What did you like or dislike about these smoothies?
I mostly liked these, they were a nice little snack in between lunch and dinner. I liked that they were quick as I’m working for home and quite busy at the moment. I did notice that the packet says to keep at room temperature but I didn’t like them at room temp and preferred them cold from the refrigerator.
What size smoothie would you prefer to consume as a healthy snack portion? A) 120g pouch or B) 150g pouch.
120g
How convenient do you find the Swisse Me smoothie pouch format on a scale from 1-10 (10 being the best)?
10. Very convenient, would be perfect to keep in my bag on a busy day.
How tasty did you find Swisse Me smoothies on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best).

1. They were mostly quite good. I really didn’t like the pear or the cocoa ones though.

Would you consider buying Swisse Me smoothies in the future? If yes, why? Yes, if I could choose my flavours. Would you recommend these smoothies to a friend? If yes, why? Yes, a great snack for out and about, busy days and after workouts.

What did you like or dislike about these smoothies?

I liked the fact they were fairly low calorie and useful on the go, and liked that the base flavour of apple worked well in most of them. some of the flavours like mango, cocoa, chia, and pear were particularly nice in flavour and texture and would like to buy these if the came separately or could choose these and actually like the grittiness of the chia seeds one however some of the flavours like both the coffees and the beetroot and spinach one I really wasn't keen on. The beetroot flavour was too strong for me. The Quinoa one wasn't very nice, the only way I can describe is that it tastes a bit dirty, like the apple sauce is mixed in a bowl that hasn't been washed up. That flavour wasn't for me at all. A couple of them, I think the coffee date one was really too thick, more like baby food than what I would class as a smoothie.

Also thought it odd that some of them Ginger for example contained as little as 3% of the ingredient it was named after and mostly apple puree/pear puree which was around 50 or 60%.

What size smoothie would you prefer to consume as a healthy snack portion? A) 120g pouch or B) 150g pouch.

I would choose A) As I think that the portion is fine, if you made it bigger than the calories would go up and the amount was perfect.

How convenient do you find the Swisse Me smoothie pouch format on a scale from 1-10 (10 being the best)?

1. Nice looking pouches and fairly convenient but I dint like that they weren't resealable and if out would have had to find a bin for the lid or hold on to it.

How tasty did you find Swisse Me smoothies on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best).

I'm going to have to say 5 as some of them were amazing as stated in Q1 but some awful. A right mix!

Would you consider buying Swisse Me smoothies in the future? If yes, why?

I might, but only if I could hand pick the flavours and not just how they currently come. And probably only if they were on offer. for a family on a budget they're quite pricey.

Would you recommend these smoothies to a friend? If yes, why?

I have mentioned them, but as such have said some are nice and some are not. so yes. I would be mainly selling them on the health benefits and convenience aspects rather than the flavours.

What did you like or dislike about these smoothies?
I like the packaging. It’s fun but grown up. I like that you can put the lid back on and store some for later. And oddly I like and dislike the squeeze pouch...it makes me feel like I’m eating a baby pouch, but also it’s so handy, esp for on the go!
They are slightly more expensive than I would like.

What size smoothie would you prefer to consume as a healthy snack portion? A) 120g pouch or B) 150g pouch.
I would probably prefer a smaller pouch as I would easily consume too many calories

10

How tasty did you find Swisse Me smoothies on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best).
Most of them were a 9.

Would you consider buying Swisse Me smoothies in the future? If yes, why?
Yes! The energy boost Blend ones really boosted me and enabled me to stay awake when I felt like I needed to nap! They were actually fantastic.

Would you recommend these smoothies to a friend? If yes, why?
Yes - they taste good and they fill you up and the energy ones really do help to boost you!

What did you like or dislike about these smoothies?

Generally wasn't sure about the texture of most of them. They were very thick, and particularly the ones with apple as a main flavour did taste like baby food. But the packaging was great, the outer box was very pretty. And some of the flavours were delicious, but some were fairly unpleasant. They were a good snack though, and I found the boost me ones did give a boost and were nicely filling.

What size smoothie would you prefer to consume as a healthy snack portion? A) 120g pouch or B) 150g pouch.

120 was enough

How convenient do you find the Swisse Me smoothie pouch format on a scale from 1-10 (10 being the best)?

I liked the packaging a lot, it was pretty and a good size and portable. But it didn't have any recycling instructions on it. Assuming it's recyclable it gets a 10, otherwise it only gets a 4.

How tasty did you find Swisse Me smoothies on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best).

6- some of them I loved, some I hated. And as stated above the texture wasn't at all what I was expecting, it is very baby food like in some of them.

Would you consider buying Swisse Me smoothies in the future? If yes, why?

Would consider it if the price point was lower. I wouldn't pay more than £1 for a snack.

Would you recommend these smoothies to a friend? If yes, why?

Yes, they are a great healthy snack and a real boost. But I would say to be wary about some of the flavours.

What did you like or dislike about these smoothies?
I like that they’re really handy on the go .
What size smoothie would you prefer to consume as a healthy snack portion? A) 120g pouch or B) 150g pouch.
120 g pouch

They were really tasty 9 .
Would you consider buying Swisse Me smoothies in the future? If yes, why?
Yes definitely.
Would you recommend these smoothies to a friend? If yes, why?
Yes definitely they really nutritious and tasty and convenient.

I liked most of the flavours. A good on-the-go idea for a reasonably healthy snack. The pouches seemed robust. Some of the pouches contained ‘premium’ ingredients like collagen for added health benefits. The box didn’t give any indication as to whether the pouches could be recycled. I didn’t like the coffee flavour. As the mother of a weaning baby, I often felt like I was having the same snack as my baby! They did taste very similar to some of the baby food pouches such a Ella’s.

Would prefer 150gram pouch.

Convenience - 10
(However can these pouches be recycled?)

Flavours - 7

Would I buy in the future?
Maybe. It’s the type of thing I’d grab on my way to/from work to keep me going.
Not filling enough as a meal replacement. The pouches that did not contain any premium ingredients such as collagen/spirulina etc seem to me to be the same as baby food pouches (I currently have a 7 month old so I know!) Though the price point is higher.

What did you like or dislike about these smoothies?
I really liked the flavours on offer other than the coffee and cocoa options (really didn’t like the artificial taste of these) and also the convenience of the pouches.

What size smoothie would you prefer to consume as a healthy snack portion? A) 120g pouch or B) 150g pouch.
150g pouch as it also works as a breakfast or lunch

How convenient do you find the Swisse Me smoothie pouch format on a scale from 1-10 (10 being the best)?
10 - very convenient but not sure about the environmental impact or sustainability aspect

How tasty did you find Swisse Me smoothies on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best).
6 - some were lovely but others weren’t that nice in my opinion (the cocoa and coffee ones in particular but also the post-workout spirulina ones

Would you consider buying Swisse Me smoothies in the future? If yes, why?
Yes depending on price points. Lovely, convenient product that is easy for taking to work (when we do go back to work) or out with children

Would you recommend these smoothies to a friend? If yes, why?
Yes - nice and easy with flavours to suit everyone

What did you like or dislike about these smoothies?

I both loved and disliked the individual packaging. It was great for a quick easy breakfast and to hide from the toddler who always insists on sharing anything I eat but I am used the the 1 litre smoothie bottles so I sometimes wanted more and couldn't have it.

What size smoothie would you prefer to consume as a healthy snack portion? A) 120g pouch or B) 150g pouch.

For a snack a smaller pouch would be better.

How convenient do you find the Swisse Me smoothie pouch format on a scale from 1-10 (10 being the best)?

8 as stated above, great for on the go and a quick easy snack or meal to keep me going when I'm running around after my son. I found it an amazing breakfast alternative, especially the Quinoa pouch which kept me filled until lunch and tasted amazing.

How tasty did you find Swisse Me smoothies on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best).

The quinoa especially was 10/10 and I will look into buying again. The ginger contained too much ginger for me and the coffee tasted like coffee powder in a smoothie rather than diluted. But on the whole I really loved the flavours and mixes I didn't think would taste nice really did.

Would you consider buying Swisse Me smoothies in the future? If yes, why?

I loved how the the smoothies kept me full. Being around the same price as my regular smoothies I would definitely buy them again especially when we are out of lockdown and I need snacks or meals in my bag that I can have when I need a pick me up. Being at home it is sometimes easier to have a larger version but when we are allowed out it will definitely be more convenient.

Would you recommend these smoothies to a friend? If yes, why?
Yes, I definitely would recommend them if asked about what smoothies I have. I would only recommend certain flavours but obviously people have personal preferences so friends or family may like the flavours I didn't.

Testers, please give your feedback by answering the questions below as well as completing the survey we have emailed you:
What did you like or dislike about these smoothies?
Liked- The pouches feel very robust- no worries about them spilling. They were very filling and I couldn't finish a whole one in one go.
Disliked- too much disposable packaging. Some flavours and textures were truly horrendous and the collagen was a bit off putting.
Also too many were very strongly banana flavoured!

What size smoothie would you prefer to consume as a healthy snack portion? A) 120g pouch or B) 150g pouch.

Some were 8 and some were -8!

Would you consider buying Swisse Me smoothies in the future? If yes, why?
Maybe as something to grab in a hurry from the shops. Now I know what flavour I do like I'd just head straight for it on the supermarket shelf. I don't think I'd buy them to keep at home.

Would you recommend these smoothies to a friend? If yes, why?
No.

liked size of pack,found them too thick used to thinner smoothies,great for on the go .prefer 120 size.tasty but too thick,would recommend to friends taste i give a score of 8.would not buy in the future too expensive would recommend but friends would have to be well off to afford them thank you for letting me try them

What did you like or dislike about these smoothies?
Some of the flavours I wasn't keen on. I thought the coffee was too bitter. And basil in the pear smoothie too overpowering. But I loved the berry, mango and chia flavours so much.

Would you consider buying Swisse Me smoothies in the future? If yes, why? Yes I would definitely buy berry, mango or chia blends. I loved the chia texture as well, it was like jelly. Brilliant.

Would you recommend these smoothies to a friend? If yes, why? Yes but only the best flavours. Very easy for a quick snack or breakfast on the go. Highly recommend.

What did you like or dislike about these smoothies?
Wide range of flavours to suit most tastes, and I liked the different purposes (breakfast, energy boosts etc.) There were some really nice flavours, the ginger one being the standout for me, but unfortunately some tasted and had the same texture as 4 month+ baby food. I also disliked the fact in some pouches, the main ingredient was apple puree, which is a very cheap ingredient, and when you're paying £15 for 8, isn't worth it. The packaging was very attractive, and the convenience was very handy, and I like the fact the company is eco conscious - however you can only recycle the pouches through Terracycle which we don't have access to.

What size smoothie would you prefer to consume as a healthy snack portion? A) 120g pouch or B) 150g pouch.
For a healthy snack, A). But I really enjoyed the larger pouches for breakfast and like the fact there is two options.

9, easy to open and managed to get most of the product out with ease.

How tasty did you find Swisse Me smoothies on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best).
8 - A mixed bag. Some, like the ginger, beetroot, coffee and cocoa pouches were absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, some of them tasted baby food and I noticed the overwhelming ingredient and taste was apple.

• Spirulina Recharge Blend Smoothie - 3/10
• Spinach Energy Blend Smoothie - 4/10
• Pear Energy Blend Smoothie - 1/10
• Berry Energy Blend Smoothie - 9/10
• Mango Energy Blend Smoothie - 3/10

• Quinoa Breakfast Blend Smoothie - 5/10
• Chia Breakfast Blend Smoothie - 5/10
• Cocoa Breakfast Blend Smoothie - 9/10
• Coffee Date Breakfast Blend Smoothie - 9/10

Would you consider buying Swisse Me smoothies in the future? If yes, why?
Yes, the ginger ones were really delicious. But I wouldn't make them a regular purchase due to the price, especially the ones where the main ingredient was apple puree.

Would you recommend these smoothies to a friend? If yes, why?
There were a few flavours I would happily recommend to friends.

1- I liked the convenience of the pouches. Most flavours were very nice, some very surprising when you've read the contents. I really enjoyed the cocoa and coffee ones. Only think I disliked was the ones containing collagen, was only by chance I realised and made the connection they would likely not be suitable of vegetarians. My husband had these ones. I almost took it as a given that smoothies would be vegetarian.

2-B

3- 10, very convenient. Nice size and you reseal if needed.

4- Average would be about 7/10. Somewhere very very nice and even the ones that weren't my favourite were nice.

5- I would likely buy them. They are a little expensive but there dies seem to be various offs on the website at present.

6- I would recommend them to someone wanting a convenient health snack.

What did you like or dislike about these smoothies?
Unfortunately i didn't like the taste for most of these, some could of been nice but had maybe an ingredient that i didn't like that put it off. I appreciate though that the flavours were unique and different and probably does have a market but for someone like me i much prefer an average strawberry and banana smoothie than trying to add some spice and vegetable in there.I liked that they had collagen added in to them and thought they were a good size.

Id say a 5. Some were great such as the Berry and Ginger ones but others were really not for me.
Would you consider buying Swisse Me smoothies in the future? If yes, why?

No. £15 for 8 smoothies is just too much.

Would you recommend these smoothies to a friend? If yes, why?

Yes and no. Yes to those that would spend the money, no to everyone else.

I like that their is a variety of flavours and they can be perfect for taking out and about.

I dislike the taste and the look of the smoothies when poured into a cup.

No as the taste was not appealing

No as i know my friends wouldn't like these

What did you like or dislike about these smoothies?
I liked the oatie ones. The energy blends did nothing for me, but the breakfast blends were nice. Also, sucking on the little nozzle bruised my tongue, I didn't even know you could bruise your tongue.

What size smoothie would you prefer to consume as a healthy snack portion? A) 120g pouch or B) 150g pouch.
Neither, the breakfast blend needs to be bigger otherwise they are kinda pointless. For the others, 150 is good.

8 - but I would never use one outside house in case people thought I was eating baby food. Other people would love the little foil packs, I'm just weird.

7- I loved the coffee date, chia and quinoa breakfast blends, if they were a bigger size, I would have one for breakfast everyday.

Would you consider buying Swisse Me smoothies in the future? If yes, why?
Probably not, the energy ones did nothing for me, they just made my tongue hurt. If I had time for the gym, then yes, I would use them as a after workout snack, but until then, no.

Would you recommend these smoothies to a friend? If yes, why?
Yes, I know someone who would love them. Plus they could be used as a weight loss aid, when you want something sweet but low calorie, these would be perfect.

Almost forgot, either the spinach or spirulina (can't remember which) had way too much lemon in it.

What did you like or dislike about these smoothies?
I liked most of the flavours, they are easy to pop in a bag for on the go.
Wasn't a fan of the coffee ones.

9, most I enjoyed, I didn't like the coffee one and was a bit uncertain about the cocoa one.

Would you consider buying Swisse Me smoothies in the future? If yes, why?
Possibly depending on price and if I could choose just the flavours I wanted.

Would you recommend these smoothies to a friend? If yes, why?
Yes, for the convenience.

What did you like or dislike about these smoothies?

I liked the format that is very practical to take everywhere, I liked the design, very engaging and appealing,
I disliked the texture of some of the smoothies, especially the collagen ones, I couldn't finish them.

What size smoothie would you prefer to consume as a healthy snack portion? A) 120g pouch or B) 150g pouch.

A) 120gr was more than enough for me, wouldn't have been able to finish 150gr.

Would you consider buying Swisse Me smoothies in the future? If yes, why?

the ones with collagen and coffee I would rate 1, as I really disliked them,

the rest I would rate 8, as they were nice.

I am afraid however I do not believe I would buy them again.

Would you recommend these smoothies to a friend? If yes, why?

I may recommend them to my friends who have an extremely healthy lifestyle, but otherwise wouldn't as I don't believe my other friends would enjoy them, sorry.

What did you like or dislike about these smoothies?
Liked: The packaging was sturdy, so I would feel confident keeping them in my handbag. The boxes the smoothies came in were high-quality and nicely-designed. It felt like a luxury product.
Disliked: The packaging, whilst nice, led to a lot of waste. I struggled to rinse out the bottles after use, meaning that the packaging went to landfill.
The names of some of them (beetroot, spinach) were quite off-putting. I didn't like the idea of sweet beetroot.

4 - I really like smoothies generally, but i was disappointed with the taste of most of these. Several of them (Chia, Mango, and berry) were too sour.

Would you consider buying Swisse Me smoothies in the future? If yes, why?
Maybe, but only if I needed a smoothie on the go, like if I was hiking or something. I wouldn't buy them for everyday use.

Would you recommend these smoothies to a friend? If yes, why?
If they needed a small smoothie to carry easily, then yes. However, in most cases no as I didn't like the taste.

What did you like or dislike about these smoothies?

I liked the range of flavours and the fact that it felt easier to make healthy choices when these were in the fridge.

My favourite smoothies were the 'Start Me' range as I don't have a lot of time for breakfast in the mornings but these were very filling and quick to eat. I felt I could put one of these in my bag and have it at work at my desk.

What size smoothie would you prefer to consume as a healthy snack portion? A) 120g pouch or B) 150g pouch.

10. Very convenient. Easy to grab and go. I'd feel confident that I could put these in my work bag or in a picnic and the packaging would be sturdy enough to prevent leaking

1. There were a couple of flavours which weren't as nice as others (the cocoa one in particular which was a surprise to me) but there weren't any that I really disliked.

Would you consider buying Swisse Me smoothies in the future? If yes, why?

I would love to but the price would be a consideration. 8 of the Start Me smoothies are £14.99 and they'd only last a week, having one for breakfast each day. That's quite a big chunk out of my weekly food budget.

I'd like to be able to pick and mix smoothies as well. Looking on the website the packages are all pre-made combinations but I'd prefer to be able to select a combination of my favourite flavours.

Would you recommend these smoothies to a friend? If yes, why?

Yes I would. I have already recommended them to a couple of friends who have mentioned wanting to make healthier choices but are also time conscious

I really liked these and did find they were filling - can taste the flavours in each one and had some favourites along the way - I did like the breakfast varieties - I found the ones I didnt think I would like I enjoyed more. I dont know if I could spend £14.99 on a box though

What did you like or dislike about these smoothies?
I wasn't keen on any of them, to be honest. Sorry to disappoint! I wasn't impressed with the packaging - too much like baby food - and the textures were far too thick for a smoothie. Some of the flavour combinations were questionable, coffee and fruit was particularly bad! I also was concerned about giving the smoothies containing collagen and the reasons why this is sold as a beneficial additive; but I could do my own research to alleviate or confirm that concern if I were to consume it again in the future.

What size smoothie would you prefer to consume as a healthy snack portion? A) 120g pouch or B) 150g pouch.
The large pouches did seem a bit much, so I'd say 120g.

How convenient do you find the Swisse Me smoothie pouch format on a scale from 1-10 (10 being the best)?
If I were to use them, I could imagine they were very convenient. The screw tops were tight and leakproof, and I can see how they would be handy to use while on the run or a busy commute.

How tasty did you find Swisse Me smoothies on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best).
Sorry, but I'm going to have to say 2. Most of them were inedible - the coffee, chocolate and oat based ones in particular. The only ones we liked were the berry based smoothies, which my children liked too.

Would you consider buying Swisse Me smoothies in the future? If yes, why?
No, sorry. As I said previously, they were far too thick to be classed as a smoothie. I may be biased as I have a baby, but they were far too similar to baby food and pouches. I just couldn't take them seriously as a product for adults.

Would you recommend these smoothies to a friend? If yes, why?
No, for the reasons stated above. Far to many additives without reasoning as to why that additive was included, or the "benefits" of it.

Sorry mumsnet! Not my favourite product test but I would rather be honest.

What did you like or dislike about these smoothies?
I liked the range of flavours and the continence of not storing in the fridge. I did feel very wasteful putting the packaging in the bin, I would have preferred kerbside recycling. The labelling should have also stated the origin of the collagen. The only one I hated was the basil seed one - too seedy!

What size smoothie would you prefer to consume as a healthy snack portion? A) 120g pouch or B) 150g pouch.
120g as a snack. I tried the bigger one for breakfast and I was very hungry soon after.

Would you consider buying Swisse Me smoothies in the future? If yes, why?
I'm on the fence. They were delicious but the packaging puts me off. Also, the predominant ingredient was apple so the flavours mentioned on the front tended to quite small quantities which is a bit misleading,

Would you recommend these smoothies to a friend? If yes, why?
Yes for the gym bunnies!
