Our latest box of goodies arrived the other week from Degustabox and they have been very popular. Hubby is on a diet at the moment and the Hartley’s 10 Cal jelly pots were just the thing for him. He also liked the Fruit in Jelly pots as they were also diet friendly. Another product receiving the low cal thumbs up was Db’s Discoveries Nothing But range. They are healthy, freeze-dried fruit and vegetable snacks and they are all under 80 calories. Continuing on the healthy theme I have been eating Nutribix Gold and Grains in the mornings as my cereal. it tastes a bit like Weetabix, but it’s got interesting and tasty things added like coconut, honey and sorghum. I think for me it’s still a bit too much like Weetabix to be my cereal of choice, but it’s made a pleasant change. Beloved Dates bars are 100% natural and have no added sugar. They are very nice and full of lots of healthy goodies.
Continuing with the snacks, we’ve enjoyed Ritz Crisp and Thin which are a new oven-baked potato snack and they are very moreish. The London Crisp Company have some great tasting crisp and the sea salt and malt vinegar flavour has been a hit. On the subject of vinegar we were pleased to see Sarsons Malt Vinegar in there. This is a new limited edition bottle featuring the ‘Fish and Chip’ characters created by artist Paul Thurlby. On a sweeter note, Mr Kipling’s Exceeding Good Slices lived up to their name with tasty ingredients like dark chocolate chips and coconut. Diving chocolate was simply divine. I have a bit of a soft spot for caramel and their Caramel bars were wonderful.
On the drinks side we’ve tried VitHit which is a juice based soft drink with 1000% of the recommended daily allowance of 8 different vitamins. Good for the teeth and the waistline too as there is no added sugar and there are fewer than 35 calories in a bottle.J2O have developed a Spritz range which is just the refreshing drink for the summer ahead. This would be a nice drink to serve to non-drinkers or drivers when others are having something fizzy.
Oh I’ve just ordered my first Degustabox, I’m really hoping I get jelly in it, I love the fruit in jelly too. In fact, I think I’d be happy with everything you got in your box. I’m feeling pretty excited for my delivery now 🙂 Oh, and don’t forget you can link your post up to my linky, I’d love to see you there, there’s a new one up today x
I’ll be over to link up Anne.
How has the experience of having a Degustabox been? It is obviously making you try new things but do you find that you are re-buying them afterwards? I’m not sure I’d want to use everything I was sent, and I worry that I’d end up with products in my cupboard that would just sit there. Do you have a technique for dealing with that?
Sounds like very good value for money, I have been saying that I will subscribe to get Degustabox but never got around to do it.xx
Looks like an interesting mix of treats, I’m not convinced I’d use everything in there though. Is there an option to set preferences when you order?
I know that this is great value, but I wish I had that sort of spare cash each month for something like this
That looks like a great box. I think I would have been won over by the cakes!
I love the look of these boxes, they always sound like a good mix of treats and new finds.
This is really interesting will have to hve a closer look. Love a bragian!
I find these box subscriptions interesting to read about but they just don’t do it for me. Do you find you get constant value for money?
I think the value is always there in terms of cost of items bought individually compared to the box price. The difficulty though is whether there is always value to you. Occasionally you might get a box with a few things you don’t like and then the value is more marginal.
