At the end of June I received a Degustabox, it’s theme was picnic. If you have not heard of Degustabox before it is a monthly food and drink box and the foods and drinks in it are surprise to you until it reaches you. There are usually two boxes available, one with alcohol and one without.
This is what was in my Picnic box;
Zeo – At Zeo we make lightly carbonated soft drinks blending 98% spring water blended with naturally extracted fruits and botanicals. For sweetness we add a tiny amount of Stevia with a touch of sugar. Our four crisply refreshing flavours are crafted in small batches and are under 30 calories per bottle.
We received Peach & Grapefruit and Zesty Lime flavours. I don’t think there is a Zeo drink that we don’t like and I would have to say my favourite at the moment is the Peach & Grapefruit flavour. I put these in the fridge and enjoyed them while sitting it the garden enjoying the weather.
They cost around £1.29
Icycl –Unique and delicious frozen vodka icepops From zingy lemon & lime to crisp orchard apples, Icycl frozen vodkaicepops are available in a selection of delicious and refreshing natural fruit flavours. With 6.4% kick of vodka contain in a handy suck-as-you-go pouch, you can take your party anywhere.
Available from www.31dover.com
I received an apple flavour Icycl unfortunately it had popped in the box so I didn’t get to enjoy it.
It did smell nice though and I would probably by them for summer parties.
These cost £2.50 each.
Coconom – Coconom Organic Coconut Sugar is a delicious and completely natural alternative (1:! replacement) to sugar made from 10% Coconut tree blossom sap. Pure, Unrefined and great in baking, on porridge, smoothies and hot drinks, Coconom has nothing artificial added, is Vegan-approved, Soil Associated certified and Ethically Sourced.
I have not tried this because I do not like coconut, however I will probably use it when baking something.
Vybe Juice – Vybe’s 100% natural coconut water comes from Thailand’s sweet, delicious coconuts. It is full of valuable nutritional minerals and electrolytes. The electrolytes in the coconut water help to hydrate and maintain body’s PH levels. Vybe’s coconut water is fat free and cholesterol free, ad an ideal addition to a daily diet for those who wish to live a healthy life.
I am not a lover of coconut and my family are not keen on coconut water but I managed to use it by adding it to a smoothie recipe. The family didn’t even know it was in there! I do think it is a little expensive for size of the bottle at £1.89.
Rekorderlig – Made from the purest Swedish spring water, Rekorderlig Strawberry – Lime Cider perfectly embodies a Swedish summer with the fragrance of freshly picked strawberries and a hint of lime peel. Its unique and fresh flavour has ensured Strawberry – Lime is now our most popular Rekorderlig flavour in the world. It is the ideal summer refreshment and is perfect served cold over ice with a squeeze of lime and sprig of fresh mint. ALC 4%.
This is by far my favourite alcoholic drink of choice and I buy it frequently. It tastes of juicy strawberries sand to be honest you can’t even taste the alcohol in it. I do usually buy a bigger bottle when I buy it but now I know that it is sold in 4 packs I will probably buy it like that instead.
Available in a 4 pack at around £1.49 per bottle.
Love Chin Chin – “Chin Chin” is a famous sweet snack popular in West Africa. Love Chin Chin – developed from a family recipe and manufactured in the UK – is the West African sweet snack sensation that ‘crunches like a biscuit, tastes like a cake!’ Made from 100% natural ingredients it’s the tastiest snack you may never have tried. A crunchy, tasty bite that’s a real treat at any time of the day and perfect for sharing. Available in Vanilla, Cinnamon, Lemon or Chilli flavours to tempt and suitable for Vegetarians and dairy free.
In all honestly I did not try these as I do not like the flavour I received which was cinnamon. My husband does though and he devoured them pretty quickly. He said they were weird to start with but really liked them and would buy them again.
A packet of these costs around £1.00.
Melba – Melba Thins Multigrain are now also available at Tesco. Garnish with a dash of paté , cheese or salmon, topped with cucumber, avocado or tomato. Or whatever else you fancy. The perfect accompaniment to drinks with friends, a nice glass of wine.
These were like mini slices dried toast, they are what I would call bite size and I love them with a little bit of cream cheese and cucumber on top. They are in small packs inside the box and cost around £1.39 per box.
Brioche Pasquier – PITCH Chocolate 6 Pack: This brioche has a delicious chocolate flavour filling with a hint of hazelnut that makes a tasty sweet treat.

PITCH Chocolate Chip 4 Pack: Now available in a pack of four in Tesco Express stores, a delicious choc chip brioche roll that is individually wrapped for you to enjoy anytime of the day, perfect for lunch boxes and summer picnics.
I love these and was so pleased to see them in my box. My favourite of course was the PITCH chocolate as the chocolate was so gooey and delicious. I did also like the Chocolate chip ones too. My only problem was that there is not enough in a pack!. They both cost around £1.70 each.
Kallø – Whether it’s lunch, brunch or breakfast, the Kallø range of wholegrain rice and corn cakes work deliciously with all sorts of savoury and sweet toppings, they are even perfect on the go – which means you can have your cake and eat it!
We had not tried or heard of these before, we received Sea Salt and Vinegar Corn & Rice Snacks which reminded me a lot of another brand on the market and they did taste equally as nice.
We also received Belgian Milk Chocolate with Caramel Pieces rice cake thins . These were completely different from anything I have tasted before. But I did really enjoy them.
These costs around £1.69 for the Belgian Chocolate with Caramel Pieces and 70p for the Sea Salt and Vinegar Corn & Rice Snacks.
