how to make an innocent smoothie

We've just made a new TV advert. If you haven't seen it yet, watch it here. It's a bit rubbish to have to explain it, but the subject is 'how to make an innocent smoothie'. We show some of the good stuff that we like to use and some of the bad stuff that we don't like much. Pretty simple. And to save us the cost of going to Barbados to shoot something glamorous on the beach, we raided some old photos and film clips. The music is by a Japanese person called Takuji Aoyagi. It features some very good handclapping and is called The Coo Coo Bird 1.

You're right - fruit contains natural sugars. What we're saying is that we don't ADD sugar to our smoothies. Hope that clears that point up.

Innocent has the best darn smoothies ever!!!

when it says "dont crush any of these" about the workers, I think thats slightly risqué. I dont particularly get it, or is it all just innocent?

That aside, the drink itself is pretty marvelous. Especially the new superfood ones which I first found in starbucks. At the moment of me sipping the beverage, I thoght, "Wow! This is the peak of human engineering.."

Innocent is 30% owned by Coca-Cola. Their excuse was that in order to become more global and wide-spread they need the help of Coca-Cola. Well Coca-Cola could certainly do with some help from Innocent if the stuff about Coca-Cola's dodgy practices in 3rd world countries is true ( taking good water away from local farmers for their bottling plants... assasinating trade unions... ). ANYWAY Innocent is the ONLY widely available brand of smoothie in UK not to use concentrates so thumbs up for that!

your smoothies are delicious! im actually drinking one right now! Very cool and funny design as well! Just superb

[Asadq]

Yeah + the fact that they're fruit is grown and imported across the world.

Innocent have got into bed with Mcdonalds public enemy number one - completely unethical. I'm sure they will give us some more slick advertising to try and convince us its not the case. What they care about is profit, don't believe the hippy bullshit marketing.

Well "duh" but isn't this the case with every recipe? Do you define eating to a restaurant worthy only when it contains chemical additives/preservatives etc?

I would have thought that the idea, is simply to get a product someone else has done the effort for already, (or if you want to be technical, convert someone of your own past effort, straight into it, which is what money represents)

Innocent Smoothies are great, but what I don't get is if they're all just fruit, how come they're sooo expensive? Isn't it just cheaper to buy the recipe book and make them at home?

>this was inoffensive, apart from the "don't crush any of these" workers bit, get over yourself Innocent corp.< Go away, innocent rock. Am now part of the family :)
