Advantages: great fruity taste, Refreshing

Disadvantages: Not good if you don't like banana's!

***WALLS***
As most of you will know Walls make a huge range of ice creams and lollies, including Calippo, Cornetto, Feast, Magnum, Mini Milk, Twister, Viennetta, Carte D'or and more. They are of course also famous for their huge tubs of soft scoop ice-cream also available in popular flavours. Walls make ice cream and treats in a huge range of different sizes and flavours for kids and for adults, so there is something for everyone.

***SOLERO SMOOTHIES***
This yummy, fruity Solero Smoothie lolly's are made from Walls and are Strawberry and Banana flavour. They also do other flavours in the Solero range but these are not in the smoothie range. Other Solero flavours include Berry Berry and Exotic. Solero Smoothie is a delicious ice cream coated in a fruit sorbet with the great combination of strawberry and banana. It also contains no artificial colours or flavours.

***TASTE TEST***
When taking the lolly out of the bright, colourful plastic wrapper, you can see that the lolly is a deep purple colour with a hint of red in it. It smells quite fruity and looks as though the sorbet has bits in it which I am guessing is from the Strawberries they use to make the sorbet with. (I can't bite into ice cream/lollies due to sensitive teeth), as I start to lick the sorbet on the outside it's light and fruity with a slightly tangy taste which is quite nice. After licking this off it reveals a white ice-cream centre which taste of banana's which I thought as first was a strange combination but the 2 taste lovely together.

After finishing the lolly I was satisfied as this was fruity and delicious and I didn't even really notice the small bits in the sorbet which is good considering I hate yogurts with seeds or bits of fruit in. Overall I think this tasted more of banana than anything else, but I still enjoyed it and would buy them again.

***PRICE/AVALIABILITY***
I was in Sainsbury's the other day and I was looking in the ice cream section for something fruity and these caught my eye. I think they were about £2.19 for a box of these in which you get 3 lollies. These are available from Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda and other good super-markets. You may also be able to buy these singly form your local shop or a newsagents.

***OVERALL OPINION***
These are delicious fruity lollies but I wouldn't recommend them if you don't like banana's or don't even like the slightest taste of banana's as these taste more of banana than anything else really. I would probably try the other Solero lollies as well as these were nice to eat on a warm summer's day (not that we get much warm weather here!). They are refreshing and satisfying and I would definitely buy these again!
