Smoothies are quite popular amongst consumers seeking a beneficial refreshment but are often loaded with sugar, so the Innocent Super Smoothies Light range has been launched in the UK to offer a lower sugar alternative.
The smoothie range is made with 100% fruit and features 30% less natural sugar than the original lineup, which is achieved thanks to the ingredients used. The smoothies come in two flavor options including Berry light which has strawberries, watermelon and raspberries in the mix, while Tropical Light is made with pineapple, guava and orange along with a hint of turmeric and yellow pepper.
The Innocent Super Smoothies Light range contains 120 calories per 300ml bottle and are reported to have high levels of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6 and E in the mix as well as fiber.
