I've opened up another Degustabox* and this one revolves around items that would come in handy for a BBQ. Each month's box contains something different which you can check out in my previous Degustabox posts.
Meal Items
The Schwartz Authentic Flavour (2 x £0.85) recipe mixes can help bring a sweet and spicy twist to meals and allow for a quick and easy way to get some flavour in your food. The BBQ Pulled Chicken and Spicy Buffalo Wings mixes were both included in this box to give a couple of different options. If you are wanting something that you can use for a quick meal, then combining the Capsicana Brazillian Chili & Coconut Quick Cook Sauce (£1.99) with some chicken, peppers and onion would make a great dish. The Brazillian sauce can be customised to your own dietary needs. The last meal inclusion was the Spoon Apple + Peanut Granola (£3.70), which is a healthy alternative that includes wholegrain jumbo oats, crispy coconut chips, whole roasted peanuts and baked apple pieces. I'm normally fussy when it comes to breakfast cereals but I'm actually quite intrigued by this one.
Snack Items
The first one that jumped out at me was the Haribo Summer Frenzy (2 x £1.00) packs, with a Starmix Berry flavoured one and the other being Tangfastics Ice Cream & Sorbet. These are great sharing bags and the new flavours gave some very interesting combinations to help mix up what I've tried before. Another sweet item was the Walkers Pure Butter Shortbread Scottie Dogs (£1.95) which were one of my favourites from the box. I'm always partial to a bit of shortbread and the packaging added a nice touch. If you want something a little more on the healthy side, then the Light Bites - Superfood Fruit Bar (£1.25) might be for you. It's packed with goji berries, quinoa, chia seeds, strawberries, blueberries and pumpkin seeds. The last snack item which I think turned out to be my favourite was the Orignal O's Savoury Cumin and Sesame Nibbles (£2.99). They were very moreish and the cumin seasoning worked really well to give a nice light choice to pick at.
Drinks
For those who don't tend to drink but still wanted a glass of something tasty, then the Eisberg Sauvignon Blanc Alcohol-Free Wine (£1.49) will be a good choice. The single serving bottle is fresh, aromatic & full of gooseberry flavours and fruit. An option full of organic fruit juice that's blended with mineral water is the Berrywhite Organic Drinks (£1.39). It will count as one of your five a day and contains no added sugar, nothing artificial and no preservatives. The last items in the June Degustabox were the Westons Ciders (2 x £1.99). The Rosie's Pig Flat Tyre is a cloudy sparkling cider with rhubarb and the Rosie's Pig Handbrake is a cloudy sparkling cider with a unique fruity taste and damson. Overall looking at what's included in this box, it had a number of good products but I wouldn't say it was suited to being a BBQ box. If you fancy getting your own Degustabox, then don't forget to use the discount code 0GAWD at the checkout.
