What did you like or dislike about these smoothies?

I liked the variety of flavours, and ingredients which I would not normally use for my current smoothies, Quinoa and chia are great - and putting coffee in a breakfast smoothie was a revelation. I disliked the texture to begin with, but had the first one at room temperature, the others were chilled and much better.

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

I thing A) 120g pouch would be perfect.

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

The pouch format is a 8 out of 10 - the reason being how do we recycle - is this possible with these pouches ?

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

Yes, for the convenience and variety of flavours, which appeal to different times of the day, the morning ones are lovely and I have tried to re-create these with my nutribullet.

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

For my smoothie loving friends, yes, the reason being, they are convenient, healthy, easily digestible, and are a taste sensation when we are used to the banana based smoothies which can become boring.

thanks for selecting me as a tester.

What did you like or dislike about these smoothies?
I liked the packaging and that there was a variety of flavours and pouch size.
I disliked the taste of the pouches contaning yoghurt and how they reminded me of baby food fruit pouches!

What size smoothie would you prefer to consume as a healthy snack portion?
B) 150g pouch as it would be more substantial and filling.

How convenient do you find the Swisse Me smoothie pouch format on a scale from 1-10 (10 being the best)?
9- they are very convenient for people on the go!

How tasty did you find Swisse Me smoothies on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best).
It depended on the pouch ...some were a 4 (the chia and yoghurt ones) but the ginger and beetroot, spirulina and pear ones were a 7
.
Would you consider buying Swisse Me smoothies in the future? If yes, why?
I would maybe consider buying them for when I am out and about, in a rush or need a convenient snack to pop in my bag to quell hunger pangs at work, etc.

Would you recommend these smoothies to a friend? If yes, why?
I would recommend some of them to friends who have a busy life style and would benefit from a convenient nutritional boost, as these smoothies would tick all the boxes.

What did you like or dislike about these smoothies?
I liked the branding a lot. I thought it was really premium, considered and eye-catching. The concept is great - the fact I could pop the lid back on was handy; as was the size for your bag! So they are perfect for on-the-go.

Hmm, sadly, I really struggled with the texture of these smoothies. We're currently weaning our daughter and I would find it difficult to differentiate between her ready-made puree's and these smoothies. Though, some of the flavours were pretty unappealing and I definitely wouldn't give to my children.

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

A) 120g.

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

A level 7. Some I would have to give a 2/3 and others were more appealing.

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

I just couldn't cope with the texture I'm afraid. I love everything else about the brand, ethos and concept. Just my personal tastes, I guess!

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

I probably would. My personal taste isn't the same as someone elses' so I would imagine other people will love these. Like I say, I loved the branding and convenience, so would recommend.

What did you like or dislike about these smoothies? I like smoothies that were more fruit based and didn’t have seeds or something in as I disliked the texture. I like the ease of use

How tasty did you find Swisse Me smoothies on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best).
I liked some of them but others not so much.

Would you consider buying Swisse Me smoothies in the future? If yes, why?
Maybe but I did find the texture a bit strange. I actually watered them down to a thinner consistency which made them better as they seem way too thick.

Would you recommend these smoothies to a friend? If yes, why?
Yes but would also tell them to water them down.
