Got our kit yesterday and the new Cherries and Strawberries is a firm winner, even surpassing extant favourite Mangoes etc. Might take up suggestion of Frozen Froothiesby fellow mom as the tubes are being met with reluctance. Even Daddy loves them and anything Daddy does, kids do!

Just to leave some feedback we had a play date today so 4, 6 year olds girls ready to test out there innocent smoothies 2 had oranges, mangoes & pineapple and 2 cherries & strawberries they shared and the one that they liked was the cherries & strawberries. My daughter then said she would love a smootie with blueberries & banana as they are her favorite fruit. They also liked the apple juice and they said the best thing was that they could all open them all by themsleves as they need a little bit of help opening the smoothies. Finnally they had frozen strawberries & raspberries tubes and they were the winner. I was told they tasted better than ice pops. I was delighted to hear this knowing that all the products were 100% fruit, the apple juice will be in my daughters lunch box for definite as she was well able to open them herself, she struggles a bit with the smoothies so this could be something that could be improved especially for lunch boxes as they spill over the uniform and the desk . It was a great day for the girls and also a great day for me as they all had so much fruit and they didnt even ask for sweets. I will the juice t on my shopping list next week and will be back with more feedback soon. Thanks innocent.

I know the innocent brand having bought it from time to time but it’s a while since I bought it. To be honest, I didn’t realise the difference between their products and other smoothies until I read this page. I thought all smoothies were made of the same things and was delighted to be educated that innocent products are only squashed fruit whereas other products are made from concentrated juices. I won’t be buying them again.


I received my bag of products on Thursday - there were loads of each to try. It gave us ample opportunity to try them all. My family (4 sisters) landed with their kids on Friday unexpectedly so it turned out to be a 5 sister family trial and it’s why I’m able to write my review so quickly.

The ten kids (and mums) loved each of the products. I had frozen the boxes of fruit tubes the day before and given that Friday was lovely, the kids enjoyed their ‘pops’ in the back garden. This is a neat trick as my kids love ice pops but I worry about the food colourings in the other brands sold in shops. Seriously how are ice pops blue? I digress. Each of the smoothies, juicy drinks and fruit tubes were totally finished with no complaints about any flavours or varieties. Naturally the kids had their preferences for flavours but the innocent range offers enough variety that there is something for everyone.

We are not a great juice house and since they were babies, if we did give it to them, we water it down. So the juice drink was great in that regard. It makes a big difference to me and my DH to know that the range is made without any preservatives or additives – they are products that you can give in confidence without worrying about bad stuff. The fact that they give your kids one of their five a day is inspired as my kids have off days where giving fruit and veg is sometimes tough.

The kids did make some suggestions for new varieties which included ‘blueberry buzz’ and ‘polly pineapple’ to name two. They’d love a fruit tube with pineapple.

I will definitely buy the products again – sometimes you need to try something to understand just how good it is. Friday was meant to be just four of us testing the range and it turned into an impromptu test by 5 mums and 10 kids all of whom are now innocent mums. Thanks mummypages and innocent for allowing us to take part.

thanks a million for sending out all the innocent products they went down a treat with all the family, my 5 year old girl loved all the smoothies , the strawberrie, rasberries one was her faveourite ones she kept asking was there anymore of them , my son of 11 isint big into fruit atall it is a battle to get him to eat any and when he does it would be a few grapes and strawberries and not to often , i handed him a carton of apple juice with his breakfast and he immediatley said im not drinking that i dont like them but when he tried it he said its not to bad and drank one so i was delighted to now know i can buy the apple juice and hes getting some fruit in to him that way, i love the fact its just pure fruit going in to these products and not lots of additives, the fruit tubes always go sown a treat and are gone so quick , i foze some in the freezer and it was nice to have them over the last few days, i do buy the fruit tubes regulary and when your running a promotion on the smoothies i will get them ,we love all the flavours , i will now be buying the apple juice drinks for my son and will be popping them into his lunch box , thank you for giving me the oppertunity to test these products we thouroughly enjoyed them :-)

I know alot of the innocent range but had forgotten how great they are. My older girls, 10,7 & nearly 4 are all good fruit eaters but it is always good to find a fun way to get more into them, especially at school. It would be good if the smoothie carton design could be changed to be more like the juice ones as they found the juice ones much easier to open.

The best thing for me was my 2 year old, she is a terrible fruit eater and she loved the smoothie. I was delighted to get a full fruit portion into her as I'm normally lucky to get a little melan and maybe 3 blueberries in!

The smoothies were their favorite, my eldest 2 loved the Cherries& Strawberries, while the younger 2 loved the Strawberries,blackberries & raspberries most but all 4 flavours were happily consumed and seen as a bit treat.

They also loved the fruit tubes, both fresh but more so frozen. Only thing I couldn't find out is if these also had a full fruit portion or less? They(&me!) would love more flavours in this range, especially a cherry & strawberry one and blueberry one, as I see them replacing all ice pops in this house.

The fruit juice cartons were the least popular but still well like, the apple one more than the orange.

I will definitely be buying more of these and would happily recommend them to all my friends.

Thank you so much for the package we recieved during the week....my 7 year old son was so exited when he seen all we got he had to start tasting them straight away!!! He had tasted a couple of the smoothies flavours before as my mam gets them for the grandchildren sometimes...he started with the ones he hadnt tasted and loved the strawberry and cherry one and the mango orange and pineapple one, he said that they are both his favourite of all the flavours! he also loved the fruit tubes loved both flavours and now has some in the freezer to taste them when they r frozen...his favourite of the juice is the apple juice he didnt really like the orange juice said it was a bit sour and didnt like the taste! i loved the orange juice myself so fresh and tasty....
I loved the fact that my son loved al of the products as they are so healthy for any child to eat/drink...i would highly recommend them, i have bought some of the range in the past but only when they have been on special offer as i find them quite expensive but i suppose you are paying for the quality of the goods....i wil post up more on how my son likes the tubes when they are frozen and any other feed back from him! Thank you for giving us the opportunity of sampling a great product.

Thanks Innocent and mummypages for choosing us to take part in the trial, we were delighted when the bag of goodies arrived last week!
We often buy Innocent smoothies so the kids were delighted to have lots of flavours to choose from, the strawberry & cherry flavour was especially loved by my 7 year old daughter as the packaging is pink.... Luckily they taste good too!
We mostly drink water or watered down juice in our house, but the Innocent juices were well received as they are nice and light and not super crazy sweet like some of the 'juices' on the market. I would be happy for the kids to have a carton of Innocent juice without worrying about watering it down, as I know there are no 'nasties' lurking in there.
The fruit tubes weren't so well received, as I think the kids were expecting yoghurt. After reading other Mum's comments here I put them into the freezer, and hey presto, they were devoured with delight :o)
All in all we were pleased with all of the products trialled and we will definitely buy all of them in future.

We just want to say a big thank you to mummypages and innocent for letting us take part in this trial. We were aware of the brand best testing we would have brought the orange juice and the fruit tubes a bit. We loved the juices cartons and the smooties but the best was the fruit tubes from the freezer they were a great treat and so tasty. They were finished ever time and i felt graet knowing that they were all natural no hidden additive. The clear winner was the cherries & strawberries smootie it was so tasty and the apple juice the winner in the juices and in the tubes it was the strawberries & raspberries tube from the freezer, yum yum. We loved knowing that all the products have no additives, flavouring and add sugar just all natural. I felt great knowing that this was going towards one of there 5 a day a very easy wait to get them in. My daughter was happy to have them over seets so they will be on our shopping ever week from now on. One variety she would like would be blueberry and banana as they are her farourite fruits and only think she found hard was opening the smootie but this did not stop her from loving them and they are a big winner in our house and we are hooked now so thanks to innocent for letting us no about there great products which are all natural and great for children and very easy and stress free way of getting fruit into them. Thank s

Well our package arrived in the middle of a Katie Taylor fight, so the poor man was nearly left on the doorstep! Such excitement !

I have been an innocent smoothie drinker myself for years and so was delighted to be chosen to let my kids try these products.

Of the three product types, the favourite with my little girl were the Innocent Kids Smoothies in particular the Orange, Mango & Pineapple, followed by the Strawberries, Blackberries and Raspberries. She was not keen on the Cherry & Strawberry flavour - I think the flavour was too strong for her. Only problem with these was that she had great difficulty putting the straw into the carton herself and at 8 years old that would worry me for school time. By choice whe would have liked the Kiwi and Apple flavour that is available in the adult bottles to be in a kids carton - she has tried this one before and loved it.

The Innocent Fruit Tubes are a real hit with me for lunchboxes. My daughter particularly liked the Mango & Pineapple (again), but ate both flavours and finished the tube. Brilliant way of getting one of her five a day into her during school and not have the mess that can be left by a yogurt pot and spoon. They were easy to open and also stored well in the fridge. I planned on freezing these as icepops, but they did not last long enought o make it to the freezer. They are now on my shopping list!

The Innocent Kids Juicy Drinks were another big hit. My daughter is lactose intollerant and so cannot have the school milk. She gets fed up with just having water every day and I am not keen on her having sugary drinks in her lunchbox. It is comforting to know that there are no additives, flavourings or added sugar in these juices. She prefered the orange flavour to the apple, but drank and finished both. It would be nice to have a Cranberry flavour available in these juices.

Thank you Mummypages & Innocent for the opportunity to test and review these wonderful products.

We have just finished our trial kit of Innocence and were super impressed. I had purchased various products before, usually the mango smoothies when in cafés or a box of 'Red' smoothies while out and about to stave off fillers but to have such a variety in the fridge really helped mold our perception of the brand. Each day for as long as they lasted the girls started off the morning with a smoothie with their oatmeal and it really made a difference to their day. The juices were used for the beach trips that our Dublin summer reluctantly afforded us and we're still wending our way slowly through the purée 'pops'.
It's such a relief to buy something for your children (and the sneaky daddy) and know that the ingredients are 100% fruit, in the case of the smoothies, and genuinely fruit and water in the juice boxes. Additives and flavourings creep into food in all sorts of guises these days and Innocent is a brand we will now be irrefutably sticking to, comfortable in the knowledge that we do, for a change, know exactly what is in their tummies. The juice boxes were particularly favoured during the higher temperatures and so they'll be alternating boxes and water bottles for school.
Thank you so much for this fantastic opportunity to really form a concrete opinion on this well-known brand and to be able to say 'Yes, we're sticking with you!'
Cheers,
A, mom of 2 (almost 3)

I was delighted to receive my bag of Innocent goodies. I have tried Innocent smoothies before, usually when they are on offer in the supermarket I would stock up as I find them a liitle expensive for a family at €3.95 for a packet of 4. I do purchase Innocent 900ml juices with my shopping every week. My kids favourite is the new apple & raspberry juice. But my 7 year old son loved the Orange and the Apple juice cartons too and did drink them all.

He was not mad on the fruit tubes so I tried freezing them and giving them to him as an ice-pop. He preferred them frozen but did not finish them. I don't think that I would purchase them again for him. He just wasn't mad on the taste or texture of the fruit tubes and as he would much prefer a yogurt in a tube as a snack. The smoothies were a much better hit with him. He enjoyed all the smoothies and finished them. They were also enjoyed by my 19 year old son who tried them all too. I did try the smoothies too but I did find the all the flavours tasted quite similar. I didn't find that there was a strong taste of one fruit over the other in the different varieties but I am happy with the fact that they all contain a full portion of fruit with no additives.

My 7 year old's favouite of all the products was the Cherries & Strawberries smoothie and I was happy that there are no weird stuff in them. He is not great at eating fruit so I find this is a great way to get a portion of fruit into him without him realizing it. I would like to see a Blueberry flavour of smoothie, maybe with Banana as he loves those flavours.

I buy Innocent juices every week and will continue to do so as it is the kids favourite juice. I wouldn't buy the fruit tubes but will continue to stock up on the smoothies when I see them on specials in the supermarket. I would use the smoothies as an after school drink as I find once opened in the school lunchbox at the first little break, it would have to be all consumed and then a drink for the second break would be needed. My child is a slow eater and drinker and would never finish in time, so I would serve as an afternoon treat!

Thanks Mummypages and Innocent for the opportunity to test and review these products.

Thanks so much for including us in your trail. I haved used in innocent fruit tubes in the past so when such a variety came we where all delighted as i had a very full house when they arived (4 children ranging from 11 to 5 ) so they didnt last long :) they really enjoyed them , there was nothing left after 4 days not a drop :)

There favourite was the strwawberry and cherry smoothies they liked them so much they have asked for them every day since :D The kids couldnt decide between the juicy drinks and smoothies as there favourite.Both the apple and orange juicy drinks went down a treat for breakfast its great to know that i was getting fresh fruit into them as i find it hard to get the 2 eldest to eat fruit . I really love this product as there is no nasty hidden surpises and it provides 1 of there 5 a day other snacks dont compare, there is too much additives in other kids drinks and fruit snacks . I froze some of the tubes and they where a great alternerative to ice pops ! My youngest son would like a bannana strawberry and orange one even though he loved the strawberry and cherry flavour . I will definetly buy these again the kids really enjoyed them and they didnt ask for a sugary treat after having them !!!!!!!!!!!!
