You would always find some Innocent products in my shopping trolley. I would usually buy juices and smoothies. My 8 year old son loved the Innocent fruity water as he only drinks water or juice, he really liked a mix of the two. He had them finished in no time.

He loved both flavours and at a push he said he liked apples and mangoes more. I think it's great that they are 50% fruit and 50% water with no weird stuff!

My son would like to see more flavours, like banana and strawberries or banana and blueberries. I would buy these drinks again as he really enjoyed them and I feel they are a healthier option. I wouldn't put this in his lunchbox as once opened, he would have to drink it all but would use these for day trips out and for drinking at home.

I am aware of the innocent brand. my local supermarket sells many innocent products, some of which I buy from time to time. Namely, innocent smoothies for my children which the enjoy.

Both of my my children enjoyed and finished the two types of innocent water you sent to my house. They both preferred the peach and apple flavour because it was a bit more flavourful than the apples and mangos.
I do like the fact that there are no additives, preservatives or added sugar in innocent water. It's difficult to find products that can boast such benefits. In particular I'm thankful that there is no added sugar (a 21st century health nightmare as current research demonstrates).
If you were to ad another flavor, my children would like to see some type of berry that packs a flavourful punch.
I would buy innocent fruit water again simply because it has many health benefits (as simple as hydration) without indirectly poisoning my children with a ton of sugar or aspartame. However, I wouldn't buy the product for either of my children's lunch-boxes simply because the school they go to have a policy in place that asks us not to include packaged food or drinks for lunch (this is part of their environmental policy).
Of course there are always improvements to be made. Though not too many!
Personally, I have to say both my children have trouble removing the straw and getting it into the carton partly because of the shape of the carton and placement of the hole. in terms of removing the straw, I think it would be a better design if you simply had to pull the plastic rather than pushing the tip of the straw through it. I also personally feel a single line showing a glycemic index score would be beneficial. I'd imagine the GI of these products is quite low. These are just minor observations though.
Thanks for allowing me and my children to participate.
Sincerely,Catherine Curtis

Thanks so much for picking us for this trial. We regularly buy the innocent smoothie range, so iI was interested to see what my daughter would make of this fruity water range. And she loved them!! She particular liked the Apples and Mango flavour. I would like to see mixed berry or strawberry flavoured one.
I esp liked the fact that the product had no additives, flavourings or added sugar, as I find it hard to get my daughter to drink water without having to add a cordial to it. Its also nice now to have an extra choice to bring out for lunch/dinner with us as we normally bring one of the smoothie ranges with us. As a result of that I will def be including this product as part of my weekly shop.
Thanks again for including us in this trial!!

When I heard about this trial, I was very keen to take part. Even the name “Innocent fruity water” sounds innovative and clever so I was delighted to have been chosen to try it and review it.

Innocent drinks are tops in our house, very popular and they form part of the shopping every week. Specifically we buy the individual kids juices and smoothie cartons for lunch boxes and the large bottles of juice for breakfasts. We always buy the orange juice with bits and the apple and mango, they go down a treat and really kick start the day for us all. The kids love all the varieties of smoothies but I find that the strawberries, blackberries and raspberries flavour is the fastest one to disappear from the fridge. I feel much happier that they drink smoothies and juices rather than fizzy drinks as they are a healthy way for them to increase their fruit intake while low in fat and sugar. It also saves on visits to the dentist so I refuse to let them have fizzy drinks, except on special occasions.

I also regularly buy the Innocent veg pots for healthy dinners. I like the Bombay Curry and the Indian Daal Curry but the Carribean is probably the most popular with our gang as it’s not as hot. I love the fact that they have 3 portions of veg and are low in fat. Easy to serve up and saves me having to spend hours slaving in the kitchen. The kids also love the noodle pots for after school treats or lunch times at weekends, especially the Thai Tom Yum flavour. I think they like the novelty of the noodles, makes a change from potatoes, meat and veg. It’s not a lie to say we are big customers and very loyal fans of Innocent products. The idea of introducing a new product to the already impressive range certainly piqued my interest!

The Innocent fruity water went down a treat, we all loved them. Every drop was finished in 2 days!! Personally, I liked how light and refreshing they were. I definitely think they need to be refridgerated beforehand to get the full benefit of a cool burst and to fully quench thirst. Definitely the apple and peach was the preferred one for the kids but as for myself, I liked both flavours equally. The kids love biting into juicy peaches in the summer time. Perhaps the peach flavour reminded them of picnics and sunshine and holidays!!

The great attraction to me was the fact that I know what is in these drinks. No additives, flavours, sugars etc is an important factor that I consider when buying anything for them to consume. I always feel guilty when I put coke or fanta in the trolley as I know it’s no good for kids health or their teeth but a drink like this has none of these worries for me so I’m happy to let them drink it as much as they want. I have an awful job trying to get them to drink water, no matter what encouragement I offer, they will not drink enough of it. I think this is a clever, sneaky way of making sure that they are fully hydrated in a healthy way.

I would love to see a berries version of this product. The kids love all berry – flavoured drinks (strawberry, blackberry, blueberry, raspberry) so I think a “mixed berry” flavour would be delicious and would certainly feature in our weekly shop!

Without a doubt, I will buy this drink again. It’s a new and novel way of ensuring the kids drink sufficient water and also get a portion of their required daily fruit and veg intake. As I already trust and value Innocent products, I know what to expect when I buy them and I have never before been disappointed. I would hope that they will launch the products at an affordable price. The problem I find is that fizzy drinks and other brands tend to be a lot cheaper so it’s tempting to try to reduce the bill by choosing these others low cost brands. I know in the long run, it’s all about value and there’s not much to be gained nutritionally from many of these other so called “thirst quenchers”. I will definitely buy Innocent fruity water for lunch boxes and I will strongly encourage other mum’s to investigate for themselves.

The drinks are pleasant to taste, refreshing, light and ideal for post sports or other activities. I find that after a session in the gym, they are the perfect tonic for me. As for improvements to the product, my only suggestions would be an affordable price, a wider range of flavours and a strong marketing campaign to increase awareness. If kids see ads for colourful, attractive and fun drinks, they will want them!

Thanks for allowing us take part in this, the kids felt so important trying both flavours & discussing them. We are well aware of the Innocent brand in our house, the kids love the smoothies in particular and I love the fact that they are so good for them.
In terms of the waters, my two kids prefered the apple & peach one but said the other one was nice too. My daughter loves water as her prefered drink normally & she said she would like them ocassionally but still opt for plain water as a first choice. My son isn't a big fan of water & he said the same wich surprised me as I thought the fruit flavour may have won him over. I don't think I'll be buying these in the future but as a product I think they are brilliant for kids who may drink them instead of juices/fizzy drinks.
Thanks again for letting us try them.

Hi there, thanks a mil for letting us try this new product! :)

I sometimes buy the Innocent Smoothies for myself, hubby and daughter in our food shopping. I've always loved them! Hearing about this new fruity water was exciting because I like to know that what my daughter eats and drinks is very healthy. Seeing that this product is half fruit and half water made me all the more interested as I know it's good for you.

My daughter really really enjoyed them, perhaps even more so then the smoothies! Her favourite flavour was Apple & Mango as she enjoys foods and drinks with mango flavour. I would love to see more new flavours of this fruity water in the future, flavours like blackcurrant, orange or strawberry would be really yummy.

I would definitely buy this product again as healthy eating is very important to me, and they would be very handy for lunchboxes! A nice healthy but very tasty treat :)

Thanks again for letting me try the drinks, I'll know now to buy them in future!

Our house are big fans of Innocent products so we were delighted when we got chosen for this trail. We have tried the smoothies before, all flavours and would purchase them occasionally as a treat as the children love them.
The packaging of the Innocent fruity water was adorable like all the other innocent products and kept the kids busy for a while. My youngest loved the drink, both flavours and said it was delicious and fruity. My eldest enjoyed it, however thought the flavour was a bit weak and could have been a little stronger. However that didnt stop him drinking 4 of them :) When asked if they would like another flavour, strawberry and raspberry was suggested!
I think the product is a great way to encourage children to drink more water; the packaging is fun and the flavours are good with no additives, flavourings and added sugar. Therefore I would definitely purchase this product again, but maybe just as a treat due to the cost!

We were delighted to be picked to try the new fruity water, my kids are big fans of the smoothy range. They loved both flavours equally and had them drank in a few minutes.
The size is perfect for there lunch boxes and I love the fact you can recycle the packaging.
We would llike to see a variety of flavours and sizes any thing with strawberry and orange goes down well. Bigger size carton for home use as well.
I will look forward to seeing the different flavours in the shops for my kids too try.

Hi thank you so much for sending us out some testers

These are so so nice. My son can be very picky about what he drinks all the time. I have to say i have never bought the innocent smoothie product as i was always worried he would not like them. But he absolutely loves them. To be honest we cant really pick between the two flavours we all love them so much and I will most definitely be buying them again. Also i put them in the freezer and once frozen cut the top off them and he had nice little ice pops which was great. Some much better than buying ice pops full of sugar etc.

thank you again and we will definitely be buying these again :-)

Hi,
Thanks so much for choosing my family for this trial! We are aware of Innocent brand and hav tried other Innocent products before the trial. Our LO loves Innocent smoothies and juices in attractive packaging.
Mat really enjoyed the new product, he called it JUICE :) and liked both flavours we got- apple/peach and orange/mango.
We really like the fact that this water is made with natural juice and pure spring water, because we try to stick to products that are free from any flavourings and are low in sugar.
We think another nice flavour could be blackcurrant or blackcurrant/apple??
We really enjoyed the trial and will buy this product again.
Thank you.
Rgards,
Dina and Matvey

Firstly, thanks for choosing us to test the new Innocent product, my son was so exctied to be an offical tester! We always buy Innocent smoothies in our weekly shop and they always disappear - a firm favourite amoungst all of us :-)
We all tried both flavours and have to say we were delighted with the product. They were refreshing and a prefect addition to meals and snack times! Apple and mango was our favourite and we look forward to some more mixes coming along in the future. To repeat some of the other feedback, berry flavours would be high on our list of wants.
The Innocent product line is a great resource for busy familes - it is so reassuring for a busy mum to know that by handing over a delicious Innocent water / smoothie/ juice, my child is getting the best of ingredients with nothing added. Thank you for this - honestly it really helps me sneak lots of goodness into my sons diet.


Best of luck with the new product, it will be an addition to our weekly shop and will recommend to friends and family.
Thanks again,
O'Reilly Family

Thank you so much for choosing us!
We are big fans of the Innocent brand in our house. My 4yo daughter loves the fruit tubes and calls them "squeezes". She and my 7yo son adore the smoothies (and have loved the magnet promotion!). So when we found out we got to trial the Fruity Water, we were pretty excited.
They were a HUGE hit!! Not only did the 2 older children drink them up but my 8 month old son was delighted with them. I liked that he was getting a mixture of real fruit juices and water. I am not a big fan of diluted juice, mostly because of artificial sweeteners and the low percentage of actual fruit juice. Therefore, the Fruity Water was approved by the children taste testers and approved by the Mommy nutrition checker!!

Many thanks for selecting us for the trial.

I tend to buy the Innocent smoothies on a fairly regular basis for my 4 and 5 year old. More recently my 14 month old has been picking up the cartons and trying them too!

Both of the older children enjoyed both flavours, although they each picked a different one as their favourite. The little guy loved both flavours equally and I was happy to let him drink them as there was nothing in them other than juice and water. I would love to be a regular buyer of these drinks, but price would be a definite consideration for our family on a budget.

I would like to see a strawberry flavour also. My son's school has a water only policy for drinks, otherwise I would consider buying these for his lunchbox. I would however buy them for afternoon drinks.

Thanks again for choosing us!
