They are expensive, but you get a lot for your money. Packet full of vitamins, its your 2 a day in one glass. And they taste really good. No more sunnyD. :D

Trouble is i've tried 4, the strawberry, the blackberri, blueberry and pomegranate one. But the pomegranate one was a bit strong, its an acquired taste maybe after a few weeks of drinking it. Haven't tried the others, pineapple one sounds a bit sick.

Flavours:

strawberries & bananas :D
mangoes & passion fruits :?:
kiwis, apples & limes :?:
pineapples, bananas & coconuts :?:
cranberries, blueberries & cherries :)
blackberries, strawberries & boysenberries :)
pomegranate, blueberry and acai :oops:

A nice bit of irrelevent information for anyone who cares......

If you ever phone them up, they are trained to answer the call with the words "Hello Banana Phone".

Reason for this is because when they were starting out as a company there office phone was shaped like a banana. And now its customary to keep it going.

Now, you may continue the thread in the correct way......

Don't like them, make your own - its cheaper and much better for you. 90% of the 'goodness' is lost in the processing. What's the sugar content too ?

What a crock of bollocks, Shogun :lol:

They make a decent change from plain fruit juice & it's real fruit. I can remember growing up with Del Monte marketing and only discovering later on that it was a pile of shite and their juices were from concentrate.

Resounding thumbs up for Innocent from me.

Kiwi is an acquired taste.Then there's the research that suggest whole fruit is best as too much liquid fructose interferes with your insulin levels so that suggests moderation.Still better than the concentrated form made mostly from artificial sugar and water.

The Kiwi one is tasty if you ask me. Tastes like the filling of an apple pie.

The orange and passion is nice but a bit strong.

The pineapple and coconut one is a bit heavy. I like it but it is not the best.

Anyway, screw the health you need to start mixing some spirits in with 'em! For example Vodka + the coconut/pineapple one taste like Pina colada!

I can get drunk whilst being healthy at the same time. :mrgreen: Apparently.

Tried the mango one by accident. Wasn't as bad as i thought it would be, mango was suppressed by passion fruit thankfully.
As for the pineappple and coconut. I daren't touch that. Don't like pineapple, and vehemently hate coconut, but the banana taste may swamp it, so i may try a little bottle.
