Innocent Smoothie Drinks... A Waste Of Money?

[Antics^^]

Anyone tried them? Thoughts?

They're lovely. They do an excellent book of smoothie recipes too.

They're pasturised to hell and back so not as good for you as they claim to be. Nice drink but I've had nicer.

They're very tasty, especially the banana ones, but very expensive. So I only buy them occasionally when they're on sale cheap.

Theyre nice but not that tasty I find.

They really help me get through long shifts with out snacking on crisps etc.

I'm sure I read somewhere that they're not actually that healthy either, they have a lot of calories in and seem to be one of those products that people think are good for you, but actually aren't that great...

I tried them once but didnt like them. The banana one made me

The wife got me a juicer for £20 from coles and i find juicing fruit is much nicer and not much trouble either.

'Healthy' is a strange one. They don't have artificial additives and the like, as far as I'm aware, and hence they're given the 'natural' and 'healthy' tag.

 

However, some of them are high in calories, and not necessarily 'healthy' in that respect. If you made the same smoothies at home (bananas, maple syrup, full fat milk, for example), it'd be similarly 'natural' but still be high in calories.
