Advantages: Tastes lovely, nice and thick, one of your five a day
Disadvantages: Not that much cheaper than innocent.
INTRODUCTION
There are so many smoothies out there, and they are such an easy was to get some of your 5-a-day in. Unfortunately they are so expensive! They always say its cheaper to make your own, but I just dont have the time in the morning. I turned to own brands in the hope of finding a good product at a great price..
PACKAGING
It comes in standard 750ml cardboard carton. In many ways I think this is great. Its what you are used to and it fits well in your fridge. Recently the packaging has changed slightly. It has windows down the side so you can see how much you have left (very useful) and has some interesting little things to read on the carton (very similar to a well-known quality smoothie brand...)
PRODUCT AND TASTE
You get one of your five a day in each glass. This less than what you get in innocent smoothie, which to me implies there less of the fibre of the fruit in the tesco smoothie. Despite that its still lovely and thick, and it tastes like it is packed full of fruit.
As I don't really eat breakfast, this smoothie was perfect to have in the morning. Not only does it taste great (as good as innocent) but really fills me up and set me up for the day.
PRICE
They are normally £2.29 for a 750 ml bottle, but they were on offer 2 for £3.50. As far as I can see, they are quite reguarly on special offer and promotions.
However at the moment at tesco you can get 2 750 ml cartons of innocent smoothie for £4 - only 50p more than for Tesco own brand. Taking this into account, I think it might be more worth while to just spend that extra 50p and get innocent smoothie.
CONCLUSION
There is no doubt that this is a tasty smoothie, however it is almost the same price as Innocent smoothie. For an own brand item I would expect much more of a bargain price. I think if innocent is on offer I will be opting for the quality rather than this one.
Summary: Tasty enough, but not much cheaper than innocent, and not quite as nice
