Feedback

I love the Innocent range and brand, we have tried the smooties and the fruit tubes before. The kids favourite are the fruit tubes, they were the first to be gone followed by the smoothies. We froze a few of the fruit tubes and the kids loved a cold treat on one of the sunny days we had in Ireland! The juices are nice but I found that they didn't finish them all the time but it's handy to pop them back in the fridge to enjoy them later on.

It is great that something so healthy, made from real fruits and additive free is so tasty and this is what the kids ask for as soon as we walk in the door! I am delighted to pack the Innocent range with the school lunch as it such a great addition to regular fruits and veggies to reach 5 a day. I will definently buy the Innocent fruit tubes and smoothies again as they provide a healthy and tasty snack.



Thanks for letting us take part in the trial!

We loved all the Innocent Treats we got in the post. The kids were over the moon as they are a favourite in our house.
My daughter is a little fussy when it comes to juices and smoothies and generally only drinks apple juice and even at that just certain types. She loved the orange juice and the apple juice cartons and then even ventured and tried the cherry and strawberry smoothie.
I split two of the smoothies into 6 ice lolly makers and mixed with a little water and they went down a treat. I had a number of kids over on a play date and they all loved them.
The fruit tubes were delicious too but my two year old just wasn’t satisfied with just the one. He’s not very good at opening them himself though and ended up wearing most of them, lol! They then had to be hidden as he can get into the fridge and open them himself.
It’s great there’s none of those unwanted added extras, colours, sugar etc that you just don’t want your child to have. It feels great that you know they’re getting something good and healthy.
I tend to buy most of the products anyway but usually only when they’re on special as they’re quite expensive but I suppose if you want something pure and natural you have to pay for it.
My 7 year old is an avid reader and loved all the fun facts and games and things to do on the packets. The game to find stuff in the flour and jelly was great fun but next time I think i’ll do it closer to bath time, what a mess but great entertainment on a wet afternoon. We even made the little bird feeder with the cartons and my 2 year old has a fit if we forget to feed the birds.
I've had to hide a few for when school starts as will be a great treat and surprise when my daughter starts back to school.

Thanks Innocent and Mummypages for letting us test all the products. We had so much fun and deliciousness!

We received our HUGE bag of products to try much to the delight of my four year old and his friends when they were all over for playtime.
I was aware of the brand for a long time, I remember them coming out in Ireland and we have always enjoyed their products.
All of the smooties were a huge hit with the apples and blackcurrants being the winner. The juices were also a hit but some of the children said they were too watery.
Like some others here i froze the smoothie tubes and the kids loved them. My son was very impressed that he made ice pops in his house :)
I really like the fact that every thing going into the drinks is natural and the children arent drinking any chemicals and additives along with their fruit.
I would buy the smooties and fruit tubes again they both got a unanimous thumbs up from everybody we had tasting them.
I asked my son what flavour he would like to see and he said kiwi & dinosaur :)

Thanks Mammy pages and Innocent for the chance to trial the products.

We really enjoyed being involved in this Innocent trial! While I have been aware of the Innocent brand, we have never tried such a range of flavours from it. We have previously tried some of the smoothies, and they always went down well!

There was such excitement when the Innocent bag arrived, it was difficult to stop everyone trying everything at once. We tried the cherry and strawberry smoothies straight away, and they are delicious!

All the smoothies went down really well, we will definitely be buying them again. Our only problem was with opening them. All the kids needed help, even the adults messed up 1 or 2! All flavours were loved, with the strawberries, blacberries + raspberries appearing the most popular.

The juices were also really popular. I loved the orange but the kids favourite was the apple. These were great because even my 3yr old could manage to open hers alone.

While the fruit tubes were eaten, I'm not sure I would buy them again. They were quite hard to handle, and definitely not as popular as the smoothies. Although they disappeared a lot quicker when I froze the second box.

I love that Innocent stuff are so natural, and even better that they are one of the "5 a day". They definitely are the one of the top smoothie and juice brands. I will definitely be buying some of these again. How about a blueberry and raspberry flavour? Or blueberry and banana?

Thanks for including our family in your trial. We had great fun! Thanks Innocent and MummyPages

Just to give some feedback. My boys were delighted to recieve their goodies to try and and quickly started tasting. Both the apple and orange juice were a hit straight away and absolutely no left overs. I tasted them both and i really liked the apple juice. We quickly moved to the smoothies, which again were a hit. There was never any left over and the only thing they disagreed about was who got what carton! (there were different pictures on back). They loved looking at the back of the smoothies and seeing what ingredients were in each carton. Their favourite was strawberries and cherries and apple and blackberries. The tubes were not as big a hit as the smoothies. They were not too keen on the mango and pineapple fruit tubes but liked them better when frozen. I have since purchased the peaches and passionfruit smoothies in the shops which again were really liked.
I will keep buying the juices/smoothies for my kids especially when they return to school. I love the fact i know they are getting one of their five a day in their drink. However i do find them a bit expensive so i do stock up when they are on special offer.

I wanted to give the lovely and generous amount of sample a good week or two to get a good idea on what the kids liked the best.. As they are lovers of smoothies and I make them on regular basis, i generally use the original bananna, strawberries and OJ. I have tried to introduce raspberries, blueberries but sometimes wouldnt go down as well. I was curious with all the differnt flavours how they would react...

Without a blink all of the smoothies went down well, they kept asking for more and more.. I have bought the innocent smoothies before and friends house had them stocked most of the times and the kids would be always be pointing them out for one.. I loved the fact that the juices were made from natural fruit without the dreaded added sugar and was thrilled to see their was no hidden additives, a definite bonus.

The apple juice went down a treat the most with the boys and i was curious and had to try one out too, but my 10 month old daughter loved the orange juice. To be fairly honest there wasnt one of the flavours of smoothies that the boys liked more than the other which was great from my perspective as they were getting other nutrients from different fruit which they would normally not be keen on. The apple & blackcurrant was one the boys had never tried and was lovely to see them enjoy a nutritious drink and getting one of their 5 a day.

I did tempt my 10 momth old with a fruit tube but was very messy obviously but she was keen, so definitley be interested on keeping this up. My kids are generally good healthy eaters, but on rushed days snacks wouldnt be so healthy. Maybe a rice cakes wirth peanut butter or some fruit platter. On bad days they may get a packets of crisps or biscuits. I never would of thought to freeze the tubes but definitley will keep in mind and love experimenting. My kids are very good with taken most fruit and have been brought up on my own made smoothies as babies but was happy they loved all the flavours that was given to them.

I would purchase these products again, more so for lunch boxes or as part of a brekfast as sometimes with an apple or grapes in a lunch box isnt quite fresh or cold when eaten at lunch time and would say the smoothie would be a better bet. Also with given yoghurts in school it can be quite disasterous i.e uniform so smoothies or tube wouldnt be as messy. I found theses products brilliant as they were 100 % natural which i felt confident that they were giving them a better start. I would like to thank you for the opportunity to try these samples and to buy other flavors also.

We were delighted to be choosen for this trial. I love the Innocent Brand and have tried most of them in the past in our house. My son who is 6 is always trying to get me to buy the smoothies, every now and again I would give in and buy some only to end up drinking them myself. I think it was the packaging that attracted him in the first place, that and the fact that his friends in school had them for lunch. I was hoping that he would grow to like the fruit tubes and the smoothies as they are so much more healthy than most things on the market for children at the moment.
What I found through the trial is that he loved the apple and orange juicy drinks, and the apple and blackcurrant smoothie but he found the flavours in all the others to strong for him. To give him credit he did try them all and we even froze some of the fruit tubes, I loved them but to my disappointment my son did not. oh well I will keep trying in the hopes that one day his taste buds will be wakened to the goodness of the smoothies and the fruit tubes.
From my point of view I love Innocent and only buy Innocent Brand Apple and Orange juice. I tend to buy the larger bottles in bulk and the small cartons of juicy drink. I would like to be able to buy the really small bottles of apple juice more often than I do however I find them very had to buy in the shops, mainly only see them in Dunnes Stores.
I love the fact that there are no additives, flavours or added sugar in the Innocent Brand products and I will continue to buy the juice as this is the favorite brand in our house, we love reading the quirky little lines on the bottles, my son finds them halarious!!!!

Well all the innocent products are long polished off so time to give the feedback from the mini testers!

I had 3 very willing testers aged 10, 6 and 4 who have VERY different eating habits. My eldest is a great eater so I knew she would love all that she tried. The 6 year old is perhaps the fussiest child on the planet. She absolutely loved ALL the products she tried and it was a relief to know I was getting some fruit in to her. She was the first one down every morning asking for her smoothie her favourite was definitely the apple and blackcurrant smoothie.

The youngest is a big fruit fan so this was an added bonus and it was making sure we were getting all her 5 a day into her.

We had tried all the products bar the apple and orange juice and these were a big hit and will be bought again.

We also froze the fruit tubes and this was a great idea, as they lasted a few minutes longer than they normally did.

I would love if ( and they may do I havent fully checked the range) innocent incorporated vegetables in their smoothie range as this would help get some veg in to the 2 youngest whom I struggle to get veg in to.

I definitely look out for when innocent are on bogof offers as they are quite expensive when buying for 3 hungry mouths. I buy them for the lunch boxes but they are usually eaten before they get a chance to go in to the lunch boxes.

I would like to thank mummypages and Innocent for including us in this trial, it was an absolute pleasure to participate in.

The final word has to be from the testers and that is yum yum yum!!!!!!

Firstly thank you so much for picking my family to trial the innocent range.....

When I received my innocent package... you would have thought that we had won the lotto with the excitement of my kids.

The Cherry and strawberry went down a treat. I think this was their favourite of the smoothes, thats not to say the the Strawberries,blackberries & raspberries flavour was good, they loved them too.

Both myself and the kids love the apple and orange juice. They loved the taste and for me they could put the straw in without any help. These will def be on my school lunch list.

The Fruit frubes too went down really well. I normally give the kids the yogurt version of these but my daughter doesnt like them.. but she loved these as did my other kids. These too will be add to my shopping list. Never thought of freezing them.. but will definitely next shop.

The thing I love about innocents everything is 100% pure fruit and no added extra. Kids love them, Mammies loves them, so where could you go wrong... Dont know when you ever get a product that both mammies and kids love alike.

I would definitely recommend Innocents and it will be added to my shopping list.



thanks again Innocents...

I had tried the 4 pack smoothies 750ml smoothies and the 1L apple and orange juices.

Kids loved the smoothies they were gone before everything else!! my youngest really liked the new cherry and strawberry flavour.

Kids prefered the apple to the orange in the juices. Didnt freeze the fruit tubes but would do so for putting in school lunchbox the kids love them but found them hard to open by themselves and they were slighly messy.

I would buy the smoothies for lunchboxes kids love them and they help them get 5 a day and are not made from concentrates. I would buy the fruit tubes again and try freezing them. I probably wouldn't get the juices as kids didn't like these as much.

I would like to see a blueberry smoothie variant for the future.

Thanks for choosing us to be part of the trial

We love the Innocent smoothies in our house so were thrilled to take part in the Mummypages trial. We hadn’t tried the juicy drinks or the fruit tubes so it was great to get an opportunity to try these as well. I have 2 boys aged 9 and 4 and the smoothies still reigned supreme, but the fruit juices went down very well with the 9 year old and the fruit tubes with the 4 year old – I reckon the 9 year old felt he was too cool for something that comes out of a tube. My nieces however, aged 2 and 4 loved the tubes so we shared these on a picnic at Brittas Bay!
The boys’ favourite smoothie flavours were the Apples and Blackcurrents and the Strawberries, Blackberries and Raspberries. Mine was the Oranges, Mangoes & Pineapples – sorry couldn’t stop myself having a little taste! They liked both the Apple and Orange drinks, and my nieces loved the Strawberries & Raspberries fruit tubes.
I just love the fact that everything is natural with no additives. One less thing to worry about as a mum. My four year old starts school next week and as he’s my youngest and baby, I know I’m going to be a little sad about dropping him off. He is of course very excited about the big day, as he has been watching his big brother happily running into school, for the last 4 years. I got him his new schoolbag and lunchbox last week and he has already told me what he wants for lunch each day – top of his list is an Innocent smoothie, no surprises there. Happy school days for all of us :)

We recieved our package of innocent products and within seconds my 4 and 2 year olds had the cherry & strawberry box open. The four year old announced she thought it was her favourite but needed to try the others to be sure! They really love the smoothies and I buy them when they are on offer in the supermarket. Their least favourite was the mango and orange flavour, usually they would leave half of it behind.
The fruit tubes are not a hit at all unfortunately except with my 11 month old son! I did try freezing them but the girls didn't like them at all. I tried one, to try and work out why, and I think they are a little bitter and that I suspect is why kids don't like them. The frozen fruit tubes were great for the baby as he is teething.
They all loved the juices and I loved the fact that they were 100% juice. I have bought them every week since, I also found that my two year old could open them no problem and they are so handy and so much better for them then any of the other juices. We buy the 900ml Orange Juice every week anyway as my middle child is an orange juice addict (have to say I think its gorgeous too).
Overall I found the children loved the innocent range (as did their daddy who kept disappearing with a smoothie in hand!) I would certainly buy the smoothies and juices again however I doubt I would buy the fruit tubes as they would just sit in the fridge. One direction innocent could go would be to produce baby fruit products I am sure they would sell very well.
Thanks so much to mummy pages and innocent for allowing our family be part of the trial we really enjoyed it.

I was absolutely delighted when I saw the Innocent products arriving but not as much as my 3 kids, they thought Christmas and Birthdays had come at once! I knew of the Innocent brand and had bought some of their products before but not on a regular basis and really only when on special offer. I have a nearly 5 year old starting school next week and 3 1/2 year old starting Montessori and a 20 month old. I am always looking for healthy products for lunches and snacks.
We tried the smoothies first and these went down a treat especially with the older 2 and they were asking for another one. All flavours of the smoothies were enjoyed with the Apples and Blackcurrants being favourite.
Fruit tubes were next. I gave these to the 2 older kids straight from the fridge. My 4 year old didn't like the mango and pineapple but loved the strawberry and raspberry one. My 3 year old loved both flavours. I put some in the freezer and gave them out on one of the only warm days we had. They were great and lasted much longer as they were frozen and kept them occupied! I am going to try these in lunch boxes frozen, so should still be cool by lunchtime.
The orange and apple juices were tried next. I gave them with their lunch and they went down a treat. The orange being favourite in our house. The carton size is great for kids and minimises spills!
Overall all the Innocent products were a hit, great to know that they are getting one of their 5 a day without them even knowing it. What is important to me as a mum is that my kids are getting healthy food with no added sweeteners or preservatives. I know when I buy Innocent products it is what it says on the pack, Real Pure Fruit. I would definitely buy these products again, maybe not every week as they are expensive but definitely when they are discounted.

We had tried Innocent smoothies before so were particularly interested and excited to try the juices and tubes. Our delivery arrived on Thursday afternoon - not a solitary item was left standing by the following Tuesday evening.

The girls were so excited when our bag was delivered that they got stuck in straight away with the smoothies they already knew - the big girl loves the new cherry & Strawberry, middle girl is a big fan of the strawberry blackberry and raspberry, and little girl was taken with the orange packaging of the orange mango one. They all finished them off and then attacked the juices with the apple being the winner in that category! The tubes were probably the least favourite - middle girl said it felt furry...?

Big girl then read the blurb and was delighted to see that they could be frozen and proceeded to freeze one of each of the smoothie flavours and a tube each. I had never thought of freezing them before and will definitely be doing it again - they are actually brilliant half frozen - a bit slushy - fantastic in the picnic bag for a trip out.
What's brilliant about these products is the fact that they count as one of the 5 a day - which if we're all very honest is a massive effort in itself to achieve, and the fact that they are natural and healthy and free from all additives and still convenient is a bonus. I know an apple or a banana is convenient too but where's the fun in that??

If we had one teeny tiny criticism it would be that sometimes the smoothies can take a bit of an effort to open - we have had the occasional tear over a spillage (and that's just me!)

As a full time working mum with 3 girls, aged 2, 4 and 6(and a very important half) - it can be too easy to fall into a trap of making unhealty choices so these do help and long may they continue doing so!! The smoothies continue to feature on our weekly shopping list and we look forward to whatever new flavours come along - one suggestion from our house is banana, blueberry and strawberry.....

And finally the girls love the packaging on the smoothies - the information and games are always good fun.

We loved the important task of giving our opinion and being chosen for the group - it was fun sitting down with the girls and hearing what they had to say - and we look forward to hearing what others thought too!

and the mammy

I have bought Innocent products for my daughter in the past but usually only when they are on sale. My daughter loves the fruit tubes. I would have to say the fruit tubes were her favorite. She did enjoy the smoothies too but only only the ones that were some sort of berry flavor. She's not a big fan of Mango or Pineapple. I love that Innocent products are all natural. It's nice to know that my daughter is drinking something that is good for her growing body. I think it's awesome that the drinks and smoothies give my child one of her 'five a day'. It's a great way for her to eat fruit and have fun. We adore the fruit tubes and will be buying them again. I prefer them to any other snack I would give to my daughter. We did not try freezing the smoothies or fruit tubes, but will do so in the future.
Yes I would buy the Innocent products again. They are a great way for kids to eat healthy. Thank you so much for letting our family participate in this trial.
