Most of the time I make my own lunches to take to work, but on days when I am less prepared and don't have the time or money to go out somewhere for lunch then I will make a beeline to Boots. They do a popular meal deal which costs £3.29 and for this price you can get a sandwich/salad/wrap along with a snack and a drink. Since discovering this Naked Antioxidant Green Machine smoothie it has always been my first choice of drink. To buy this drink alone it costs £2.50 for a 450ml bottle which is quite expensive when compared to similar items available, so I always think of it as good value for money to get one included with my £3.29 lunchtime meal deal.

I'm a big fan of the Innocent smoothies, in particular the Kiwi, Apples & Lime smoothie - a tasty way of getting all those vitamins (when there are colds going round the office I try to eat and drink as much fruit and veg as possible!). However, when I went into Boots for a meal deal they had sold out... oh the dilemma! Naked Green Machine Antioxidant Apple, Pineapple and Kiwi Juice Smoothie, hidden on the top shelf, seemed like the next best option. Naked Green Machine is a grey-green 'pond algae' colour - but it does look like it would be good for you! The drink contains 3 &1/3 apples, 1 banana, 1/3 kiwi, 1/3 mango and 1 slice of pineapple as the ...  Read the complete review

Recently I travelled to Glasgow to celebrate the birthday of my very special daughter who also happens to be vegan. On arriving in the departure lounge at Stansted I had quite a long wait for the plane, and decided to search out a drink to pass the time. Normally I would choose decaf coffee ( I can't drink caffeine as I have ME, and it does strange things to my heart rhythm) but as I was thinking about my daughter and her healthy lifestyle my attention was drawn to a rather interesting and slightly strange looking bottle in Starbucks called Green Machine. I knew she would pick that, I just knew it, but since she has been at uni I am not quite as sure of her ...  Read the complete review

I am a big fan of ready to drink smoothies and one of the best brands I have tried are the Naked smoothies. I found the following about them on their website: The Naked Juice story began in 1983 when a young man delighted thirsty beachgoers by serving his juices towel-to-towel on the beaches of Santa Monica, CA. Waking up early to seek out only the freshest fruits and vegetables in the produce markets of Los Angeles, he home-squeezed and blended his creations before heading to the beach with his juices and a backpack full of ice. His efforts brought forth rave reviews. Naked juice caught on commercially starting with a small account in a grocery store right ...  Read the complete review

~* Why I Bought It *~ I like to think that nowadays I have a pretty healthy diet, but I have to admit that I'm not really much of a fan of fruit and vegetables and I definitely don't eat my five a day - more like three, at the most! I saw this drink in Waitrose last weekend and thought that it sounded like a great way to get all of the nutrition from lots of fruit and veg without actually having to eat it! ~* Price *~ I paid around £2.40 for the 450ml bottle, which I don't think is too expensive considering that the drink is very nutritious and I'm sure that if someone bought all of the exact ingredients themselves and made the drink it ...  Read the complete review
