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.
What did we get in the November Degustabox box?
The Jelly Bean Factory 36 Big Flavours (£1.50 for a 113g pouch) is a new mix of bold flavours. These gourmet jelly beans have a cripsy shell with a softer chewy core. Dip in the bag, and try to guess the flavour of your beans.
It has natural flavours, and is gelatine free.
Nutritional information: 375kcal and 76g of sugar per 100g.
Available on Amazon.
Bett'r Peanut Butter Cups (£2.99) is a new vegan and gluten-free alternative to chocolate butter cups like Reese's etc.
They are organic, guilt free, vegan.
Nutritional values: 79kcal and 3,5g of sugar per one cup (13g).
Despite having not that much sugar per cup, they are very sweet. I would have also liked a slightly salty peanut butter to counter-balance the sweetness.
Available in major supermarket chains.
Heinz Made For Veggiez Miso & Chilli (£2.50) was my personal product of the month, and a discovery that promises to become one of our favourites.
Heinz Made for Veggiez is a new range of expertly crafted sauces, inspired by cuisines around the world. Add to the vegetables of your choice to jazz up your veggie dishes.
Coat and cook or use as a dip.
Ingredients include rice vinegar, white miso paste, rapeseed oil, Bramley apple puree, maple syrup, red chilli puree, ginger puree, coriander and more. This spicy, umami sauce is inspired by the cuisine of Japan.
Nutritional values: 117kcal and 4.3g of sugar per 100ml.
Available at Morrisons and Ocado.
I used it to coat slices of sweet peppers and aubergines, which I roasted to serve with poached fish. It was just beautiful with vegetables.
Heineken Silver (£1 per can or £6 per multipack) is an extra refreshing lager, with a clean crips taste, and low bitterness. Great to enjoy with friends and family at gatherings, or on Netflix and pizza nights.
Heineken is a well-known name in the world of international brewers. It is faous for its high quality beer.
Heineken Silver is brewed using an ice-cold lagering process and natural ingredients, thus creating a unique and distinct flavour of the 4% premium lager.

Double Dutch Drinks Double Lemon (£1.20) is a zingy taste of summer. Combining a mic-drop blend of lemon, lime and quassia, Double Dutch is fine on its own, and will enhance many a cocktail, with Pimm's, vodka or gin.
Quassia adds a more piquant note than traditional quinine, and is supposed to help digestion.
Double Dutch mixers are made with natural ingredients, no artificial sweeteners, and are low in calories and sugar.
Nutritional information: 21kcal and 4.9g of sugar per 100ml.

ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl! Nice to "see" you. For some stupid reason I don't get email notifications for your comments, like the others. I just read someone wishing you a merry Xmas on the choccie thread and reaslied that you have been answering and I didn't see the comments, as I have been reading only those which get in my Inbox. I will be collating all the comments from the actual post anyway, but don't understand why not all comments get notifications. Truffle pesto is nice if you like truffles.
