we had the kids ones that were half price in asda and they were as thick as the standard ones although the shape make it difficult to get all the smoothie out.

you prob already know that innocent dont just make smoothies they do juices as well possible explanation as to why it was watery

No --- these are not the squeezy ones... these are the 1L cartons
They look like the normal smoothies only they say ""Innocent smoothie for kids" and have a "New for Kids" logo top left of the label.

They should say "WARNING: This is Watery" on them somewhere :rotfl:

Thinking about it now, why don't we start a thread somewhere saying where there is currently an offer for Innocent smoothies?

They are currently a "mere" £2 for a carton in Asda (apart from the gold coloured packet one with the Super Berries!).

The fact you are drinking 2 litres a day probably means you are consuming a hell of a lot of calories (counter productive to your gym work) I think a litre a day is easily more than enough.

I just had PJ smoothies and it seemed to me watery. Does Innocent and PJ have the same supplier who is probably preparing smoothies in the open ground so he/she doesnt get blamed for adding water himself/herself?

Heheh :rotfl: :rotfl:

The reasons I drink so much are firstly because I use them to replace my raw fresh fruit intake and I go to the gym a lot and therefore need to drink a lot of fluids anyway. Although sometimes they are so thick that you don't feel less thirsty after drinking them and need water to wash them down with. (Probably means more time in the toilet!)

As far as being able to afford them; they are frequently on offer at one supermarket or another, and when I see them i buy a whole shelf full! (I have an american fridge, heh) It is still a lot of money though but I think it is worth it when it keeps you really healthy, and hopefully makes you live a bit longer..

I once emailed innocent with some comments about their drinks and they sent me about £10 in vouchers. Thanks innocent!

Has anyone else noticed how awkward the 1L cartons are when opening? You need so much force to open that plastic ringpull that when it comes off, it often results in some splashback. This is especially a nuisance with the darker berry flavours since they are thick and can stick tyo the underside of the ringpull.

Would it not be more cost effective (and less awkward to open) to buy a juicer and juice your own fruit?


Sorry Mr Innocent who is on the thread, i don't mean to take a customer away from you lol.:rotfl:

It's pretty impressive that Innocent have found this thread and posted that they're happy to answer any queries; can you imagine what would happen if someone (say, Tesco?) offered such a proactive and friendly approach to customer service issues?

Fizziness is definitely a sign that the fruits have started to ferment. I don't know if its actually bad for you or not ...

FWIW I drank the first fizzy one I had, but it gave me an upset stomach so never again!

Drinking 2 cartons of the stuff a day would certainly result in some splashback-and not the sort you'd want on your shirt!

I never drink them as I am put off by the price-have tried them once but made me feel a bit sick, not to mention the other efffects....

:rotfl: I can't believe it, I did a search on innocent smoothies on here to see if anyone else had trouble with those plastic ring pulls, I just got smoothie all over my white Live 8 t-shirt because of that! :mad: I pray it comes out, smoothie's delicious though. Perhaps only wear dark clothes when opening from now on
