Robinsons Double Concentrate Squash

When I was asked to try the new Robinsons range of no added sugar double concentrate squash I said yes straight away.  This is the squash we always buy at home and I like Robinsons as a brand.  For me my favourite is Orange and Pineapple but my little squash drinker Miss E loves the summer fruits flavour. We were sent the lemon and apple and blackcurrent squashes and both of these were enjoyed.

The slogan being used by Robinsons for their new double concentrate squash is 'a lot from a drop', which I think is pretty catchy and definitely true. It took me a bit of getting used to pouring half the amount but it makes a lot of sense to use less plastic and have to store less volume to get the same amount of squash.

The squash is being sold in 1.25lt (£2.59 for 50 servings) and 1.75lt (£3.49 for 70 servings) bottles and these are shorter and fatter than the old style Robinsons bottles.  They feature an easy grip handle and have a good non-spill pouring top also.

All in all I was very happy with the double concentrate squash and we will continue to buy this now. All the big supermarkets are now stocking this, so go and try some for yourself!

This is a review post, I was sent 2 bottles of squash for review, my comments are honest and I was not told what to write.

Copella Apple Juice Cartons Review

I love apple juice, not the clear kind that is made from concentrate and costs but a few pence but real cloudy freshly pressed from apples, apple juice and this is exactly what Copella make....  and make exceedingly well too.

I was sent a 4 pack of their new cartons or wedges as they call them (think the shape of Innocent smoothie drinks) to test out and they were gone in literally minutes.  It is normally only me who drinks apple juice in this house but when the kids saw me with one they all wanted one too and everyone agreed they were fabulous.  That included Miss M who normally will only drink water or milk and while I know some Mums would kill to have a child who just asks for water all the time it is good to get some real fruit in her too.

The wedges are 180ml and a good size for a school lunch or picnic.  Each wedge provides 1 of your 5 a day and I love the fact that all the apples used to produce this juice are grown in the UK and hand picked and pressed at their farm in Suffolk.  It is wonderful to support a British company.

So we will be buying these again, not every day as they are a tad pricey for that (£2.49 for 4 wedges) but as a pic nic treat most definitely they will make it on to my shopping list.

This is a review post.  I was sent a 4 pack of apple juice to review. I was not instructed what to write, these words are my own and I remain honest.
