The kids were very curious as to the contents of the huge paper bag the courier dropped off at the door.
They immediately recognised the smoothie boxes and of course asked for some.
They often get the smoothies when they are on special offer as they are a nice healthy treat.
We had never seen the juice cartons before and although less impressed then they were with the smoothies they did enjoy them.
The children are 1 1/2,2 1/2 and 3 1/2 and of course I could not resist either.
The favourite with everyone was the smoothies,the kids got them with their lunch and I had them with my breakfast.
Our only complaint here is a design one,they are very hard to get the straws in to and even much older kids visiting could not manage to open them themselves so they are not very practical for school where no doubht a teacher would have to open them for them.
The 3 1/2 year old loved the fruit tubes and as they were too messy for the babies she was delighted that they were only for "big girls" she equates them to yogurts rather then fruit which in our case is brilliant as she will not eat veg and only eats some fruit.
The juicy drinks were not as popular as the smoothies but once the smoothies were all gone they were delighted to drink them and they were very handy for the sumer camp lunch box.
My 3 year old has preference based on colour so the purple was obviously her favourite,followed by the the pink;)
My favourite is the strawberries,blackberries and rasberries smoothie and I was asked for more of the apple and black currant one too.
The strawberry and blackcurrant fruit tubes were a hit and we could not decide between the orange or apple juice even when it came to adult testers!
I loved these products for many reasons.
Having a 3 year old that does not like the look of anyhting healthy can be stressful sometimes and at least I know that she is getting one of her 5 a day and developing a taste for fruit.
For the younger too that love fruit it was a nice treat to give them when we were out and about and healthier then a sugary alternative.
The youngest is allergic to milk and it is hard to always give her the same snacks as the older ones but she was delighted that these were for her too.
Our last few fruit tubes have gone in the freezer to make some nice ice pops for the kids but due to the weather they have not got to taste them yet.
The kids loved trying out all their new juices,the mammy enjoyed it too.
We find them a little expensive when they are not on special offer in the shops but I think we will start stocking up doubley when they are and will start buying the juice and fruit tubes for lunch boxes.

My 2 boys tried all the lovely Innocent products. For my super picky boy he loved all of them! He wasnt a huge fan of the frube style smoothies. However One user here suggested freezing them as ice pops and this worked a treat! The boys fought over the flavours as "purple" was the favorite. The new cherry flavor wasn't a big hit and my older boy (age5) preferred the "other pink" one. As my son is starting school in 2 weeks I've definitely found a few staples that will be in his lunch - juice box and smoothie! Every day. It really gives a mom like me who stresses that her son doesn't get enough fruit n veg piece if mind to know he will eat and fight over an innocent smoothie box a few times a day! I'd live to see tasty smoothies that are veg based - carrot or tomatoe and fruit combo??? Also more drink box flavours were requested such as a "purple or pink" one. I'd thoroughly and wholeheartedly reccomend Innocent products. My family are sold they are just superior to other similar products in the market. I did a hidden taste rest vs the Aldi brand smoothies and the reaction was instant - hands down Innocent won in our house! Thanks Innocent for letting us take part in the trial

Thank you MummyPages for letting me try these products.
I had heard of the innocent brand before as my daughter loves the smoothies. We also use the large cartons of smoothies and large bottles of juice also.
As I said my daughter loves the smoothies and has become a big fan of the fruit tubes too. She liked the juice too.
Her favourite product was the smoothies and she said her favourite smoothie was the pink one (cherries and strawberries) and her next one after that was the red one (strawberries, blackberries and rasberries) and finally the purple (apples and blackcurrants). Deligted these are my eldest (4yrs) girls favourites as she won't eat blackberries. With the juice the favourite was the apple juice, even I drank that as I love the flavour of the innocent apple juice. Her favourite fruit tube was the strawberries and rasberries. I had never thought of freezing them until I saw it on the sheet that came with the bag of goodies so I froze some smoothies and fruit tubes and it went down really well as my daughters love icepops and this way the baby (14mths) could have them too without me having to transfer them to a cup.
I love that there is nothing added to them because fruit has enough sugar itself and also they taste so much better. The products are such a handy way of giving them some of their five a day especially when you are out and about. My girls love fruit so these were great when we were out and about, no more fruit bashed in the end of the bag. I love the fact that they can be out of the fridge for 8hours or so and still be good so perfect for packing a luch or picnic.
Innocent smoothies are already on my shopping list and I will add the tubes and juices too because the kids love them and they dont have any additives.
If I could add a flavour I think it would be something with blueberries, the baby loves blueberries and it would be a good way of getting the four year old to eat them too.

Was delighted when the trial pack arrived as there really wasn't alot and filled the fridge nicely.
I was familiar with the brand previously but due to the price wouldn't have purchased them as I do think they are expensive.
My son loved the juice drinks and the smoothes. He wasn't too keen on the tubes so I tried putting the smoother into a cup to drink but this didn't make a difference. I notice one mother tired freezing them so I will try that as he is teething at the moment so may add some comfort aswell!
The stawberries and nd rasberries was the favourite with the mango & pineapple following a close second. I tasted all and have to say they were all very tasty. He loved both juices aswell.
hat I loved about these products is that I had confidence that my son was just getting fruit, helping towards his 5 a day, and there were no added sugars or preservatives. And whats more he was enjoying them, there was no "tactics" required to fool him to taking them!
I would normally make up fruit smoothies when giving them to my son, as opposed to buying them. But thats only when I have time. I will be going back to work soon so its nice to have a convenient "just as healthy" alternative that I can just pull out of the fridge.
As I said previously I wouldn't have considered buying this before due to the price. However, on completely the trial I have to say I will definitley be more willing to purchase them in the future.
Thanks a million giving me the chance to review this product.

I was aware of the brand but I had never purchased them in the supermarket as I felt they were very expensive.
I have a 14, 7, 6 & 2 year old who all participated in trying the products, the oldest and youngest tried at least one of the products and the middle two tasted them all. I only questioned the 7 & 6 year old as that is the age group it was aimed at. They used all the products finishing the smoothies first, fruit tubes second and juicy drink last. They loved the smoothies and the fruit tubes but weren’t mad on the juicy drinks but they aren’t big juice drinkers they would rather water. The eldest tried the smoothies and fruit tube and he loved both and asked me to put them on the shopping list since trying.
Their favourite product out of the 3 was the smoothies; they loved the flavour from them and thought they were great to have with lunch instead of yoghurt.
My kids' favourite in the smoothies was Strawberry, Blackberry and raspberry
Strawberry and raspberry – Fruit tube
Orange – Juicy drink
I like the fact that each of these innocent products are not made from concentrates and each have no additives, flavourings, added sugar or any weird stuff because there are so many things available now with so many hidden things in them making the kids hyper.
I think it's brilliant that innocent juicy drink and smoothies deliver one of their 'five a day' because mine won’t eat vegetables and wouldn’t eat fruit every day so it’s a great option to getting the five a day into them.
We usually purchase frubes and they said that there was a lot more flavour from the fruit tubes.
The first thing they did with half of the fruit tubes was freeze them.
My children are really fussy so was surprised that they like the berry products as much as they did.
I would buy (and have bought) this product in the supermarket since doing the trial because
my kids really liked the products they won’t eat fruit or vegetables so it was handy to sneak in one of their 5 a dayI liked that the products didn’t have any additives
I would purchase the strawberries, raspberries & blackberries smoothies and strawberries & raspberries fruit tubes to put in my kids lunch box.
I don’t think I would make any changes as my kids thoroughly enjoyed the berry combinations.

Thanks to Mummypage & Innocent for the testing package we received. I was aware of Innocent before but only buy their products occasionally as they tend to be expensive & they are usually gone as soon as the kids realise they are in the fridge.
My kids loved the whole range of products we received but in terms of ranking them I would say by a very small margin,1st preference would be smooties, tubes then juice.
Favourite in each catogory is a s follows: Smoothie Cherry & strawberries
Tubes: Mangoes & Pineapple
Juice: Surprisingly the Apple was the most popular
No matter what time of the day I took any of the Innocent products out there was excitement & they were finished very quickly. They loved all the different flavours but the big surprise was that my daughter who no longer drinks apple juice had a taste of the Innocent apple dirnk & opted for a carton of it.
I love the fact that the innocent range is made from real fruit (not concentrates) & I would be very happy to give the kids the fruit tubes as a snack/treat as they are so much better than sweets etc. The fact that they count towards the 1in 5 a day is a major selling point for me.
The only minor critisicm I have is that the products are still very difficult for little people to manage.
I will definitely buy Innocent again as they are excellent, natural products.

Innocent smoothies a big favourite in our House. Now the range has been made bigger. This Mum will need a bigger trolley when she goes shopping. I have been giving the kids Innocent smooties for the last year normally in their Lunch boxes as Thankfully our school has a healthy lunch policy. I have loved that they are natural and no BAD STUFF as they say in them.
When the trial pack arrived the ooh's and aah's were so funny. Look Mum there are fruit tubes they had never tried them before.It was a battle to make sure they were not gone in one sweep of the fridge. With 6 kids in this house tastes vary immensely. 2 of the kids hate fruit so to see them enjoying the tubes means less worries for me on them eating their 5 a day. I have steered away from buying Yogurt tubes as normally they are full of sugars, colourings and preservatives. The Innoncent Tubes have none of these so a new item for the lunch boxes Im so happy about this.
We did freeze some of the tubes and these were great for my son who has Down Syndrome as he loves the coldness of Ice pops but they are so bad for his teeth that they are a treat, not anymore he can have an Innocent Tube every day.
The only fruits I would like to see more of in Innocent produts are Blueberries and Blackberries.
I have be buying more of the Innocent range just one other thing. Could you make a bigger pack please 4 smooties in a box is not enough maybe 6 or 8 would be better.
Also thanks for the promotons giving away free fridge magnets and seeds keeps my small kids very busy.
Now Just have to keep Daddy away from the smooties and juices..
Thank you for including me in the trial..

Hi Mums,
thanks to mummypages I had opportunity to test Innocent products.
We know and like Innocent smoothies. We bought them before.
With this trial we try for the first time innocent fruit tubes and juicy drinks. My son loved them all but especially he likes orange juicy drinks. He drank them to the last drop.
His favourite smoothie: cherries &strawberries,
fruit tubes: mangoes & pineapples - we freez them for lollipops - they are grate for a treat,
juicy drink: orange.
For me it is important that innocent products are NOT made from concentrates and have no added sugar and other unhealthy stuff. Because of that we will buy them more often and use Innocent products for lunch box.
I have only one problem, actually my son has - with opening the smoothies boxes. It is because of the shape of box. It is hard to break seal using a straw.
Thank You for picking me. ;)

Hi Mummypages
Thank you very much for the innocent products you sent my family.
I have to say they where a big hit with my two sons and one daughter. The products did not last too long as they wanted to test each one so quickly.
The smoothies where a huge hit with the children. I was quite surpirsed that they enjoyed each of the flavours so much as my children would not ordinarily eat some of the fruits contained inside e.g. cherries. I tried a small taste of each (as thats all they would let me have) and I thought they where very nice.
The juices where very tasty and I reckon they would have drank them all day long if they had of been let.
Of all the products I'd say the fruit tubes lasted the longest as the children much preffered the smoothies & juices. I thought the fruit tubes reminded me of pureed fruit that I would have given the children as babies. But the children liked them so thats all that matters.
Now that the school week is upon us I have to say that I will be adding innocent products to the lunch boxes from now on as I was so impressed with the taste and the healthy contents. It greatly impressed me that they do not contain the artificial products that many more branded items contain.
I will definitely be an innocent consumer from now on.
Many thanks again for such good healthy products.
Rachel

Hi There.[/b][/strike]Hi There, [/b]
[/b]Thanks for including us. We first became aware if Innocent through TV advertising. Since then we have purchased large cartons of Smoothies and multipacks. Usually when they were on special.
The first things we tried were the Fruit Tubes. Unfortunately these weren't popular and the comment was made that they resembled baby food. I tasted them and thought they were fine.
The juices were a big hit. We hadn't bought them before mainly based on price but after the reaction the kids had they will be on our list in future. Apple and Orange topped the list. They thought they tasted far superior to a concentrated product.
The Smoothies were a big hit. Like a wine tasting each one was quaffed anf then critqued with a careful examination of the ingredients. Favourites in order were Strawberry and Cherry, Apple and Blackcurrant and Pineapple, Mango and Oranges but they would drink any of them all day long.
I am more happy buying products not made from concentrates and containing sweetners, sugar or artifical preservatives. The words NAS are the worst thing to find.
Being able to give them one of their 5 a day in something they like is excellent and they are happy to be healthy.
In the case of Fruit Tubes although they weren't fond of the texture I thought the list of ingredients were excellent and will revisit them again. Easy to open too.
We read the freezing suggestion on the side of the package.
Cherry was a popular element and is in fact quite rare in these types of products. More cherry please.
I'm happy to buy Innocent products becuase I know the kids will eat them and they are healthy choices.
Any reluctance is based on price but I know there is a premium to paid for quality. I like to keep an eye for them on special.
For lunch boxes a mixture of Juicy Boxes and Smoothies.

I was aware of innocent brand my son likes the strawberry blackberries and raspberries smoothies.He loved innocent juice drink smoothies and fruit tubes I froze a lot of the fruit tubes as it said you can do in on one of the boxes him and all his friends loved them like that. I also have a 9month old who is teething who loved them frozen as well. He loved all of them in think the freezing the fruit tubes went down the best as he thought it was an Ice pop and was getting a treat. He preferred the apple juice. Strawberries blackberries and raspberries smoothies and the strawberry fruit tube. I liked the fact that each of these innocent products is not made from any bad stuff as I do not like my son to have many sugary products. It is very good to know that innocent juice drinks smoothies deliver one of your five a day

Hi Mummypages!
First of all I loved my innocent goodies.. my little man thought it was brillo all the smoothies & juice he got!
My son (only 3) & I are know the innocent brand. we usually get them when theres a special offer in the shops & he loves them. great healthy treat. Usually the smoothie cartons.
He loved the innocent bag of goodies.. Loved all 3.. all finished..all are brilliant for on the go. think ive a innocent addict!!
Think the smoohies was his favourite, he's had them before.
The orange flavour was his fave in both smoothie & tubes in the juice the apple was the number 1.
I love the fact there's no random e numbers or sugar & the rest. I kno0w he wont be bouncing off walls after a innocent treat!
The one of the five a day dont in one smoothie/tube/ juice is brillo.. only four more to worry about for the day! :)
I try to stay away from sugery snacks so the innocent range is ideal.
ahhh i never thought of freezing them! thats a brillo idea! smoothie pops!
Yes, I'll be buying these in the future.. both himself & I are impresed with the handiness, tastiness & the innocentness!!
thanks mummy pages & innocent for letting me & mine test the product :)

OK all of my innocent pack is completely gone, I have 4 girls aged 12, 6, 3 and 8mths now. All of my children loved all of the innocent products. I was fully aware of the innocent brand and had bought the smoothies before as I love how healthy they are and yet so tasty. My 3 yr old loved them the most I actually had to put them up high in the fridge cos everytime my back was turned she was in there grabbing them. My 12 yr old prefered the juices, my 6 yr old and 3yr old loved everything and the 8mth old loved the fruit tubes, she is teething at the minute so I froze the tubes and gave them to her cold and she was delighted. I felt that Innocent catered for all of my children as they are at different stages in their lifes at the minute.
As for favourite flavours my 3yr old could not pick a favourite she loved them all so I couldnt get an answer fro her at all ha but my 12 yr old loved the apple juices the best, my 6yr old loved cherries and strawberries smoothies the best and my 8mth old absoluely loved the strawberries and raspberries tubes. All my kids wanted them all day long I had to tell them to save some for another day, we had my sister arrive with her 4 children 3 boys and 1 girl (Ages 10, 7, 6 and 10mths) and they were thrilled I let them tast them too. her little guy was teething so I gave her my tip about the tubes and hey presto he was out of her arms sucking on the fruit tube and nice and quiet she got a great break and has now bought some herself lol.
I love the fact that they are all natural and contain no artificial preservatives or sugars etc and everytime my kids took one they read what was in it on the back of the carton they sat at the table telling me how to make their smoothie it was great, and even better that it was 1 of their 5 a day and my kids felt like they were getting a treat. I have coninued to buy these now and kids want them for lunch too so these are a permanant item on my shopping list now.Thank you mummypages x

Thanks so much to Mummy Pages and Innocent for involving me and my family in this trial. We were already aware of the Innocent Brand, as we had tried the Apple and Blackcurrant smoothies, but it was great to be able to try all the flavours and the juices and fruit tubes. My daughter loved the smoothies and the juicy drinks the most. Her favourite was still the Apple and Blackcurrant smoothie and the Apple juicy drink, but she also really liked the Cherries and Strawberries. She was thrilled with the little messages on the box where you put in the straw and thought they were really funny. My hubby was a big fan of the Oranges, Mango and Pineapple smoothie, and the juicy boxes. I loved the fact that it was getting one of her 5 a day into her, without a row over eating her vegetables, and that it was completely free of additives etc. She liked the innocent fruit tubes and I thought they would be a great snack for her lunchbox for school. She did though find the fruit tubes a little finicky to open and one squirted on her hair when she was opening it which to be honest kind of put her off, but I then froze them and she really enjoyed them. Maybe Innocent could take another look at the packaging of the tubes? I would definitely buy the smoothies and the juicy boxes again, as she really loved them and they are for me a great way to ensure she is getting at least one of her five a day and with no nasty additives. A lunch box staple for September will now be a juicy box and a frozen fruit tube!
