The Full 'Del Monte!'

Advantages: Vegan. No Artificial colours, preservatives, flavours or sweeteners. Only 78 calories per lolly. 100% RDA for Vit 'C'.
Disadvantages: Only sold in boxes of 4, so not available individually.

...A chance for me to enjoy a respite and any relaxation is a rare occurrence during the school summer holidays, and to actually concur with some hot sunny weather is even more obscure. But just like a lottery win, these things do happen, and once the children had temporarily vacated the premises in order to pursue their hectic social lives, it was my prompt to hit the sun bed and lap up some rays. Twas a lovely day too, laying there, my mind drifting off to a fantasy beach on a fantasy isle... Somewhere tropical, where warm ebbing waters tickled white sandy shores. Basking in the sun and dreaming... aaaa this was the life... I was suddenly gripped by a desire to compliment my newfound freedom with my latest discovery whilst in Sainsburys, a Del Monte Pineapple 'Fruit Ice' lolly. Although Del Monte now makes wide ranges of juices...

Review of Del Monte Pineapple Fruit Ices

Del Monte Superfruit , Super taste - We say YES

Advantages: really refreshing , great taste
Disadvantages: packs of three mean my husband and I will fight over who gets the third!

...I came by these Del Monte smoothie ice lollies by accident, whilst shopping in Morrisons supermarket, I was first drawn by the offer price, 3 for £1. Great I thought, asuming from the packaging I was buying Forest fruits flavour. Imagine my disappointment when taking one from the box and reading the unusual combination of Blueberry, pomegranate and cranberry - of course "super fruits", all having beneficial health properties but not what I would have chosen when I fancied an ice cream. However I was amazed how nice they were. My idea of a smoothie being made with yoghurt, I expected it might not be the most thirst quenching experience, I was wrong. The Superfruit smoothie has a very tangy exciting flavour which smells delicious. Ice cold and refreshing it was perfect for that hot afternoon...

Del Monte - Dentists Dream

Advantages: Full of vitamins
Disadvantages: Rots teeth, too much sugar

...I think one of the things I like about Ciao is that you have the ability to write on any subject. Sometimes you revert back to a paid category but often you are writing about ghosts, days gone by and life, or death in general. On this occasion I revert back to a paid category. At least I hope it is as I have not checked! I cannot give you a reason why I feel the need to write about most products. I suppose like everyone else it is to try to earn a few pennies to make the time on-line seem worthwhile. So on this occasion I want to take the opportunity to write to you about "Del Monte Fruit Burst!"- Orange ~*~ THE PACKAGING ~*~ ********************* Sold to you in a dark orange carton with moist oranges pictured on the front Del Monte Fruit Burst - Orange comes to you in both 250 ml cartons and 1 Litre cartons...

Review of Del Monte Fruit Burst Orange

Del Monte mango smoothie - in case it isn't cold enough already

Advantages: Tasty, low calorie
Disadvantages: high sugar

...At this time of year, ice creams and the like don't usually feature too heavily in my shopping basket, but when I see some on special offer, I make room in my freezer. These were reduced at the supermarket - a pack of three 90ml lollies cost £1, about half their regular price. They are long life - the best before date is about two and a half years into the future. Del Monte Mango smoothie are my favourite alternative to ice cream and nicer than ice lollies. Made from 30% mango puree, they are basically a frozen version of a fruit smoothie - smooth and creamy like ice cream, but without the dairy. What are the lollies like? The smoothies come on a stick like an ice lolly, are bright orange (which stains!) and tear shaped. They look very similar to choc ice lollies such as Magnums, but minus the chocolate shell. In texture, they...

Review of Del Monte Refreshing Mango Iced Smoothie

The Man from Del Monte sucked this!

Advantages: Tasty and very juicy.
Disadvantages: Not available all the time.

...Back in the summer months, when it was hot to say the least, anything bought from the supermarket had to be of a refreshing quality. While cooling down in the freezer section of the local Sainsburys, a familiar looking sight met my beady eyes. No, not in the freezer section surely? Someone must have put a carton of juice in the freezer!? Curiosity playing her part, this girl took a closer look! Ooh! Mister "Del Monte" you have been very busy. You have been creating an ice lolly. Like I mentioned, was the famous green and red logo with the Del Monte quality sign and the words Orange fruit ice with orange juice. Yes. In a cardboard carton sat four of these lollies at the price of 1.99 or buy one, get one free. BOGOF to you and me, that is. Straight in the trolley two of these cartons went and found sanctuary in my freezer. Not...

Review of Del Monte Orange Ice Lolly

The girl from Del Monte she says yes

Advantages: juice content, the pineapple layer, good sourceof vitamin C
Disadvantages: perhaps too much sugar orange not quite as nice

...It has been hot, sweat pouring off my body and sticking to my clothes hot. In this weather I want a nice cool refreshing ice-lolly as I find ice cream and chocolate concoctions too heavy and rich, I was pleased to find a nice simple fruit flavoured lolly, Del Monte Fruitini fruit icein my local newsagents. I was attracted to this lolly for a number of reasons. I consider Del Monte to be a quality brand that I trust and hoped the ice-lolly would be no exception. I also chose it as the flavours orange, strawberry and pineapple really appalled to me. I hoped hat it would be fairly natural and nice and juicy without being too sickly as I was looking for a really refreshing lolly. I must admit I was also attracted by the colourful wrapper. The lolly looks really tempting. It is a regular arched shape, which I associate with lollies...

Del Monte Summer Berry Smoothie - Quality!

Advantages: Bits inside, refreshing
Disadvantages: none actually!!!

...Del Monte Smoothie (Summer Berry) This is a review of the Summer Berry Del Monte Smoothie. As you probably know, within the last sort of two or three years, smoothie sales have hit a high and many companies are now producing quality smoothies, going by the market fashion. Soft drinks are slowly but surely being replaced by the healthier smoothie. What are smoothies? Smoothies are fruit drinks, which can be bought or produced at home. It?s basically a blend of mashed up exotic fruits, for example pineapple and mango etc. Smoothies are pulpy and fruity and shouldn?t really contain sugar or sweeteners to increase awareness of healthy eating and drinking. Certain smoothies have bits of fruit in them. Del Monte? The smoothie I am reviewing today is one from Del Monte. Now if you have had any products made by Del Monte then you...

Review of Del Monte Strawberry and Banana Smoothie

THE MAN FROM DEL MONTE HE IS FORGIVEN!!!

Advantages: lovely and refreshing
Disadvantages: none

...I feel much better about writing this opinion than I have any other The simple fact of the matter is a few weeks ago I wrote an opinion on Del Monte sorbet lollies and it was the first food opinion I have written and said I didn’t like the product. Now I can say Del Monte all is forgiven as they make the finest Orange lolly I have ever tasted. I was at Safeway last week for a wee change and I noticed the BOGOF of del Monte orange lollies. They come in a box of four. The box is bright green and a picture of the lollipop on the front with orange slices around it. Oh! I nearly forgot they were £1.99 a box but with the BOGOF you get the 2 for that The lolly itself is in a greaseproof wrapper exactly the same picture on it as in on the box. It is 75ml and has the real smell of oranges. It has a strong orange colour...

Review of Del Monte Orange Ice Lolly

youve been del monte'd

Advantages: Fresh, taste smell, all brillaint
Disadvantages: a bit pricey

...You will see in my other opinions that I have an opinion of Tesco Value Orange Juice which I hated very much. Though, the tables have turned around as I find this type of Orange Juice brilliant! ----- Well I bought this type of orange juice because it’s a top brand, the packaging looked didn’t look cheap and that thought it would taste ALOT better than the Tesco Value range. Again, it comes in a cardboard like package with a green background and two oranges on the front. It has a small Del Monte sign in red and white with Pure Orange Juice underneath. On the back, it tells you how to make soup; you get these on every Del Monte product except different ones on different types. I think it’s really handy as it’s also very good for you too. It also has all the ingredients, ect. aswell. The lid is simple to use. Open, peel...
