Degustabox | January 2017

Item sent for purpose of review. All thoughts & opinions are our own.

Another month, another Degustabox to review. I’m a bit late in getting this post up due to everything that has been going on recently but here is what we have thought of the items this month and if you want to get your box for just £5.99 including delivery instead of the standard price of £12.99, just use the code IE7Z8 at the checkout! Happy shopping!

Yushoi Snapea Coconut & Chilli rice sticks – £1.79

I’ve mentioned my love for Yushoi before and I was extremely lucky with these as they were a little too hot for Jack to have more than a few and Steve just isn’t a fan. ALL MINE!!

Popchips Ridges Crazy Hot – £1.99

They certainly weren’t lying when they said crazy hot, these nearly blew my head off but Steve liked them, both the heat and the flavour.

As with all subscription boxes, you sometimes get items that won’t be used – none of us are big fans of wholegrain rye or quinoa so we donated these Finn Crisps snacks (1.99) and this Quinola Mothergrain (£2.49) to the food bank in our village.

Crabbies Scottish Raspberry Alcoholic Ginger Beer – £1.39

We are already big fans of Crabbie’s and this tasted absolutely divine – we will definitely be picking up more!

Aspire Drinks (Mango & Lemonade and Cranberry) – £1.45 each

We’ve tried Aspire many times in the past and always been impressed. These have zero calories, zero sugar and zero fat but taste great – so refreshing and healthy.

Protein Boost (strawberry flavour) – £1.29

We don’t tend to have protein drinks in the house but this tastes amazing and definitely gave me some extra get up and go.

We also received a fiery ginger hibiscus drink which was definitely fiery and super tasty!

Fruitella 30% Less Sugar – £1.25 

We love Fruitella in this household and these didn’t last long. You couldn’t even tell there was less sugar in them than normal ones – a big thumbs up from us!

The Chia Co Chia Seeds – 66p each

We don;t eat chia in our house so these were also donated to the local food bank.

We were also sent this lovely real hot chocolate from Pip’s Real Hot Chocolate Co and a 100% off voucher for a The Collective product – yummy!

Finally we received these – Little’s French Vanilla Infused Instant Coffee which we are passing along to my brother in law as we don’t drink coffee and this Natvia 100% natural sweetener (£4.99). With us both starting our diets again, sweetener is a must have in our kitchen cupboards so we are keeping this for our future bakes!

I’m very impressed once again. Whilst I did end up donating a couple of items to the foodbank and giving one away to family, this is the perils of subscription boxes – there’s something for everyone in sub boxes but not everything will be perfect for everyone. However we had some fab items that we really loved such as the Crabbies, Yushoi and Fruitella. The box came to over £20 which is great value considering you are paying just £12.99!

What would have been your favourite item from the box?
