Juices & Smoothies

Surely not real oranges.........!

Advantages: Tastes great, real oranges
Disadvantages: Expensive

...then, along comes something like Tropicana that reminds me that there is a higher quality OJ out there, and that this may well be it! Tropicana is one of those drinks that we usually only have on special occasions, mainly due to the price. Originating from America, I suppose the main thing about this is that it is made using orange juice that isn't from concentrate: it's the actual juice you're getting in the carton. Taste wise, it really does ...
...favourite of this range. Tropicana has a fuller feel to it, with the gloopy nature of the juice making you think you are actually getting the real thing as opposed to it being watered down and flavourings added, which is the case with a lot of other OJs. I suppose the main thing here is that I'm quite happy to actually drink whatever OJ I come across, but every now and then it's really nice to have a top quality OJ, which Tropicana does have. Price ...

Review of Tropicana Pure Premium Original Orange Juice

Contains Superfruit!!!!!`

Advantages: tastes lovely
Disadvantages: doesnt really contribute towards your five a day

...using it. The Tesco Super fruit Smoothie is a dark purple colour and had a fairly thick consistency. It is a lot thicker and has more texture than the other brands of Smoothies I have bought in the past. Before I poured the Smoothie into a glass to give it the taste test I shook the bottle vigorously to mix all the bits of fruit together. Once I had poured it into the glass I had a good look at it before I drank it. It's a really dark purple colour ...
...each 1 litre bottle of Tesco Super Fruit Smoothie that there are ~ 50 Acai berries, 1¼ pomegranates, 50 red grapes, 240 blueberries, 4 ⅓ bananas and 2 oranges. If I would have read the label on the bottle before I tried the Smoothie I would have known that there were actually other fruits in it not just the three fruits which are printed on the front of the label on the bottle. I was quite baffled as to why the Smoothie was called a Super ...

Review of Tesco Super Fruit Smoothie, Pomegranate, Bluberry + Acai

Utter innocence in a bottle

Advantages: Really healthy; loads of flavours and varieties; great packaging
Disadvantages: I feel guilty about recycling the little innocent faced bottle; tad expensive

...its purchasers shows this. Innocent smoothies are, as you may gather, complete virgins to added sugar and other gunk like additives and preservatives. They are litterally, a bottle of pure pressed fruit. I'm reviewing the strawberry and banana variety because it's my favourite, plus the fact, the little bottle is sittign beside me; watching me type. aww. Let me start with the bottle seeing as it is sooo cute. I have a 250ml transparent plastic ...
...label is great fun as innocent like to add little quirks like: - 'We promise that we'll never use concentrates, preservative, stabalisers....And we promise to eat our greens.' The bottle is (quote) - 'made from 100% recyclable plastic. Please recycle it so we can make more.' Plus, we must 'shake it up baby' before drinking. Innocent promises - 'Never ever ever from concentrate' 'over 50% of RDA of vit c' '2 portions of fruit'. The ingredients ...

Review of Innocent Smoothie

One Down, Four to Go

Advantages: Very healthy and useful
Disadvantages: Not to everyone's taste

WHY DID I BUY IT? I try to follow govt guidelines (5 different fruit or veg a day), but really, I have been using this for years. I like it, but read on even if you don't, because you don't have to drink it! WHAT IS IT? Campbell's' V8 100% vegetable juice is a drink (but see below). The eponymous eight veg are: tomato, carrot, beetroot, watercress, celery, parsley and spinach. No artificial preservatives or colours, but there is added salt and ...
...salt I am a bit cross about the added salt: 0.60g per 100ml. Carbs 3.2g per 100 ml. 19 calories per 100 ml. No fat, as to the spices, pepper maybe? AVAILABILITY AND PRICE Sainsburys, Waitrose, Tesco, health food shops. It can be hard to find even in shops that stock it. Sometimes it's on the fruit juice shelf, sometimes among the breakfast items in larger Sainsburys. It's not that cheap: slightly more expensive than basic fruit juices. Depending ...

Review of Campbells V8 Vegetable Juice

You'd be hard pressed to beat it (Copella Fruit Juice - Apple)

Advantages: Tremendous taste and smell. Good for you!
Disadvantages: Pricey!

I shall be reviewing the 1 litre variety purchased from Tesco for £1.49. Packaging This product stands out amongst the crowd of apple juices available at your average supermarket. Firstly it is in a bottle and not a carton which immediately gives you the feeling of a superior product and you can also view the actual cloudy juice inside. The label is pleasant to look at and gives you the basic info (quantity, what it is actually made from) ...
...more, nothing less. Pricing At approximately £1.50 per litre this is not a cheap product, looking around the store you could pick up a litre of value muck for about 40 pence. In fact this was the most expensive apple juice per litre in the store. Taste = Exquisite is the word that best sums this up. It tastes like apples and immediately makes you realise how wrong cheap juices taste. As soon as I poured some of this out the aroma was fresh ...
