hey guys welcome to planning with crystal so today's unboxing video is
the guster box this is the june box for 2022 and this one's theme is picnic so we are gonna unbox
the box i'm gonna show you everything that comes inside and if you are brand new to the guster box
i have got a special discount code i'll put it on the screen and i'll put a link and discount
code and stuff under the video and if you get your first augusta box using my discount code
you will get five pounds off so your box will cost 7.99 instead of 12.99 including free uk delivery
and you will get two free extra gifts so they're doing a little bit of an extra promotion for me
right now and they are offering two extra gifts if you do get the box so if you do get the box
and you get the two extra gifts do let me know what they are because i have absolutely no idea
and if you use my link or discount code it is affiliated which means i'll get a small commission
for referring you which really helps to keep me making videos and i really appreciate all of
your support so in this video i'm going to unbox everything for you i'm going to tell you how much
it costs i'm going to tell you what it is we're gonna do a taste test and at the end i'll tell you
how much this one's box is worth let's dive right in so the first thing i see wrapped up in some
bubble wrap is a drink and this is by j20 and it's the spritz apple and watermelon lightly sparkling
so i've popped the lid off so i can have a little bit of a taste
oh yes i'm getting watermelon and apple but like watermelon and apples separately like one taste
after the other that's really nice actually and it's only 47 calories because i've done about you
but if you've noticed a lot of j20s are quite calorific quite full of like sugar and things
whereas this seems a little bit better that is actually really nice really refreshing and
tastes like a kind of proper summer drink the only thing i would say it's got like a metal
lid on that you need a special remover for so kind of ideal for a picnic because look if you're
wondering why i've got two so i get sent a box by deguster box to unbox which is like my pr box
i also buy a box because that's how much i love it so a single one of these is 265 which is quite a
lot but i guess that's what you'd expect to pay if you're in like a bar or a restaurant or something
a multi-pack is four pounds i don't know how many it's in the multi-pack it doesn't say
it says the single unit is available in selected bars and restaurants hey i was right
and the multi-pack is available in all the major supermarkets watermelon fresh apple a burst of
bubbles and you've got one refreshing irresistible drink light delicious sparkling chill in a nice
bucket for maximum elegance try pairing this little sparkler with salty and rich dishes and
if you thought it couldn't get any better there's only 55 calories a bottle it actually says 47
calories on it so there's beverage print i think next up we have got these two little bags from a
brand called urban fruit and funnily enough i'd actually already bought some of these separately
because i'm trying to eat a little bit healthier and snack a little bit healthier so place an order
with a brand called thing snackfully or something they do all kinds of different brands i actually
ordered this and a few other versions that they do they're all dried fruit basically and they're all
really surprisingly quite tasty so these are pineapple and it says gently baked pineapple one
of your five a day no added sugar 105 calories per pack they're also vegan friendly high in fiber and
gluten free as you would expect because they're literally just contain pineapple nothing else no
sugars no fillings no anything i actually can't see anywhere on this bag how much it actually
weighs i'm going to show you what it looks like though it is so so tasty obviously it's a little
bit different to eating a non-dried pineapple like a pineapple it is dried but the taste is still
very much there and obviously the super portable i love things like this to just throw my hand back
snack when i'm out and about rather than grabbing for something really unhealthy
so you kind of feel good when you're eating it and i like the taste of fruit and stuff so it works
for me it says delicious gently baked pineapple pieces that are perfect for snacking on the go
leave the mess of cutting a fresh pineapple behind but keep the same fruity taste
that will satisfy those sweet cravings you should get two in your box and they're available at
tesco sainsbury's waitrose and online avocado or amazon so this is what dried pineapple looks like
so it's a little bit sort of chewy as you'd expect texture-wise but literally just having a little
bit of the dried pineapple on your tongue it just gives you that real gorgeous pineapple taste they
are so good next up we've got some coffees in a can and these definitely are perfect for picnics
so these are boost iced coffees and you will get the rich and chocolatey mocha and the silky smooth
cafe latte one of each and they retail at pound each which is a pretty decent price to be fair
and these contain 145 or 142 calories per cancer not bad at all it's a 250 ml can and it's got
high caffeine content so not recommended for children or pregnant or breastfeeding women
i quite like these i find them a little bit of a nice little kind of sweet treat a little bit of a
chocolate hit really nice over ice in the summer and stuff or even just drinking out of the can
on the go so i'm really excited to see them in there and like i said i think a pound is pretty
reasonable i've definitely paid a lot more than that for these sorts of things on the go before
so it says great tasting premium quality iced coffee and four delicious flavors our blend
contains 60 robusta and 40 of ravica coffee origin from brazil and vietnam enjoy our delicious mocha
iced coffee rich and chocolatey alternatively try our velvety smooth iced cafe latte the perfect
blend of espresso and milk look out for the other two indulgent flavors doesn't tell us what they
are though so you'll get two one of each and they're available in local convenience stores
then we've got some sweets from chewits and this is one of the things my kids love about madagascar
boxes arriving there's always something sweet and a bit naughty and a bit fun that they love to grab
so we have got some things from chuits so this one at the bottom is your cherry stick pack these are
so good these are just like traditional chewetts and it is just like a one-off 30 gram pack
and then these are the sour lemon chews again all individually wrapped in each pack
don't bite off more than you can chew i've not had these ones before but i've definitely had these
so many times and retail wise you retail at 50 pence each it says get your claws on the latest
chewitts flavors sweet cherry and sour lemon both with a chewich tube you know and love individually
wrapped in a handy-sized stick pack chew it's suitable for vegetarians with no artificial
colors or flavors you should receive two items in your box and they're available at wilco
and convenience stores next up another sweet treat from kitkat so these are the kitkat bites
and seven sweets contain 100 calories so not too bad but they are pretty tiny i've already been
having a few so it is a 90 gram pack and it's worth 1 pound 59. it's a sharing bag it says
introducing kitkat bites kitkat bites are a delicious bite-sized pieces with a smooth
chocolatey center and crispy wafer pieces get together with friends or have a family
film night and share the delicious taste of kitkat bites absolutely no artificial
colors flavors preservatives and 100 certified sustainable cocoa beans and they're available
in all the major supermarkets outlets so they are pretty small this is what they look like
so it tastes just like standard kit captured in like a tiny format although i would say there is
more chocolate filling than there is the wafer so there's less of a crunch and less wafer in these
than you get from a standard kitkat that would be my observation next
up bit random for a picnic but i guess you could make it work we've got a couple of cans here
from napolina so they are ready to serve cans you could absolutely put them in your picnic
basket i don't know exactly what you'd do with them maybe sit them in a salad or something
but they are drained and ready to serve we've got quinoa and cannellini beans
and they are 150 gram cans or 140 grams when drained so these retail 75 pence each the napolena
drained and ready to serve range is perfect for lunch boxes and adding to salads on the go for
a quick and tasty protein alternative the range is naturally low in fat a great source of protein
and counts towards one of your recommended five a day you'll get two items one of each and they're
available in asda and on ocado next up we've got a kind bar i do like a kind bar so these are the
ones that are very heavily nutty so there's lots and lots of nuts and things in there so you'll get
one of the two bars you'll either get fruit and nut or maple pecan almond and this one is fruits
and nuts these retail 149 they're quite expensive but then i think that's because of how many nuts
they've got in and nuts are pretty pricey fruit and nuts is a classic flavor that combines whole
almonds with the perfect blend of cherries made with over 82 fruits and nuts all kind bars contain
whole nuts they are the first ingredient in rich in healthy fats kind maple pecan
almond bars are the perfect blend of a nutritious and tasty snack it gives you the same information
but it says they've got over 80 of nuts that will give you the energy and keep you going for longer
so you get one of two items and they're available in all the major retailers now i would say they're
nice they definitely give you that kind of crunch taste texture-wise they are quite filling in the
sense that they are nuts they can be kind of high in fat again not so they're like one of
those funny things they're good for you they're a healthy fat but if you are kind of trying to watch
what you're eating keep eating these isn't really gonna help the other thing i would say because
they are quite sticky and like the way they've packed the ingredients the nuts and stuff together
they've kind of covered it like a sticky substance i'm guessing it's like honey or something
it can be quite difficult when you're eating them they can kind of get stuck in your teeth and again
nuts so depending on whether that's an issue for you you might want to think about that before you
eat it i really like them i first discovered them on holiday in the u.s they sold them in
a starbucks like at the side of the road and it was the first time i tried them and i thought they
were like the best thing ever and then discovered this is many years ago and then discovered i can
get them over here anyway now you can so it's a 40 gram bar they are very nice i do enjoy them
and they are somewhat healthy um but just be aware of the other things like i said get stuck in your
teeth a little bit sticky and still quite high in kind of calories and fat and stuff if that's
something you're kind of watching and this bar has got 213 calories in so obviously healthier
than a chocolate bar but just as many calories if you see what i mean next up we have got a little
pouch here from whitworth and this is the protein by nature moroccan grains it's got 20 grams of
protein and it's ready to eat in two minutes it's also vegan and there's a 250 gram pack so
these retail at two pounds and it says inspired by the flavors of north africa our protein by nature
moroccan grains combine grains mung dal and soya containing all nine natural essential amino acids
with soul-warming ras-el-hanoot spices to create this versatile recipe it's packed with 20 grams of
protein and the recipe is great for a midweek family meal and they're available at tesco
morrison's co-op and sainsbury's so i definitely do enjoy the fact that we get things like this
in the gusty box the main things i like about the guster box as well as getting a lot of like
new to market branded products and the savings and stuff which are always way more than you
pay for them i love having things like this that are in the cupboard that are just there when you
just want to quickly make something you think okay i'll throw this in and it's like put a few other
bits and bobs and we've got ourselves a meal and then i also love all the nasty snacks that are in
here too so yes i'm sure this will be very nice i've had very similar products before and they're
extremely tasty and this is seriously easy to make you literally just can tear it open and
put it in the microwave for like a minute and a half it doesn't get much easier than that does it
and it says it's perfect with roasted vegetables grilled halloumi or lamb shank next up something
a little bit different we've got a cooking paste and this is by guinness now i didn't even know
that guinness made a cooking paste but there we go you've learned something new every day
this is a 200 gram jar there's a little glass jar and this retails at three pounds and is available
at tesco and it says your new secret ingredient stir the magic of guinness into your chili
casserole or shoe for a next level depth of rich sweet and smoky flavor a tablespoon is
enough to bring your favorite meals to life it's guaranteed to add oomph to just about anything
and it looks it it looks really quite rich and it's got 26 guinness beer in there as well um
it's got honey in there it's got red miso paste soy sauce but it's quite sweet and salty and tasty
next up we've got a box of snacks from a brand called plant tastic which is new brand to me
and these are flat jobs chocolate and cherry so tasty that you'd never guess it's plant-based
and these are 34 gram bars and we get five in here the only thing i would say about these bars
so i do think they're tasty i'm going to show you what they'll like in just a second but they're not
individually wrapped it's just like a plastic tray of them and then you just have to like take them
out so they're not very practical for taking out and about unless you're going to take them on a
picnic in like a plastic container or you're going to eat them all like in one go but i've just saved
the end off one because i was munching on one before so they are kind of a little bit dry not as
dry as it could be it's got like these seeds and stuff on top smells nice but it smells like spicy
bread if that makes sense i didn't get much in the way of chocolate or cherry from it but it was
okay so nice enough like a bit of loaf cake what healthy loaf cake you can tell they're healthy
i wouldn't say you could tell they were plant-based as such um but yeah i don't know
they're okay i don't think i'd repurchase them if you see what i mean choco luscious delight
your taste buds with delicious double chocolate and a cheeky cherry twist we've mixed chocolate
chips with glace cherries and crunchy sunflower seeds for the ultimate flapjack treat so tasty
you'd never guess it's plant-based they retail at two pound twenty-five and are available at tesco
okay but they kind of taste healthy enough that you know they're not a treat
and i definitely didn't seem to get any glare say cherries or chocolate in there at all it just
needs to be not present at all almost like they've been liquidized to the point where you just can't
see or taste them anymore but the seeds i got the seeds on top they're okay just not something
special then we have got a packet of kind of healthy crisps these are hippies
chickpea snacks and they're in sriracha chili and they are chickpea puffs these are really tasty
i've already had a bag so these are 88 calories per serving high in fiber gluten-free vegan plant
protein hot chili sriracha these super crunchy puffs are loaded with punchy spices including
paprika chili pepper and cumin our spicy low calorie puffed crisp alternatives are the perfect
guilt-free savory snack packed with plant power this flavor really packs a strong spicy punch and
they're available in most supermarkets so they are super spicy and i think sriracha is one of those
spices that it's quite distinctive you can tell it apart from just a generic spicy flavor if you
know what i mean i don't think you can really tell that from chickpeas i'm quite happy to eat either
potato chips or ones from made or made from other things like chickpeas i find
them really really nice and i don't think you can massively tell the difference
and then finally before i give you a box total the last thing is definitely not really picnic
friendly and it's definitely covered essential it's by no and these are the fish stock pots now
you get four like little individual pots and you just mix them into water and it's like ready-made
gravy but really really nice they also work very well in the slow cooker i've never had the fish
ones before we've had like vegetable ones and meat ones and chicken ones and all kinds of stuff and
they've always been fantastic i definitely would repurchase these so these are slowly simmered with
onion and garlic and are gluten free so they do sound quite tasty they retail at one pound 65 and
are available in the major supermarket chains such as waitrose sainsbury's and ocado delight
your taste buds and add an extra boost of taste to your fish dishes with no fish stock pot they're
gluten free and their delicious mix of ingredients simply melt in while you're cooking bringing an
irresistible depth of real fish flavour to a variety of home-cooked favorites so just before
i give you the box total there are a few leaflets and bits and bobs in here sometimes in these boxes
you get money off sometimes you just get like little information things so there's one here from
nepalina and it just tells you about the different ones they offer there is a little card about the
boost iced coffee and it says it's available on amazon and grab one at your local shop there is
a leaflet from tesco and this is all about the sauce guinness sauce and it kind of tells you
how you would use it in various kind of popular dishes and finally there is a discount code and
a little voucher thing this is for the deguster box selection now i've ordered this to guster
box selection so it's like a premium version of the gusty box and it's a one-off limited
edition so i've ordered it and just as soon as it's here i will unbox it for you so if
