Who doesn’t love to get a box full of food surprises delivered to your door every month! I am certainly not one to complain and get rather exited when a new Degustabox is coming to my door!
Here is what the first Degustabox of the Year 2016 has got on offer for you:
Lets start with the savoury bits in the box:
#1 Finn Crisps – Original Thins are made from 100% rye wholegrain, baked with sourdough, giving them a distinctive tangy flavour. Original Thins reflect all that is good about healthy Nordic food, a quick and easy breakfast or snack on-the-go, delicious with any topping, great for adding crunch and flavour to cooking. Rich in fibre, essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
I love Finn Crisps and enjoyed mine with some creme cheese and jam as a snack through the day its very crunchy and i love the flavour to it and i probably like it even more because it has my
sons name on the package hehe!
#2 Yushoi Snapea Rice Sticks are a baked snack made using green peas. As a healthier alternative to fried potato crisps they are less than 99 calories per 21g serving, suitable for vegetarians and vegans, nut and dairy free, high in fibre and a good source of protein.
They tasted alright the flavour Sweet Chilli & Lemon are not really my kind of taste but they have other flavours too.
#3 Konjac – Slim Noodles Those are UK’s No.1 Health Product and are made from organic
Konjac flour and oat fibre (Juroat™), Slim Noodles is a healthy alternative to regular noodles
that Helps You Lose Weight. It has Zero Carbs only 9 calories per 100g serving, it’s Fat-free,
Gluten-free and Vegan friendly.
I am a big noodle and stir fry fan and was looking forward to cooking the Slim Noodles but i just didn’t feel the love or taste for them.

#4 Amoy’s New Taste of Asia range brings delicious cooking sauces in a convenient pouch, allowing you to prepare truly authentic Asian dishes at home. From classics such as
Thai Green Curry to dishes like Malaysian Laksa and Thai Massaman Curry,
our new range offers a selection to suit every taste.
I got the Malaysian Laska and Thai Massaman Curry sauces to try but those are not flavours i would reach for personally when food shopping but the ingredient list sounded nice and its a good sized sauce pouch for the average 4 headed family.

#6 At Fruit Bowl we aim to help mums by providing handy fruit snacks to naturally fuel their kids’ daily fun. To help make eating fruit a bit easier, and without the mess or waste, we have created an irresistibly tasty range of fruit snacks packed with real fruity goodness.
The kids are huge snack eater and i try to give them as much fresh fruit as i can but sometimes it has to be a quick and easy solution for example on the way home from school they both have some snacks to help them keep their energy up and those Blackcurrant snacks from Fruit bowl are the perfect tasty and healthy car snack for us!

#7 Conscious Chocolates – raw, organic, vegan, hand –made, truffle-like chocolate bars.
Plain Jane is our smooth, award-winning bar that we base the range on.
They also got Intense (a dark-chocolate lovers delight) and Chili Hot bar (an immune system booster with all chocolate taste first and a warming chili tingle to finish).
In the box i found Plain Jane and i am not a huge chocolate bar fan anymore so it was a bit too raw for me but i can see it work grated over a vanilla icing covered cupcake to make it pretty.

#8 Clarks Carob fruit syrup – A naturally sweet low GI syrup that is made by extracting the fruits from the Mediterranean Carob plant. It can be used everyday to sweeten drinks and can be used in baking. It is suitable for vegetarians and vegans and diabetics as part of a controlled diet.
Now this sounds like the perfect healthy partner to accompany a tasty pancake and it didn’t
disappoint it had just the right amount of sweetness!

And last but not least here are the drinks:
#9 Coldpress Golden Delicious Apple Juice is cold pressed (not heat pasteurised) so it tastes fresher and retains more nutrients than conventional pasteurised apple juice. So you get more nutrients including Vitamin C and other antioxidants with each sip of Coldpress.
I loved the taste of this apple juice because its not overpowering nor too sweet which i find most apple juices are its perfect and the small sized bootle would make it a
great car drink for the kids (or myself).

#10 Internationally recognised as the finest beer in China, Tsingtao is an incredibly smooth and easy to drink pilsner. Founded by The Anglo-German Brewery Co. Ltd in 1903 in the seaport of Qingdao in North Eastern China, it is still only ever brewed here using pure Laoshan Mountain spring water. Our master brewers select only the finest malt and hops and blend rice, from the paddy fields of Western China, to mellow the bitter aftertaste, making it one of the most ‘drinkable’ beers around.
Beer tasting is Mr. C’s speciality and seeing as him loving German beer i was sure that this would be a hit with him and he said it had a nice taste to it!
