Signature Chocolate Salted Caramel (£4.25 for 10 stick of 20g) is a special treat for Starbucks' fans. This hot chocolate is a decadent combination of caramelly sweetness with a salty flavour.

Simply stir with warm milk of your choice for an indulgent experience. You can also use it as ingredient in baking brownies. I prefer a more bitter and less sweet hot chocolate, but if you have a sweet tooth, this might be a hot drink for you.

Available in ASDA and Sainsbury's.

Dorset Cereals Dark Chocolate & Hazelnut Muesli Crunch (£3.69) is the signature muesli grains mixed with light and crispy granola clusters, with deluxe dark chocolate curls and cocoa caramelised hazelnuts.

Personally I'm more of a granola rather than muesli girl, but this combination of two is pretty good. I also like the addition of seeds. 

It is high in fibre, non-GMO and is suitable for vegetarians.

Nutritional values: 208kcal and 4.7g of sugar per 45g serving. The pack contains about eight portions.

Available in Tesco, Ocado and Amazon.

Knorr Crofter's Thick Vegetable and Super Chicken Noodle Soups (£0.90) are a staple of many a kitchen cupboard. 

Seeing these packets brought back memories of my student days, when I used to buy lots of Knorr soups, and would add a few vegetables for a quick meal.

They contain no artificial colours or preservatives, no added MSG. One pack serves four.

Nutritional values: 68kcal and 1.5g of salt per portion (vegetarian soup) and 45kcal and 1.2g of salt per portion (chicken soup).

Use them as a base for a variety of soups, with added spices, herbs and vegetables. I love the sound of the suggested recipe for Keralan vegetable soup, made with Knorr vegetable soup, Balti paste, curry leaves, coconut milk and baby spinach.

I also tried a suggestion of adding Chinese leaf to the Knorr chicken noodle soup, it was light and flavourful.

You should receive 2 items in your box. Available in the major supermarket chains.
