June Degusta Box Review – Picnic

05/07/2022

It’s that time again, where I share my June Degusta box review. This months box is full of the perfect new items to take on a picnic. I don’t know about you, but I just love picnics. It’s not often I get to do them, so when I have the opportunity to, I make sure I do! And the items Degusta box sent me this month are so perfect for a well rounded, yummy picnic.

As always, this months box was filled with 12-15 new released snack items in the UK. The great thing about the box is that you pay less than you’d pay normal in the store (which is such a plus!). Their boxes are £12.99 a month and have a retail value of £20.

Degusta Box have kindly provided my readers with a discount code which gives £3 off your first order. Use code ‘ QZSK0’ at checkout.

Disclosure

I was kindly gifted these items by Degusta to review. However all thoughts and opinions are my own.

WHAT WAS IN MY JUNE BOX?

Kit Kat Bites

You cant really go wrong with Kit Kat can you? Such a staple chocolate all over the world. I really love how they have created beautiful bite sized versions.

URBAN FRUIT – BAKED PINEAPPLE

Its crazy because the day I got this box, I literally thought about getting some pineapple. And here it was. I really loved baked/dried fruit. And being low calorie I loved these even more.

NAPOLINA DRAINE QUINOA AND CANNELLINI BEANS

I mixed this can of quinoa into a salad and it was so yummy. I love that it was already prepared, so all I had to do was take it out of the tin. Such a handy thing to have.

GUINNESS COOKING PASTE

When I saw this in the box I was so confused at what it was, and then I was intrigued. I ended up giving this to my parents and they made a meat dish and added it and said how lovely it was.

BOOST ICED MOCHA AND CARAMEL LATTE COFFEE

I’m not a coffee gal so I did end up giving these to a friend. They said how yummy they were and tasted like such good quality coffee too.

J20 APPLE AND WATERMELON SPRITZ

J20’s are such a staple British drink and honestly this flavour was so yummy. A perfect drink on a hot summers day.

KIND MAPLE PECAN ALMOND BAR

I love all KIND bars, and this one was so yummy. Not too sweet either, which I enjoyed.

KNORR FISH STOCK POT

Stock pots are such staple items to have in your home whenever you’re cooking up a dish. I’m sure I’ll get my use out these!

WHITWORTHS MOROCCAN GRAINS

What I love about this product is how much protein is in there. Perfect for someone wanting to up their protein for the day!

PLANTASTIC CHOCOLATE & CHERRY FLAPJACKS

You can’t go wrong with flapjacks can you? These were the perfect balance of chocolate and cherry flavour. I’d recommend these!

What new snacks stood out to you in this June Degusta box review? What products have you never seen before?

I’m looking forward to next months box already!

To Blog or Not To Blog

20/06/2022

To blog or not to blog, thats the statement thats been circling around my mind for the last few months. I have ran this blog now for nearly 2 years. July is my 2nd blogging anniversary. It’s crazy to think how this blog helped me during the pandemic and really gave me such a great focus during that time. I look back on my blogging journey and remember all of the amazing opportunities I have had during the last 2 years. The friends I’ve met, the companies I’ve worked with and the amazing reader/follower base I have grown. I’m truly so grateful for this platform I have built.
