Frijj Loaded Choc Orange Milkshake

Frijj loaded Choc orange milkshake

It's been a while since I tried a new Frijj variety, since I had the White Choc Raspberry Swirl last year in fact, so I was quite pleased to see this new Loaded "Choc Orange" flavour in Tesco recently. There's also a new Mango & Passionfruit flavour, but it didn't appeal to me since fruit and milk usually don't go well together!

This cost £1.30 (although it's now reduced to 60p on special offer) and like all Frijj milkshakes has a rather thick consistency. It's described as a low fat milkshake, with 70 calories per 100ml and is suitable for vegetarians. I poured some into a glass and got a nice waft of chocolatey orange aroma...it smelled lovely.

Sadly it didn't taste as good as it smelled. The chocolate orange flavour was rather weak, from both the chocolate and the orange flavours. This surprised me a bit, I can't see how you can get an artificial flavour like this wrong. It was pleasant enough, don't get me wrong, but I expect a lot better from Frijj. There was certainly nothing "Loaded" about it.

Overall, a nice idea in theory but this was disappointing in reality. If you're looking for chocolate orange in milkshake form...just make your own!

6.5 out of 10.

      They're becoming such a sloppy brand. The only good flavour I remember from them is white chocolate, from 10 years ago! xx

      They're cheap and nasty like everything else.. Oo positivity haha! I don't think I ever had that one but I did like the plain chocolate. Saying that I was always drawn more towards supermarket brand flavoured milk - You just couldn't beat it! xx

Pringles Salted Egg Review

Another weird snack and this time it’s Salted Egg Flavour Pringles! These are apparently popular in other parts of the word so maybe not as weird as they may seem to us Brits... and they’re actually not so bad! Not as eggy as I expected - I had visions of an awful gaseous pong coming from the tub, haha! - but just a slight salty egg flavour.   If you’re curious, find them from www.gbgifts.co.uk (gifted).

Asda Tinned Banana Blossom Review

-

Recently, I spotted a totally new vegetable/fruit (not sure which it actually is!) in Asda called Banana Blossom in a tin. It was next to the tins of Jackfruit which is a well known vegan meat alternative. I assumed it was a similar thing so happily bought some to try - it’s £1.50 a tin. The image on the wrapper looked innocent enough - battered fish pieces, only vegan! Surely this stuff must be good? Turns out that packaging was very misleading because nothing could prepare me for the horror that was lurking inside...when I opened the tin it was like opening something from a horror film, discovering the mouldy body of an ancient alien creature or other such evil. It looked hideous!! “Surely this is not meant for human consumption?!”, I thought. Heck it’s not even suitable for bird consumption....I think flies would even turn their nose up at this thing, which looked like rotten infested seaweed. When I posted this on my  Instagram  page the responses were predictably

Lidl Way To Go Fin Carre Ethical Chocolate

I recently spotted some new funky looking bars in Lidl, and instantly they reminded me of Tony’s Chocolonely bars, the ethical brand that launched last year donating money to helping end slavery in cocoa production. I’ve always loved the Tony’s brand and I think in 2020, more than ever, we need more ethically produced products - it should be expected, let’s be honest! So it’s always nice to see another brand like this even if it’s essentially copying Tony’s. I got the dark chocolate version to try as I was curious how it would be compared to other dark chocolates. In hindsight this was a mistake, as the actual chocolate is nothing extraordinary. It’s nice enough and good quality don’t get me wrong but it has no particular distinct flavour to make me buy it again. I’ll certainly try the other two flavours which are Milk Chocolate and Almond and Sea Salt, and I do like the chunky haphazard block design that mimics Tony’s Chocolonely. It’s a shame through that Lidl don’t just stock
