Here's a round up of all the products I received in the latest Degustabox:
Virtue Energy Water: Two cans of a brand I've never tried before - Virtue Sparkling Energy Water. Its a zero sugar, zero calorie drink that provides the same amount of natural caffeine as a cup of coffee. I received two flavours; Lemon & Lime and Berries. These have a subtle fruity flavour without any sweetness - it's definitely one for fans of sparkling water only.
Green's Egg Custard Mix: A little box of Green's Creamy Egg Custard Filling. The instructions are super easy and just need a pre-cooked pastry base and a little nutmeg to create a large custard tart. I'm looking forward to giving this a go!
San Miguel Gluten Free: Degustabox subscribers choose between an alcoholic or a non-alcoholic box. This bottle of San Miguel Gluten Free is included in the alcohol version only. It's a premium gluten free world lager and is now available at Tesco.
Miso Tasty: This Original Ramen Noodle Kit is included in the non-alcoholic version of the Degustabox only. Each kit contains 2 x noodle nests, 2x white miso paste and 2 x seaweed garnishes . I love noodles as a quick lunch and this ramen noodle kit was super easy and tasty.
Knorr Concentrated Stock: I usually just buy stock cubes so I was interested to find this bottle of concentrated Rich Beef Liquid Stock from Knorr. It's useful for just adding a few drops to sauces for an instant rich and meaty flavour.
Dream Rice Quinoa: A new plant based milk alternative with added calcium and vitamins. I always use dairy free products for adding to cereal and also for tea/coffee drinks. This Dream Rice Quinoa is perfect for cereal and has a creamy texture with a subtle rice flavour. Unfortunately I found it wasn't suitable for hot drinks as it mostly curdled straight away (I tried it cold from the fridge and room temperature).
Latin American Kitchen by Santa Maria: I've seen this new range in several supermarkets and it looks very appealing with a full range of Latin American flavours and meal ideas. I received the Coconut & Chilli Rice and a Peruvian Garlic Tomato Sauce. This is the Degustabox Product of the Month and there are five different rice flavours and five different sauces available!
Nestlé Cheerios Oat Crisp: A massive box of Cheerios Oat Crisp is also included in the September Degustabox. I reviewed the Cinnamon version of this cereal last year here- Cheerios Cinnamon Oat Crisp Review and it's since become on of our favourite cereals. We've both enjoyed this version too. It's just as delicious and we usually have it as a sweet topping to a plainer cereal like bran flakes.
Green & Black's Velvet Edition: A delicious looking new range from Green & Black's. The 70% Dark Chocolate variety is made using the finest Ghanian cocoa and is flavoured with Madagascan vanilla. I might save this one for baking as I don't usually enjoy dark chocolate on it's own.
Wild Planet Albacore Wild Tuna Steaks: This is ranked #1 in the US by Greenpeace for sustainability and is canned without any water or oil added. The tuna itself is much paler than the tinned tuna I'm used to and has a meatier and less 'fishy' flavour. It's absolutely delicious and I'll definitely be looking out for this brand in future.
Mentos Mints: A sharing pouch of Mentos sweets in Mint and Spearmint flavours. My son was excited to find this in the Degustabox as Mentos are his favourite!
Virtue Energy Water: Two cans of a brand I've never tried before - Virtue Sparkling Energy Water. Its a zero sugar, zero calorie drink that provides the same amount of natural caffeine as a cup of coffee. I received two flavours; Lemon & Lime and Berries.

Also included in the Degustabox was a 'fridge' voucher for a free pack of Seriously Spreadable Mature Cheddar Squares which are a fresh product and obviously couldn't be included in the box. Overall I was pleased with the wide selection of different products in the September Degustabox - there were plenty of useful groceries for my family. This month, I was especially pleased with the Wild Planet Tuna, Nestlé Cheerios and Latin American Kitchen. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this months Degustabox in the comments below.
