Innocent smoothies contents

[Guest2]

In a 750ml carton there is the follow (in blackcurrent and apple)

2.5 pressed apples
2 mashed bananas
16 pressed white grapes
4 crushed strawberries (7%)
72 crushed blackcurrents (7%)
11 crushed blackberries (6%)
.5 squeezed oranges
a squeeze of lime

An innocent smoothie is a blend of whole crushed fruit, pure juices, and absolutely nothing else. And because it gives you the whole fruit and not just the juice, you get more of the healthy bits; the flesh, the fibre, the good stuff.

My question is how can all that fruit fit in 750ml? and for just £2

I am tempted to go to the supermarket and buy the contents of one, blend it and see if it fits. It may cost a tenner but im still tempted.

Has anyone else tried something like this? I love smoothies and make my own but innocent ones are really nice (and I imagine with that list of fruit for £2, a lot cheaper)

The quality of the fruit in the smoothies may not be the same as you may buy in the supermarket. Or else it might be all the odd shaped fruits and what not.

Yeh I suppose. That's stupid of the supermarkets really as it was highlighted recently as one of the things causing mass food waste. Personally if I see a weird shaped fruit or veg, I but it over the 'normal' shaped ones

Why would that list of ingredients cost £10

Apples 40p
bananas 30p
grapes 10p
strawberries 40p
blackberries 60p

+ blackcurrants, orange, lime


And that's not even using all the cheapest stuff and generous with weights. Never mind buying in bulk or whatever.

Grapes for 10p, Strawberries 40p? Last time I went shopping a punnet of grapes was £2+ and im sure blackberries and blackcurrents are £2.50. Granted bananas are cheap at about 10p each

Make your own much healthier with the whole ingredients from the op but you'll need added fruit juice and yogurt to make it the right consistency.

This is what I dont understand, how do they have a yogurt consistency if there is only banana and fruit juice in?

It also says on the packaging that the 'whole fruit is used' yet there are no bits and seeds. I call shenanigans
