Ribena Blackcurrant Squash 1.5L
Great tasting blackcurrant goodness
Ribena blackcurrant must be one of those drinks that everyone remembers from when they were kids. In these days of the sugar tax and focus on reducing sugar intake in kids, it does have to be said that Ribena does not taste quite as good as it did when I was younger, although it has done a better job than most in terms of trying to find the right balance between adding sweeteners whilst trying to stay as close to the original taste as possible. The taste isn't quite the same though, so it now gets a 4 from me compared to the 5 I would give the original full sugar Ribena of years ago. It remains the best blackcurrant drink you'll find on the squash shelf.

Cadbury Crunchie Chocolate Bar 4 Pack Multipack 128g
Sweet treat that tastes as good as ever
I was never a fan of Crunchie when I was a kid. Bizzarely I found them too sweet and headed for other bars with more chocolate. My palate has clearly changed since, as I can handle the sweet honeycomb filling now. I'd still prefer a bit more chocolate on them, but I still enjoy stripping off the chocolate layer with my teeth before munching the filling. A sweet treat (in moderation!)

Alpro Soya High Protein Chocolate Long Life Drink 1L
Chocolate protein milk alternative
What's not to like! Chocolate flavour was not artificial tasting like some flavoured milk or milk alternatives. The protein boost is a good selling point (although not particularly useful for me). Was fine using it in my breakfast cereal as an alternative to my usual brand, as I was able to try this as part of a promotion.

Volvic Touch of Fruit Sugar Free Summer Fruits Natural Flavoured Water 1.5L
The taste of summer, but without the sugar
I quite liked watermelon as well, but summer fruits is my go-to flavoured water option, and the Volvic sugar free does well on flavour even without the sugar. Good value when on one of the regular offers too, so good for the pocket. I tried this as part of a promotion.

Actimel 0% Fat Original Yogurt Drinks 12 x 100g
Convenient tasty yogurt drink
Actimel claims to to have digestion benefits due to the cultured nature of the milk drink. Frankly I'm interested in the taste and vitamin benefits, and it scores on both these factors, tasting sweet whilst containing vitamins D and B6. So I'd happily recommend on that basis. Enjoyed for free as part of a promotion.
