Another month, another fun box of goodies from Degustabox. They send me their monthly boxes at no cost to me, so I can describe the contents to you.
This month's box didn't seem to have a theme, but there was still plenty of fun.
Karma Probiotics![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=cookistry044-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=0259c9b6421b32a56b5c1d540ba26cc8&_cb=1527200469556)
is a drink that includes ... well, probiotics. This is a little different, though, since the active cultures are kept separate from the liquid until you release them and shake the bottle. I guess that makes sense for stocking up. Unlike yogurt, that can get a little fuzzy if it's in the fridge too long.
Goya Maria Cookies ![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=cookistry044-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=cb6815db3d203c17e72fbe72b63467a4&_cb=1527200478157)
are from Spain and are apparently quite popular. There and here. I see variations of these at most of the stores around here that sell Mexican food. Yum, cookies.
Zaffi Taffy, the clean teeth taffy. These are a sweet treat that's supposed to be good for your teeth. Interesting idea, yes? These are sugar-free and a lot of other -frees as well, so they'd be safe for kids with the most common allergies. Tasty and good for you? Yeah, I'm down with that. Although this was the first time I tried the taffy, I have sampled some of the other candies from this candy.
Goya green salsa ![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=cookistry044-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=c76074c8ba4f55fc54d0d418ca24677f&_cb=1527200501694)
is worth checking out at your local grocery store. I've bought a whole lot of Goya products over the years, and I've always been happy with them. There are soooo many salsas, and it's a bit of a personal preference, but I have to say I liked this one, particularly with eggs. Like ... egg tacos.
Cello Whisps ![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=cookistry044-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=dba4c7e91f71f76649f47468203c3eff&_cb=1527200532797)
have come in these boxes before, and the info on this said "Back by popular demand." I'm not surprised. I can polish off a bag of these in no time. They're crispy cheese, and the one I got this time was cheddar. You can eat them like a cracker or add them to the top of a salad, or just snack on them. I wouldn't mind if someone sent me a whole case of these. Yeah, they're good.

barbecue sauce is pretty good stuff. There are a couple sauces that I return to for recipes, but when it comes to sauces for chicken or ribs, I tend to try different ones, so I was pretty happy to get this sample. There were two possible flavors that came randomly in boxes, either Honey Sweet or Smoky Apple. Now I just need some ribs. And chicken.
Post Grape Nuts Trail Mix Crunch ![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=cookistry044-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=00ce577fe004203e47a77a53c77f80b8&_cb=1527200678777)
is a granola with Grape Nuts, cranberries, and puffed barley. I passed this one along to someone else since I have more snacks around here than I can eat. It's an interesting idea, though. I like cereals as a snack, so it makes sense to granola-ize it.
Deep River Snacks ![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=cookistry044-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=ca359b81e1776c056220225c52f36a89&_cb=1527200696042)
thick cut potato chips arrived just as I was having a chip craving. The little bag disappeared pretty quickly. Munch, munch. These are thick cut, so they stand up to dips without crumbling into bits.
Indiana Kettlecorn Popcorn![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=cookistry044-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=a3d764344a73e6f13c04d2280c4c7f8f&_cb=1527200718236)
is sweet and salty and the little bag was just enough of a snack to ward off the grumpies. There were two bags of these in the box, so I got a chance to have a second sample.
Explore Cuisine chickpea pasta ![](https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=cookistry044-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=b20c6f8d93a037f38440674c830a8b68&_cb=1527200728949)
is a protein-rich alternative to wheat pasta. I'm fascinated by the wide variety of non-wheat pastas on the market these days. Although I'm not gluten-free, I still think it's a great idea to offer options, and since chickpeas have a relatively mild flavor, this makes a lot of sense. I'm actually saving these for a pasta salad ... and I might even add chickpeas to it. Because I'm crazy like that.
So there you go. A month's work of snacking and savoring. In case you missed it, I get these shipments at no cost from Degustabox.
