Another month and another Degustabox delivered to my door. I’m seriously never going to tire of having a box of food handed over to me every month, I’m a grazer by nature and a box of new things to try is the perfect excuse to nibble on a little bit of everything (to save me having to pick one thing then wait a few hours for another!). The August box was jam-packed full of goodness and it may be one of my favourite boxes to date…

This month saw the inclusion of Degustabox Fridge, a little blue envelope containing a coupon for a chilled product as part of the box. This month it was for a multipack of Moma! Bircher Muesli pots (RRP £2.99) and I haven’t yet been to Waitrose to see if they stock them here, but they sound divine. I’m a big fan of yoghurt and breakfast-y type foods.

I love the packaging of Mexican Dave’s tortilla chips (RRP £1), it’s just so bright and fun and eye catching. We haven’t broken in to the bag yet as we’re saving it to make nachos or something with- it’s entirely likely they will just be used as a vessel to scoop up dips though!

Schwartz flavour shots are always a welcome addition to our store cupboard as they make creating a delicious dinner so quick and easy. I’m especially looking forward to trying the Spanish smoked paprika chicken…yummy! Spanish food is my favourite.

The drinks selection this month was brilliant, I was super impressed! There was a lovely peach and goji berry fruit drink that even the soft drinks loathing me enjoyed. For every bottle sold 10% goes to charity too which makes Berry White drinks even better in my eyes (RRP £1.59). There was also some ginger beer and tonic water from Fever Tree who make really good drinks and an apple and pear kids blend from Cawston Press which are lighter on sugar than the “adult” version and would be a great addition to a child’s lunchbox for a treat (and they’d have to be a treat as they cost £1.89 for three!). I’m not usually one for alcho-pop type drinks but Caribbean Twist have won me over with their strawberry daiquiri. It only costs £2.50 for a big bottle and would be perfect served with nibbles for a girls night in…mine won’t be lasting that long, nope.

Lindt made an appearance in the box this month with this adorable little tin of chocolate hearts (RRP £3.49). I’m keeping these all to myself but they would also make a lovely gift to show someone you care.

I’ve already tried these Dr. Oetker edible baking cases and can confirm they are genius. At £2.50 for six they aren’t for every day baking but make a novel touch for a special occasion…they also make a generous sized cupcake, perfect!

Last but not least we come to my favourite products from the box, Brioche Pasquier has been a snack staple for a while and both their traditional little brioches and the pain au chocolat are really, really good! Mum and I are going to whip up a brioche and butter pudding, as was suggested on the Degustabox leaflet so I’ll be sure to share how that goes…the pain au chocolat though are mine. All mine!

So there we have my thoughts on the August box, what do you think? Degustabox are offering you £3 off of your first box with the code QHZG2 and you can find out more by checking out the facebook, twitter and website.
