CeriMumsnet · 19/04/2021 16:08

This is the feedback thread for the Mumsnetters with children aged 2 - 6 who have been testing Soreen Fruit & Veg-Mmms in Orange & Rainbow Carrot and Blackberry & Beetroot flavours.

Here’s what Soreen has to say: “With Soreen Fruit & Veg-Mmms it’s never been easier to squidge more fruit and veg into your little one’s diet! Packed with the goodness of orange & rainbow carrot, and berry & beetroot (not that they’d know!), they’re deliciously sweet, bursting with yummy flavours and high in fruit and veg too! What’s more, each bake provides a source of fibre, is low in saturated fat and plant based too.With 5 individually wrapped bakes per pack, eating fruit and veg has never been easier or tastier.
So, if you’re a parent who wants to be able to say ‘yes’ instead of ‘no,’ to the constant ‘can I have…’ questions that kids love to ask; then stock up now on new, Soreen Fruit & Veg-Mmms and relax knowing that with every ‘Yes!’, they’re getting a healthier snack that’s high in fruit and veg!”

  1. What did you and your child like most about Soreen Fruit & Veg-Mmms?

The taste. Although the DC wouldn’t eat it I thought it was nice. They are extremely fussy though, so only ate one tiny piece of each, then said they wanted the ordinary soreen.
  1. What was your child’s favourite flavour?

Neither. Mine was the orange.
  1. When would your child eat this product? Perhaps a mid-morning snack or after lunch for example?

I would usually serve it after a sandwich, that’s when they eat original soreen. I don’t generally give them snacks separate to meal times.
  1. What is important to you when buying snacks for your child?

That they’ll hopefully eat it and it isn’t full of chemicals.
  1. What other flavours would you like to see in the Soreen Fruit & Veg-Mmms range?

Can’t think of any.

LadyWhistledown · 19/04/2021 18:14
  1. What did you and your child like most about Soreen Fruit & Veg-Mmms?


We both liked the texture, my daughter really likes the Soreen mini malt loaves and these were almost identical in shape and texture so felt very familiar to her. I liked the fact that they didn’t crumble and make lots of mess as she travels around the house/ repeatedly drops it on the floor/ eats it in the car seat.

  1. What was your child’s favourite flavour?


Beetroot and berry was her favourite. This pack disappeared very quickly as she chose this first every time. She wasn’t as enthusiastic about the carrot and orange but I think the orange taste put her off a bit as it was quite strong and tasted a bit like her multivitamin.

  1. When would your child eat this product?

Perhaps a mid-morning snack or after lunch for example?

Either a mid morning snack or at the end of nursery/day at the childminders. She always comes out ravenous and I am expected to have a snack ready as soon as she’s in the car! They are also handy to take out on the go.

  1. What is important to you when buying snacks for your child?


Taste, sugar content, natural flavours and colours rather than artificial. Whether or not she will eat it!

  1. What other flavours would you like to see in the Soreen Fruit & Veg-Mmms range?


Carrot and lemon
Sweet potato and cherry
Squash and apple
Sleepybumble · 19/04/2021 18:17
  1. What did you and your child like most about Soreen Fruit & Veg-Mmms?

Really tasty. Easy to grab on the go

Orange and rainbow carrot
  1. When would your child eat this product? Perhaps a mid-morning snack or after lunch for example?

As part of a pack lunch as a snack between main meals
  1. What is important to you when buying snacks for your child?

It's great if any treats or prepared foods have additional nutritional value,
  1. What other flavours would you like to see in the Soreen Fruit & Veg-Mmms range?

Apple and carrot with cinnamon
CardinalCat · 19/04/2021 18:17
  1. What did you and your child like most about Soreen Fruit & Veg-Mmms? They smelled rich and sweet and looked moist and delicious.
  2. What was your child’s favourite flavour? Carrot by far- this pack was gobbled up quickly. Less keen on the beetroot one but I’m working on them.
  3. When would your child eat this product? Perhaps a mid-morning snack or after lunch for example? After lunch/ part of a lunchbox
  4. What is important to you when buying snacks for your child? Low/no added sugar, no artificial nasties. Also try to avoid palm oil and I see that this product has this, but fairly low down in the ingredients list as to be presumably minimal content.
  5. What other flavours would you like to see in the Soreen Fruit & Veg-Mmms range? I’m sure banana and strawberry flavours would go down well with some hidden greens.
MichelleScarn · 19/04/2021 18:22
  1. What did you and your child like most about Soreen Fruit & Veg-Mmms? I liked the taste, ds 4 liked the taste, cartoon on the packaging and that he could open it on his own- "its not tricky as the arrow tells you where to rip".

Perhaps a mid-morning snack or after lunch for example?

The squidgeyness, the flavour of the berry one, the fact that they are a much healthier choice of snack.

Berry, none of us liked the orange and carrot, it tasted quite bitter, we loved the chocolate orange ones at Easter but the orange flavour was quite bitter in these ones.

Anytime really a morning snack, in their lunch boxes, after school.

She couldn’t choose but did agree she’d have the rainbow carrot and orange first (but of course she’d have to have both!).

We had them out on a family walk, perfect as easy to transport, minimal fuss snack to keep little legs going on the home stretch. Also great for nursery afternoon snack, often it’s difficult to find something that is tasty, healthy and lasts the day without being in the fridge.

Healthy options that are appealing to kids but also meet dietary requirements.

Honestly, I just want to see them eat something, keenly and enthusiastically so that I know they've eaten well and aren't going to be tired, grumpy and hungry within 5 minutes of a snack they only picked at. If it is high in nutrients and has bonuses like fibre and hidden veg, that's a win.

  1. What other flavours would you like to see in the Soreen Fruit & Veg-Mmms range?


Something green -maybe apple with kale or something like that?
