Thank you for selecting us to try out the innocent juices and smooties, we all enjoyed trying them out!

1. Have you/Do you water down juices,

I don't water down regular Juices but do tend to give the kids sugar free diluted drinks or plain water for school.

Are you aware of the innocence brand.


Yes.

3. Have you tried innocent Products before?


we have tried the smoothies.

4. Did your kids enjoy innocent juicy drink ?

Yes they loved them...we all did, older kids included!!!!!

5. Did they drink it all ?


Yes every last drop, but harder to get the last bit from the smooties though!

6. Which recipe did your child prefer

They couldn't decide on this one....actually said it was a hard question and did they have to choose between them.... so both equally

7. Do you think it is a healther option.
yes they are.

8. Did you like the fact each carton has no additives etc/

Yes I did.

9. Nice addition to a lunch box ?


Very nice they taste so much better than the concentrate juices or the diluted drinks I give them so they tell me!

10. How did innocent Juicy drink compare to others, you might give your children?


The fact that they are pure juices with no additives makes them a healthier option than the suger free concentrate ones I would normally give them

11. Handy way of giving 1 of 5 a day?


Yes but they eat a lot of fruit and veg anyway so it's not a problem to get their five a day into them

12. Would you buy them again ?


Yes but it's the smooties they prefer most of all as did I

13. Would your child like another variety,


Yes, they said they would really like a blackcurrant juice drink

14.Did your little one prefer juicy drinks or the smoothies.


They really liked the juices but I have to say the smoothies would be their choice, I love them too they taste so fresh and have great flavour in them. But I buy them more for a treat than an everyday thing as would be expensive to buy for five kids as the three older kids would help themselves anyway!

Normally water fruit juices down or if I am giving a concentrate it is mainly water. Use the Innocent smoothies for both my daughter and myself. My daughter liked the juice and drank it all when given she said that her favourite was the apple.

I did feel a bit better giving her the juice as it had the spring water added. I do like that there is nothing else added. It would be a welcome addition to her lunchbox as I find that she is not drinking the water I give her.

Try not to give my daughter juice but like that the innocent juice has the water and not additives. Like that it is one of her five a day and it makes life a bit easier too. My daughter does eat fruit and veg but some days we don't quite make the five!

I would buy it again as my daughter liked it and it has no additives and is not from concentrate.

My daughter loves blackcurrant and is also a big fan of eating melon so I'd say she would enjoy a melon juice.

She did prefer the smoothies but I do think that was just because she has been having them for so long.

In addition to all of that I loved the juice cartons, mainly because I always struggle to get the straw into the smoothies

1. Have you/Do you water down juices,
I always dilute juice not just for my 2.5 yo but also for myself!

2. Are you aware of the innocence brand.
Absolutely, 2.5 yo would easily have 2-3 smothies a day if we let him!

3. Have you tried innocent Products before?
See above answer

4. Did your kids enjoy innocent juicy drink?
Yes but he would prefer the smoothies

5. Did they drink it all?
He did of course but in the case of the juices and the smoothies the last bit is always hard to get to.

6. Which recipe did your child prefer?
I would say the apple

7. Do you think it is a healther option?
Absolutely, no added anything but water? It has to be. Still he has a sweet tooth so I try to limit the amount of juice he has per day

8. Did you like the fact each carton has no additives etc.?
Absolutely, see answer above

9. Nice addition to a lunch box?
We are not at school age however they were handy for a family picnic (in the car due to the rain of course).

10. How did Innocent Juicy drink compare to others you might give your children?
They are a good alternative given the no additives and watered down option.

11. Handy way of giving 1 of 5 a day?
I would say so if you had a child who had trouble getting their 5 a day. Fortunately my guy loves his fruit so we don't have a problem there.

12. Would you buy them again?
Probably not at the moment as at his age I am happy to just give him a watered down mouthful of juice with breakfast and stick to the smoothies for a snack. However if we were at school age, I would consider it.

13. Would your child like another variety?
My guy loves grape juice and also pineapple juice

14.Did your little one prefer juicy drinks or the smoothies?
Smoothies

We enjoyed the opportunity to try the juices - thanks a million!

Hi, thanks so much for choosing us to take part, we had a great time testing all the juice and smoothies and everybody was delighted to be part of the trial.

1. Have you/Do you water down juices,
Yes - depending on the type of juice, - concentrated juice we add alot of water to a very diliuted taste, real fruit juice apple & orange juice we do not water down

Are you aware of the innocence brand.
Yes - althought never new there was juice's thought it was smoothies

3. Have you tried innocent Products before?
Yes we have tried the smoothies,

4. Did your kids enjoy innocent juicy drink ?
Yes they all loved it my 6 year old son and 5year old daughter did all the testing for me.

5. Did they drink it all ?
yes, - but often the smoothies where hard to finish.

6. Which recipe did your child prefer,
Orange Juice.

7. Do you think it is a healther option.
Yes - love that's its healther as i ofter worry about giving juice to the kids.

8. Did you like the fact each carton has no additives etc/

Yes - im always on the look out for food and drinks without additives etc

9. Nice addition to a lunch box ?
Unfortunatley we where not able to use them for lunchbox as because they can't be re-sealed they would spill if put back into school bags and im kids drink as both little and big breaks, It would be great if the juice drinks could be produced in little re-sealable bottles (like the tipperary water bottles, or bottle with the sports lids)



10. How did innocent Juicy drink compare to others, you might give your children?
Innocent is definitely the healthier option, - we generally give diluted drinks to the kids in their drinks bottles

11. Handy way of giving 1 of 5 a day?
Brillant as my too are fussy eaters and we have to work very hard to get them to eat their 5 a day, this is a brillant way to sneak an extra one in.

12. Would you buy them again ?
Yes - i would buy them as they provide one of the portions of fruit, but would prefer them in resealable bottles


13. Would your child like another variety,
mostly mine liked the orange, so any varities with orange would be great, maybe orange and carrot, my children also like blackcurrant so blackcurrant in the juice would be good or blackcurrant with apple or melon.

14.Did your little one prefer juicy drinks or the smoothies.
they all preferred the juice by far, they did think that the smoothies were a bit too thick as a drink, they would preferred them as a compote pot that they could eat with a spoon so it would be more like a snack pot than a drink.



I just want to say thank you again for allowing us to be part of the test and we hope any information we provided you is helpful, if you would like any more information please do not hesitate to contact me.

thanks

These are little cartons of heaven!!!!!! They are so delicious and tasty. Kids loved them and the smoothies as always

Yes i used to water down the juice they drank.

We are very aware of the innocent brand as we sometimes buy the smoothies.

Kids
loved the juicy drinks, one preferred the orange while the other
preferred the apple and they both drank the cartons right down to the
last drop!!!

I think these little cartons are by far a very much
healthier option because they are made from pure fruit juice and spring
water and they dont have any of those horrible added extras and they're
not made from concentrate. They are also perfect for kids lunchboxes.

i
preferred giving my kids these little cartons of juice over their
regular juice because of the fact they are made from pure fruit juice
and the orange juice doesn't have the little kick that you get with most
other orange juices.

My daughter can be a very fussy eater so
the fact that these are made of real fruit juice is a great way to give
her her five a day without the little standoff we regularly have and i
would definately buy these again for that fact and because they haven't
stopped asking for more cartons!

My kids love all flavours but blackcurrant is their favourite

My kids loved both the smoothies and the juicy drinks equally the same.

Tried out these drinks for myself and i have to say the orange juciy drink is very delicious

Thanks for chosing us to be part of the trial!

1 - I water down concentrate juice but not real fruit juics

2-Yes but i was only aware of the smoothies

3-Yes the smoothies

4-The juicy drinks went down a treat, always asking for more

5-The juices were always drank but the smoothies were to much and to thick to finish

6-Apple juice by far

7-Yes and it helps that they are getting part of their 5 a day :)

8-This is the best part

9-Little one is not yet at school but they were handy to pack in his day bag when were were out and about but i did feel that sometimes they were wasted as the don't close, if he didn't drink it all i had to put it in the bin as i couldn't put it back into his bag.

10-They are a really nice change to water or concentrate juice

11 - Brilliant way as it can be hard to get 5 a day in especially when you are on the move

12 - Yes but only the Juice as they smooties were to much for my little one

13 - He is a big fan of Apple but also likes blackcurrent so maybe a blackcurrent juice would be nice

14 - Juicy drinks each time :)



Thanks again for letting us be part of the trial!!

Thank you for the opportunity to take part in this trial ! We all loved it..even down to the bag it was delivered in :)



1. Yes, I have watered down juice for my kids - we use diluted juices regularly, but I have often added water to apple and orange juice. The pure juice was often a bit too strong for my guys.



2. We love the innocent brand in this house - my fridge is decorated with magnetic letters from the smoothie packs!

3. Yes, as above, we like the innocent brand here. I buy the smoothies and the fruit tubes (like frubes).

4. Yes all 4 of my children loved the juicy drinks - mine range in age from 3 yrs to 9 yrs.

5. Yes, they all finished the drinks each time they had one.

6. There was a split - my elder two preferred orange and the younger two preferred the apple. In saying that - they liked them both.

7.Yes, I always read the labels - I have one child on a specialised diet and have to read through everything. It's lovely & reassuring to see no additives!!

8. As above - it makes my life so much easier! Not only is it reasuring that you know you are giving your children the healthier option - it makes managing a special GFCF diet so much easier!

9.Definitely believe it would make a nice addition to the lunch box.

10.The difference is the ingredients - or better, the lack of ingredients!

11. No easier way to get one of their 5 a day than to drink it! (especially for the fussy ones!)

12. Yes, I'd definitely buy these products again - I like the ingredients, the fact that it is a serving of fruit/veg for the fussy eaters, my kids all enjoyed it and love the magnets!! I also like that these products go on sale regularly in the grocery stores - this is when I stock up!

13. Ooh. love blueberry! It would be a nice option to have a veg mix as well - like a carrot/apple or carrot/orange ... my guys love this from the juicer!

14. Mine prefer the smoothies - I think the smooth texture and taste. I think they feel like it is a real treat to have - we always have juice of some form, but the smoothies put smiles on their faces! (and on mine as I know I'm sneaking in some goodness!)

1. Have you/Do you water down juices,
I always dilute juice

2. Are you aware of the innocence brand.
Yes, but I dont often buy any smoothies as I think they are too high in sugar (even though it is natural sugar, still has the same effect :) )



3. Have you tried innocent Products before?
Yes, we sometimes for treats have them, with a picnic for example


4. Did your kids enjoy innocent juicy drink?
Yes he really liked them


5. Did they drink it all?
no he would always leave about 1/4 of it


6. Which recipe did your child prefer?
Apple
7. Do you think it is a healther option?
Absolutely


8. Did you like the fact each carton has no additives etc.?
Yes
9. Nice addition to a lunch box?
Yes
10. How did Innocent Juicy drink compare to others you might give your children?
They are a good alternative given the no additives and watered down option.

11. Handy way of giving 1 of 5 a day?
I would never class a juice as one of his 5 a day - its not the same as eating the fruit (fibre content /water soluble vitamins)


12. Would you buy them again?
I would definately buy the juices to have for picnics and going out


13. Would your child like another variety?
pineapple or mango maybe


14.Did your little one prefer juicy drinks or the smoothies?
juice

Hi, thanks for the opportunity to try these!

1. Have you/Do you water down juices -> No,i dont

2. Are you aware of the innocent brand -> Yes, i buy smoothies all the time, i also bring them to work for myself!

3. Have you tried innocent Products before? -> Yes

4. Did your kids enjoy innocent juicy drink? -> yes but prefers the smoothies

5. Did they drink it all? -> No, not in one go, but in 2 goes.

6. Which recipe did your child prefer? -> Apple

7. Do you think it is a healther option? -> Yes though i try to limit juices and do more water and milk

8. Did you like the fact each carton has no additives etc.? -> Yes, as does my son, he has good taste!

9. Nice addition to a lunch box? -> My son is too young but to be honest, i think i will try to stick to milk / water for lunch if i can get away with it and juices for treats


10. How did Innocent Juicy drink compare to others you might give your children? -> better but more expensive so to be honest, i stock up on smoothies when on special offer

11. Handy way of giving 1 of 5 a day? -> Yes

12. Would you buy them again? -> Probably not the juices but the smoothies yes as all natural and no additives and kids love them

13. Would your child like another variety? -> Not necessary

14.Did your little one prefer juicy drinks or the smoothies? -> Smoothies


One thing to add, i found the straw on the juices too hard to use. i think a straight straw might work better than a bendy one. It made the juice spill each time as carton is very full. we had to pour into a cup or use another straw.

Also, we buy a lot of smoothies and keep getting the same magnets! Would be really good if they could vary them a bit to try to allow people collect lots of different ones!

Thanks!

Hi, Thanks for choosing us to be testers!!



1- Yes, I always water down my childrens juice, primarily to be kinder to their teeth!

2-Yes, I am aware of the Innocent brand!

3- Yes, I have bought the innocent brand on many occassions, however i generaaly only buy them when they are on special offer. I stock up when they are on special, freeze them and defrost when needed. I find them very expensive normally, and generally don't buy them at full price, however I completey understand why they are more expensive than "similar" products on the market.

4- Yes, my children really enjoyed the juicy drinks.

5- Yes, they drank it all.

6- Very difficult to say, but I think they preffered the orange drink.

7- Yes, it's definitely a healthier option, better for their teeth (?) and a huge plus that their is nothing added! It is actually very difficult to find such natural juices for children!

8- Yes I did like that each carton had no concentrates, additives, flavourings or weird stuff - this would definitely make me chose this over other products.

9- Yes, a definite choice for my childrens lunchboxes!

10- I try to chose the most natural juices possible for my children but its very difficult and a bit of a minefield! As I said previously I would chose Innocent everytime if it were slightly cheaper, but sometimes it does depend on price. I would prefer to chose 100% natural, 100% of the time!

11- Defintely! My 2 year old is going through a phase at the moment where she refuses to eat any fruit or veg but yet never refuses a juice or a smotthie so yes this is a great way to be sneaky!!

12- Yes, I would buy this product again for all 4 reasons listed.

13- My children like all flavoured juices really, however I would like to see a pineapple juice, this is something that children would like but not something I have seen very often. I like the sound of carrot, but I'm not sure if it would be popular. I would definitely give it to my children though, to try at least!

14- My children prefer the innocent smoothies (so do I!!) - they are definitely more of a treat!

Thanks again!!

Hi to all and thank you for giving myself and my family the opportunity to be testers.

Here are the results from the Phelan family!!!

I always water down the diluted juices but sometimes I would water down apple and orange juice depending on whether they were strong tasting.

Yes was aware of the innocent brand.

Yes have tried innocent products before but mainly would have bought them when they were on special offer as I find the brand quite expensive.

Yes both my children enjoyed the innocent juicy drinks,

Yes both drained the cartons and were looking for more!!!

Both preferred the apple.

Yes were definitely a healthier option.

Yes loved the fact that they contained no concentrates, additives, flavourings or any weird stuff of any description.

Yes my eldest daughter took the drinks to school with her.

Much better.

Yes definitely - I love the fact that I'm getting one of their five a day into them but they have no ides that mammy is pulling a fast one on them...ha...ha!!!

Yes would definitely buy the product again but would probably only buy it when on special offer. The main reason for buying it because it's a handy way to get in one of their five a day.

Yes both children would like cranberry. We all love cranberry juice in this house...watered down of course.
Also blackcurrant would be nice as well.

I think the innocent smoothies won out in this house. I think it's because they were considered more of a treat.

Thanks again for allowing us to be part of the smoothie testing gang. Hope this review helps.

Hi all,

First of all, thank you for giving us the opprtunity to test these new products by Innocent.

1.
Yes, I always water down the juices for my son in order to reduce the
risks for his teeths, but I would not dilute a real fruit juice.

2. Yes, I am. We have bought products before but didn't know just how wide a range was available.

3. As I said, yes we have. We've tried some of the smoothie drinks before.

4. He did enjoy the juicy drink but prefered the smoothies.

5. He drank them all (apart from the couple Daddy stole with joy).

6. The apple juice went down very well but he liked them both.

7. I was very happy with the drinks. The flavor and health factor are both there.

8.
Nowadays there are a lot of juices with 10 percent real joiuce on them.
It begs the question, what is in the other 90 percent. So these drinks
are great.

9. Yes. I would put them in my child's lunchbox.

10. They are much better in my opinion and my husbands.

11. Of course. Let's be honest, getting any child or adult to eat the 5 a day is very difficult so the easier the better.

12. Yes, I would. The drinks are healthy, tasty and handy so they will become part of our weekly shopping.

13. My son loves his berries so a Very Berry juice would be brilliant.

14.
The smoothies seemed to be his favorite as they are filling and not
just a drink but filling too. Perhaps the flavors of the smoothies
appealed to him more too as they are combinations of flavors.

Thanks again for the opprtunity! It was a fulfilling experience.

Hi MummyPages,
First of all just want to say thanks for allowing me to be an innocent tester - really enjoyed taking part!
I used to avoid giving my kids juice, however when they started school i found there were very few other options for their lunch box. I would usually water down the juice and put it into a bottle for them. While i had heard of innocent before, i had never tried it and when i heard that it was free of all that nasty stuff i was very eager to give it a go.
The kids really enjoyed both the juice and the smoothies and always finished the cartons. While they drank both the orange and the apple, when i asked them which they prefered they said the apple (i actually prefered the orange myself).
These drinks are by far a healthier option for the kids. i am very conscious of what food and drinks i give my kids and am always reading the ingredients of products before buying them, and the difference between innocent and other juices is unbelievable! I will definitely be buying innocent from now on and will be very reluctant to give my kids any other juice.
My eldest is great for eating her fruit and veg but my other little one is very fussy so innocent is a great way of getting some fruit into her. My fussy eater prefered the juice while my older girl rathered the smoothies. If i could try another flavour it would be blackcurrant.
Thanks for letting myself and my girls take part! :-)

Hey everyone,
We loved taking part in the innocent test!
I try and avoid giving my kids juice but when i do give it to them, i always water it down. I was aware of innocent but had never bought it before because i don't buy juice that often.
I was really happy that i tried innocent out on the kids because they just loved it. I was delighted to find out that it had no concentrates, additives and flavourings and i feel very comfortable about giving it to the kids. They drank every drop of the apple but left a little bit of the orange behind - i was happy to finish it for them though :-)
innocent juice is a far healthier option than any other juice i bought before and i have been popping it into their lunch boxes for the past 2 weeks. I used always put a piece of fruit into the lunch box but it would usually return untouched, so now i am happy to know that they are getting one of their 5-a-day with innocent.
They loved both the smoothies and the juices (although they didn't get to drink as much of the smoothies because my husband kept stealing them!)
Thanks for letting me take part MummyPages and innocent. Hope my feedback is helpful! xx

Hi everyone,
Was delighted when the delivery man dropped off my Innocent package! My ds had a great time testing them!

8. Did you like the fact each carton has no additives etc.? -> Yes
9. Nice addition to a lunch box? -> Yes, my son is only allowed treats on a friday so he couldnt understand why he was allowed to have a smoothie on a normal day, he thought it would be classed as a treat!
