Mars Refuel

Both of my kids are milkshake mad at the minute and I usually end up indulging them as it's a good way to increase their milk intake if nothing else. This Mars Refuel drink found its way into our trolley the other day, although it didn't last very long in the fridge, thanks to the human locusts in our household! I haven't seen this particular Mars product for sale before but it appears to have been around for a while as, according to the packaging, a Mars Refuel drinks fund has been going since 2008. We found this in the chilled aisle alongside other milk based drinks, although this is actually a UHT product so technically doesn't need refrigerating until it ...  Read the complete review

I saw this advertised on TV on the other day and it immediately made me want to go out and buy it, after all who wouldn't want their favourite chocolate bar in a drink. Nevertheless I resisted, I eat far too much rubbish as it is, I don't need to drink chocolate too!! But when I did my weekly shop in Morrisons I was surprised to see the 1 litre carton on special offer, at only £1 I had to give into temptation. The packaginig for this drink is a Tetra Pakl as a lot of other milk drinks are and looks very familiar, just about everyone will recognise the well known colours of the Mars bar brand making this cartpn stand out from the rest of the milk shake drinks ...  Read the complete review

I love milky chocolate drinks whether they are hot or cold so I've been in my element while Morrisons had an offer on for this 'Mars Refuel drink recently! They have been nearly half price on offer for a pound for a litre carton of the most gorgeous chocolate, malt and caramel drink, yum yum! I remember these coming out and begging for one to try but they were really expensive but every so often they become a bargain then I simply have to have one, lol! Sold is a classy black carton with the famous Mars name in red, the refuel name is trademarked and it's done really well. On the front of the cardboard pack (recycle please!) it says there ...  Read the complete review

I didn't realise that this was supposed to be some kind of sports style drink to be consumed to give you extra energy till I looked up this drink and found that it was named Mars Refuel rather than just Mars. According to the bottle information, research carried out showed that cyclists who drank Mars Refuel were able to carry on for 50% longer than those who had traditional sports drinks. Now I don't know who carried out the reasearch but this would be quite surprising were it to be true. From a personal perspective, I can't imagine this helping me much were I thirsty after doing sport, all I would want is water. I drink this because I like ...  Read the complete review

Mars refuel is a gorgeous tasting drink. Yeah it's meant to give you energy and boasts a load of stuff about providing rapid recovery for athletes due to it's 4:1 carbohydrate:protein ratio, but let me explain, I'm a lazy bum and me drinking this has nothing to do with sports, so I can't comment from that perspective. I love milkshakes but not thick ones. They feel a bit claggy and gloopy, and I don't enjoy the texture. Mars refuel is perfect for me, from this perspective. It's not too thick at all, but still has a lovely rich mars chocolate/caramel taste. Very sweet but not sickly. I am a chocolate enthusiast mind you, so sickly to me would probably be a pile ...  Read the complete review
