When the fact that a friend arriving twenty minutes late for lunch meant that I could not have the mango cheesecake for dessert it meant the end of a friendship, this might seem harsh but over my lifetime I have had many friends but I have never come across the combination of my favourite pudding, cheesecake, with my favourite fruit, mango, so I was not best pleased at his tardiness. I do love pretty much anything mango flavour and hence I was pleased to get hold of a three pack of mango iced smoothie made by the man that likes to say yes at Del Monte. In texture and appearance these iced smoothies reminded me of the orange solaro ice cream, they are about the ...  Read the complete review

Ok, to start off I shall confess....I hate ice cream. Utterly hate it, I think it tastes like cows. There, I've said it - hang, draw and quarter me I don't care, but I refuse to eat it. I'm not very good with dairy milky things in general to be honest. So these ice lollies are an absolute godsend! They are the closest things to ice cream...without tasting anything like ice cream. They are filling, more-ish and an absolute delight to eat. Price I got mine out of Sainsbury's. They were 1.99 reduced to 99p. Bargain! I bought these ones and the strawberry and bannana ones too. (I made the fatal mistake of opening the box on my way home from the ...  Read the complete review

When doing my weekly shop, I am always on the lookout for new and interesting goods to pop into the trolley. I always scour the freezers, and especially the ice lolly section as no matter what the weather, the kids (and boyfriend!) always nag me to make sure we have a selection of ice lollies in. Last week, I noticed that Tescos had some Del Monte Smoothie lollies on offer. I had previously noticed these before, but never actually purchased them due to their normal cost. The normal price for a pack of these is £2.39 for just 3 lollies, which as the pennies are quite tight at present, cannot be justified. However, this week they are just £1.00 a pack, which ...  Read the complete review

Ice cream and lollies is not something I usually eat at all really unless it's blistering hot weather (which it really isn't now lol). However my mate likes that sort of thing so when we go shopping together (I am staying with her at the moment) she'll pick stuff up like this and I usually end up trying it. This was something she purchased last week, x's 3 boxes all in one go. Not because they were on offer of anything but because she enjoys them and as she was purchasing them she was raving how healthy they are! The Packaging: Light peach and white box to which the front and the back of the box are the same in appearance. I am told that they are ...  Read the complete review

I'm a sucker for ice cream and ice lollies, especially in summertime. Now that it's colder though. I'm not eating as many, but I have found one which I continue buying all year round. Del Monte Mango Smoothie Lollies come in packs of three, and are not ice lollies. They are iced smoothie lollies. If you were to melt them you'd be left with a mango smoothie, not a load of mango flavoured water. The lollies are priced at £2.29 for a pack of three, which I'm sure you'll agree is very expensive. I found that over the summer, more often than not Tesco had them on offer. I bought them several times for £1 or £1.50 a pack. Currently they have them on 2 ...  Read the complete review
