I would have to say probably the greatest creation of the
21st century.

they are nice, just so expensive

I do like the one meant for kids though, think it's strawberries/raspberries? Yummy

They are fab, the cartons are very good value £3.25 for a litre which is 4 days worth.

I used to get them when they were 2 for £4. Now they're 2 for £5 when they're on offer. A 25% hike. I always thought they were good value when they're on those offers, but as yet I can't stump up an extra £1! seems like a big jump, and quite unexpected.

They are nice, I don't usually drink them though - I buy them for my Grandad.

I'm currently trying the PJ's ones on at £1.99 at the mo, they're very nice as well, obviously not as nice, but a good alternative.

Some of the Supermarket own brands are just as good. ASDA do a lovely Strawberry and Banana one.

mmm, I don't think they are so good. They use concentrate and have added sugar. Fine if you just want a fruit flavoured drink, but no health benefits at all.
Ditto P&J.

Tesco have them on offer. £2 for the standard 1 litre jobs and £2.50 for the Superfoods version.

I don't think ASDA's have any added sugar and yes they do use concentrate but they are half the price of Innocent's ones.

Love them.
My favourite one has to be the pineapple, coconut smoothie. All this talk of food and drink in this forum is making me go hungry.
The Innocent Smoothies are a bit expensive though. At my local Asda, they costs 2 pounds per 2 litre carton.

yeah, it's the superfoods one that used to be 2 for £4 now 2 for £5. (^25%!)

I don't know if the price of Goji berries or Acai has suddenly increased but I know the number of innocent adverts on the TV has gone up. So I wonder if the price increase is down to that.

I've got 4 in my fridge at the moment - love them!

The Tesco own brand ones are ok - they're not made from concentrate and have no added sugar. Though sometimes I make my own smoothies with pure mixed fruit juice (not concentrate), a probiotic yoghurt and a banana.

They're lovely but my nutritionist has told me I'm not allowed to eat them! Apparently because the fruit is pulped the sugar from the fruit goes much more quickly into your bloodstream to give you a sugar rush. (Same with fruit juice) You're then more likely to have a slump later on. I've got ME and so have to try and manage my energy levels more effectively and the nutritionist told me to eat certain kinds of whole fruit instead which because they take longer to digest make the sugar levels more even throughout the day. I was eating two smoothies a day!

Apparently you don't get any fibre from smoothies either, so whole fruit is much better - but thanks for that info.

Innocnet's vanilla bean & honey is stunning although Boots do do one too which is just as good and about 70p cheaper.
PJ's pinapple & coconut is a beauty too!!

M&S do a lovely vanilla bean type smoothie. Think it has honey in it too?

I do like any smoothie to be honest. But Innocent are really nice.

I can't stand smoothies with yogurt in (though I do love yogurt) and can't have any where the banana is the predominant taste -yuck!

Ever turned one upside down? They have captions on the bottom of the bottle. I got one that read 'stop looking at my bottom' once

I'm quite partial to the odd Vanilla & Honey creation, but they are expensive for what you get.

The ingredients have things like 'Double Decker Bus' in them as well.
