innocent drinks - a blog about our smoothies and some other stuff

You might have noticed lately or your kids might have noticed for you, that special packs of innocent smoothies for kids and innocent fruit tubes come with wonderful free magnets for kids to have fun with. They are a brand new design of mix and match characters with ten to collect in total. We've also got some brand new magnet games on our kid's website www.innocentkids.com

Better yet, our kid's smoothies have no bits, no rubbish, no added sugar, no preservatives, no concentrates. Actually, it would be easier to just say that they have no added anything at all. Innocent smoothies for kids are made from 100% pure crushed fruit and fruit juice. They are like our grown up smoothies, but with recipes specially selected for kids. The great news is each little carton gives you an average of 1.4g of fibre, 100% RDA of vitamin C, count as one portion of fruit and are perfect for lunchboxes.

scroll down to today's question to win the green goodies

Paddy’s festivalhas begun so we’re going all green from now until March 18th. Now before you say we don’t know our bottoms from our funny bones and that Paddy’s day is actually on March 17th no need to worry, we know that, we’re just extending the green this year……you’ll see what we mean next week.

Everyday from now till next Thursday there’s a little collection of innocent goodies* up for the taking with all sorts of green stuff to be won including little bottles of our kiwis, apples and limes smoothie...

* Goodies: green innocent hoodie, green innocent t-shirt, case of kiwis, apples and limes smoothies, wee-ometer and an innocent shopper.

To win we’ll be testing your greenness, Irishness, inventiveness, canniness and any other ‘ness’ we can think of in the next 7 days.

march 12th

So to get the ball rolling, one box of green goodies to be won today for the best limerick posted to comments here on the blog. Bonus points awarded for using some of these words: smoothie, squeezie, fruit or green.

Here’s one for inspiration:

A sweet Irish lassie named Rose
Liked to feel the grass with her toes
She was taken by surprise
and could not believe her eyes
When her toes turned green as her clothes.

Good Luck.

March 12th Winner:

We are pretty impressed with how creative (and clean) the limericks are. Tough choice but the winner today is Jennifer.

There once was a girl called Ruby,
Who used green fruit to whip up a smoothie,
But she forgot the blender cover,
Now she and her mother,
Will be cleaning the kitchen 'til Tuesday

Well done Jennifer, email your details to howaya@innocentdrinks.ie and we will send out your goodies.
