Innocent Strawberries & Bananas Smoothie

A clean, additive-free fruit blend, but the sugar is concentrated: 250ml delivers around 26g, most of it counted as 'free sugars' because the fruit is blended or juiced.

250ml bottle (approx. 130 kcal)
Sugar
approx. 26g per 250ml (about 29% of the 90g total sugar reference intake; about 85% of the UK 30g free-sugar guideline)
Sat. Fat
approx. 0.1g per 250ml (under 1% of daily value)
Sugar is entirely from fruit, but blending and juicing turns much of it into 'free sugars', which health guidelines advise limiting.
One 250ml bottle can supply roughly 85% of the UK 30g free-sugar limit, so it is best treated as an occasional drink rather than a free-flowing beverage.
The UK counts a smoothie as at most one of your 5-a-day, no matter how much fruit it contains.
Fibre is lower than in an equivalent amount of whole fruit.
Exact recipe and nutrition vary by flavour and country, so check the label on your bottle.
Full Analysis

Ingredients (4)

Apple juice (from concentrate or not-from-concentrate, depending on market)

aka Apple juice

Juice has had most of its fibre removed, so its sugars count as free sugars and can raise blood glucose faster than whole fruit. It has no additives, but it adds sugar load with little fibre.

Daily Intake — Likely the largest contributor to the roughly 26g of sugar per 250ml, about 85% of the UK 30g daily free-sugar limit
MODERATE

Banana purée

aka Mashed banana

Whole-fruit purée keeps most of its fibre, potassium, and vitamin B6. It also gives the smoothie its creamy texture without added thickeners.

Daily Intake — Provides natural sugars and potassium. No specific warning at normal serving sizes
SAFE

Strawberry purée

aka Crushed strawberries

Strawberries supply vitamin C, polyphenols, and some fibre. As a purée, much of the fruit's structure and nutrients are retained.

Daily Intake — Low in sugar relative to other fruits. No intake concern
SAFE

Orange juice

It supplies vitamin C and flavonoids but, like all juice, counts as free sugar. It is fine in moderation, but it adds up with the other juices.

Daily Intake — Adds to the free-sugar total. Combined with apple juice, one bottle can approach the daily free-sugar limit
MODERATE

Healthier alternatives

Whole fruit (banana and a handful of strawberries)

Keeps all the fibre, slows sugar absorption, and is more filling for the same sugar.

Fun Fact

Innocent started in 1999 when its three founders sold smoothies at a London music festival and asked customers to vote with their empties: a bin marked 'YES' or 'NO' to 'Should we quit our jobs to make these smoothies?' The 'YES' bin was full, and they resigned the next day.
