    Well, what is your favourite smoothie(That you buy, not make.)?
    I wish for some suggestions.
    Also, how much do they cost, as these things can get expensive.

    At the moment my favourite is the passionfruit, pineapple and peach one by Squeez.
    I don't like any of those three fruits but the smoothie is lovely.
    E2.89 in the local shop, a litre. It's nicer than ones twice the price I find.

    Jungle Rumble in Zumo.

    i think it's banana, oranage juice, mango and honey.

    it costs €3.85 which is a bit steep so i don't buy it everyday.

    Only started drinking smoothies recently. Innocent are ridiculously expensive but are really nice. I need to try more though.

    Love the Zumo Power Punch with pineapple. Otherwise M&S do good ones and I usually get the berry one from Aldi.

    Tried the Monkey Business yesterday, lovely. With less peanut butter it would be amazing.
    I must try some more from on here, Jungle Rumble sounds good.

    Personally, the Innocent ones, in particular the Blueberry & Blackberry one. Innocent are €4.69 a litre in Tesco which I don't think is extortionately expensive (unfortunately Tesco don't stock the Blueberry & Blackberry one however.) Tesco used to have a very nice and (relatively) inexpensive Summer Fruit smoothie at something like €3.30 but they recently changed the recipie and now it's gack. I think they massively upped the apple juice content and moved to concentrate or something. Worst smoothies I have ever tasted would be the P&J ones, don't understand how they survive. "Innocent for kids" are also cráp, maybe this is the demographic P&J is after.

    M&S are good but expensive. Dunnes are cheap and OK. Must try Aldi as I am often very impressed with the quality you get there.

    No other smoothies stand up to the Jump Juice Bar smoothies. http://www.jumpjuicebar.com/about.html My fav is the Raspberry Rush. Yummy raspberry goodness and no eucky banana. It annoys me that the majority of smoothies nearly always contain banana.

    Unfortunately they only have one place up here and that's all the way out in Maynooth. Boooo hisss The sooner they move into the city centre in Dublin the better for everyone. :)
