A Little Luxury For Me

July’s Degustabox

August 9, 2015 by Erica Hughes 21 Comments

drinksJuly has been another good month for the Degustabox.  We have been trying out a range of drinks again, which is a real treat in these summer months because there is always something tasty and refreshing in the fridge.  On the soft drinks front there’s been Newton’s Appl Fizzics which is a refreshing blend of sparkling water and apple juice.  I’ve taken the Little Miracles drinks out with us on picnics and long, hot car drives and they have been very pleasant to drink.  In fact I love the fact that there are no artificial nasties and I like that they have organic ingredients too.  The Lambrini was the perfect drink to share with friends on a long summer evening.  It’s alcoholic, but it’s not a high alcohol content which is great for summer days when you could get dehydrated.

The Weetabix drinks are designed to be an easy way to have breakfast on the go.  It’s basically all the goodness of a breakfast cereal in a bottle.  I found the chocolate version a bit much for first thing, but I think that’s because I prefer a savoury breakfast.  I think this is just the thing for me to drink before we leave for the airport when we go on our holiday later this month.  I need to have something before I drive, but we plan to have a proper meal at the airport.

July DegustaboxFood wise we have the Tasty Little Numbers to try.  These are perfect for filling a lunch time gap or having a side dish.  I love that they are easy to add up on the calories front too as that helps when you are keeping an eye on your weight.  Taking The Pea was a new one for us.  It’s a new healthy snack based on flavoured peas.  They are a perfect lunch box size and are high in fibre, but low in fat.  Say Yes To No is a very simple product.  It doesn’t set out lots of ambitious promises, but has a refreshing take on pack design.  It’s a tasty snack too, so it just shows you don’t need all the marketing lies.  Fru Snax are another healthy snack which are perfect for a lunch box or even popping in your handbag.

Lots of lovely things to try in July’s Degustabox.  Really looking forward to seeing what’s in the August box.

    What a great selection. The Fru Snax look tasty – I love figs.

    I’m intrigued by the Weetabix drinks too!

    I’ve always found Degustabox to have an intriguing mix of different products – it’s exciting to open the box and see what’s inside.

    I’ve never had a food box delivery before – if you don’t like what they send is there a way to ensure you don’t get that item next month?

    I can never quite decide if subscription boxes are my bag! The kids would love the fruit bags.

    We’ve just bought some of the Weetabix drinks in our shopping. I’m not liking the idea but eldest daughter has tried them before and assures me they are really nice.

    These Dugustaboxes sound great and a nice selection of brands too by the looks of things. Definitely tempted to try the Weetabix breakfast drink.

    I still cannot get over the name – it really puts me off even though my kids would love the contents

    Little Miracles are among my favourite drinks in the summer, so refreshing when cool from the fridge! I am a savoury girl too and I am not sure about the liquid Weetabix, I had seen them in Sainsbury’s before but have always steered clean :-).xx
