The November Degustabox*

Box gifted by Degustabox
This is a PR box, this means there will sometimes be additional flavours or products than you’d get as a subscriber, I will highlight this within my post.

Another month and another cracking Degustabox delivery, as with last month there wasn’t a single product I didn’t enjoy and I wasted no time in getting stuck in.

Pure Leaf matcha teas are great, I love how they look and how they taste and they are doing wonders for helping my reduce my caffeine intake! The ginger flavour is especially good right now as it’s like a hug in a mug. Subscribers will receive one of three varieties in their box.
I love this kind of snack, being the serial grazer that I am. Both verities of Real Handful trail mix are super yummy, and makes me feel virtuous even if the only hiking I ever do is the occasional walk to work! Subscribers will get either strawberry stomp OR blackcurrant blast. Both are delicious and I’ll be grabbing some more next time I am at Tesco.
I’ve been drinking rather a lot of gin lately, and have had a lot of fun trying out new mixer/spirit combinations. Double Dutch are a new brand on me- I really liked the cranberry and ginger for a festive feel. Subscribers will receive both flavours.
Peanut butter puffs sound like they might be disgusting, but trust me, they aren’t. They are vegan and gluten free, a nice and healthy(er) alternative to crisps and so far come in original or chilli flavour. I eagerly await the launch of banana, although my head keeps expecting something 100% savoury when I eat these.
How great is this packaging? Simple, eye catching and very modern. Peanut butter and dark chocolate is such a winning combination in my book, and these bars are yum! They also donate 1% of their turnover to charity and contain lots of tasty nutrients.
Subscribers will receive one of three flavours in their box, the others being peanut butter and coconut/peanut butter, raisin and dark chocolate.
I don’t have much information on these Food Thoughts cacao melts but I can tell you I can’t wait to use them in some baking I’m doing next week…watch this space!

It took me a LONG time to appreciate marmalade, but now I enjoy it a lot, specifically on white toast with lots of butter. It’s good to see a prestigious brand like Duerr’s do a reduced sugar variant of the classic (and superior) spread. Less sugar without any compromise on taste.
Subscribers will either get the half sugar variety OR fine cut Seville orange marmalade.
This is literally a dairy-free nutella milkshake! Made with creamy coconut milk, both vegans and non vegans alike will enjoy this for sure. Out of curiosity I tried it heated up too…I recommend it. Highly.

Bob and I eat a lot of instant noodles for work lunches and both agree that Mr Lees are superior, both for their taste and the fact they have no hidden nasties. Subscribers will get either Coconut Chicken Laksa (Bob’s favourite) OR Zen Garden Vegetables (my pick) in their box.

This is an interesting little drink and I don’t really know how to describe it. It’s a low alcohol beverage which will be available in Fortnum and Mason from January. Made from berries, botanicals and cocoa it has 1% ABV and really needs to be tried to truly understand it.

Let me know if you’ve tried any of these products and what you thought in the comments.


If you’re new to Degustabox, it’s a monthly food subscription box that gives you the chance to try new and exciting products on the market whilst providing amazing value for money.
On a month by month basis the box costs £12.99 (with a discount for longer subscriptions) but the contents are generally worth far more than this as you can see if you do the maths.


If you’re persuaded to give Degustabox a go (and really, you should) you can claim a brilliant £5.00 off of your first box (making it just £7.99!) by entering the code XOQGC at the checkout. It’s been a pleasure to work with the brand regularly over the last couple of years and it’s without a doubt something that I will continue to purchase long after our partnership ends. I love the monthly surprise and excitement as well as the chance to discover products I’d otherwise pass up on the supermarket shelves.
