Degustabox April Box

 

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 April Box Degustabox?

Product of the Month - Brioche Pasquier Chocolate Chip Pancakes (£2.50) are a lovely breakfast or brunch treat, soft and squishy, with delicious chocolate chips. 

French family bakery since 1936, Pasquier offers a wide selection of baked goodies. My family loves their brioche, and I buy the pancakes occasionally too, especially when I don't have time to make my own from scratch. We even bought them on our recent trips to Paris, while doing grocery shopping.

Great for lunchboxes, for on the go, eat them as they are, or put in the toaster to warm them up (just be careful not to leave them for longer than a minute, as they might break when you try to get them out, as we found out).

Nutritional information: 131kcal and 9g of sugar per pancake; free from preservatives, suitable for vegetarians.

Available in Ocado and Morrisons.

Excellent with croissants, toast, plain brioche and pancakes/crepes. 

Nutritional values: 565kcal and 48g of sugar per 100g.

The hazelnut chocolate spread is available from most major supermarkets.

Teapigs Decaf English Breakfast (£11.90) is a beautiful refreshing tea.

English Breakfast tea is a firm favourite in our family. Strong, malty, well-balanced brew, it has all the taste of the usual black tea, but none of the caffeine. I enjoy mine with a slice of lemon and a spoonful of sugar, or just half a teaspoon of honey to add a touch of sweetness. It works perfectly well as a base for an iced tea, with sliced lemons and oranges and mint leaves.

100% natural, no artificial flavourings, made with big quality whole leaves. All tea temples are plastic free. 

Available at all major supermarkets and online at teapigs.co.uk.
