Appy Kids drinks mission is to be the number one healthy drink for families and help them make healthier choices every day. With a range of low calorie fruit drinks in handy pouches with straws, adorned with kids favourite characters we were keen to try them out. 
When a child sees packaging in their favourite character they are always attracted to it, but at the end of the day it depends whether they like the taste or not. For me these drinks from Appy Kids look great, are well suited to on the go, out and about and travelling, are healthy but how did they fair in the taste test.
Each drink is low calorie, has added vitamins and vegetarian society approved. I love the pouch style too as even when it’s empty it’s flat so if you can’t find a bin it’s simple to carry around. The verdict though lies with the children as if they won’t drink it there’s no point buying it. Miss M absolutely loved the Appy Kids Dora pouches which were Summer Fruits flavour and by far her favourite, Mister B liked the Paw Patrol Orange flavour or the Turtles Multi Fruit which shows there is a flavour for everyone.
Overall we were really pleased with the Appy Kids range of drinks, they suited our needs, taste buds and at the end of the day I’m happy because I know that I’m giving my kids a healthy, low sugar, low calorie fruity drink that will cure their thirst without any added nasties in it. Definitely worth checking out, for us personally these are the ideal out and about option for drinks, great on a family day out or after swimming lessons, worth keeping one in your bag at all times!
All reviews are my own and my family’s opinions and we received the product in order to write an honest review.
Look out in the supermarkets as currently a double pack of Flora comes with a free lunchbox. My children love these lunch boxes as they look fun and there is a also a little space for their name on it. Pack lunches and picnics are something my children have always been fond of and love the idea of their food packaged up and having a selection of little things to eat. But ultimately they do get bored if it gets too repetitive so we try to change up the contents regularly to keep them interested and keen to eat.
For snacks, we always include a vegetable such as cherry tomatoes, or carrot sticks with a little pot of houmous or a bunch of colourful pepper sticks.
The store is huge compared to a standard Holland & Barrett shop that I’ve visited and very bright and inviting. Being right on the doorstep of our shopping centre 
Beauty Kitchen are a range that focus on providing 100% natural and effective skin care and body care products that smell amazing. They have an interactive stand where you can make your own body scrub adding ingredients of your choice. They also have lip balm kits which would make great gifts as well as an array of bath bombs and other exciting products. The Zoya stand stood out, a vegan range of nail polish in so many gorgeous looking colours, I could wear them all. The beauty section here has really impressed me and definitely somewhere I’ll come back to.
If you thought that sounded good then wait until you witness the fresh food offerings the store has to offer. I wasn’t expecting this lot when I walked in but there is an enormous fresh olive stand where you can pick up a pot and fill with your favourites. Then there is the nut and seed pick and mix counter which looks truly divine. These are perfect for a snack during the day or in the evening with a glass of wine. Then there is the Tea Bar, a utterly unique feature that allows you to lift a small glass cloche and sniff the flavoured tea that’s gently wafting inside the lid. There is a vast range of teas to smell before you buy, with some amazing flavours to try out, such as chocolate orange. There is also a salad dressing station where you can fill your own dressings and oils from tapped dispensers, again a unique and interesting feature. 
Personally I prefer the vegetable combinations of these, although my friend loves the Pineapple and Grape variety. They are not the most filling of snacks but if you are healthy eating then these are a great addition to give keep you going through the day, whilst also giving you some of your daily nutrients.
Well I think you can tell by Miss M’s face that these are a hit! She ate the whole bar and said she liked it. Her favourite is in fact the Strawberry flavour whilst 5 yr old Mister B wasn’t really fussed and happy to eat any of them. With all the benefits these have over junk food, they will always be more expensive than regular cereal type bars but if your child is getting one of their five a day, then that is worth it for me.
I was lucky to get to try out an Almond & Raisin Raw Choco Brownie, well you give something like that to a chocoholic and it’s pretty much a given that I’ll like it! It did taste good, but you could tell it was healthy, it was moist though and a good chunk of energy, would be great for an afternoon snack at work!
