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 ...

Whilst in Tesco recently I spotted this White Choc Raspberry Swirl Frijj on special offer, so couldn't resist giving it a try. It's not "new", but I've been curious about it for a while now. I was just biding my time until it was reduced in price ;) The label says "Now more indulgent", so I'm not sure what it tasted like before. It's also called "Supreme" and I'm not sure if all Frijj milkshakes carry this label now, or just the fancier flavours. Anyway it turned out to be a pleasant enough milkshake, with the typically thick, frothiness you expect from Frijj. However the white chocolate flavour wasn't very strong; all I could taste was the weak raspberry flavour. It made for a pleasant drink but didn't deliver the creamy white chocolate hit I was hoping for. Overall, as pleasant as this milkshake is it's not something I would pay full price for. If you're a fan of white chocolate I wouldn't bother with ...

Whilst browsing my local Sainsbury's recently there were so many cool new products that I just had to do a Spotted In Shops dedicated to them all. Enjoy! Ben & Jerry's Core All or Nut-ting: A new Ben & Jerry's Core variety! Contains a soft chocolatey hazelnut core surrounded by hazelnut and chocolate ice creams with chocolatey chunks. Currently on special offer. New Ben and Jerry's Greek Style Frozen Yogurt: Also new from Ben & Jerry's is this range of Greek Style Frozen Yogurts. The varieties include Strawberry Shortcake, Vanilla Honey Caramel and Raspberry Chocolatey Chunk. New Oreo Ice Cream Sandwich: Oreo in ice cream sandwich form...genius! I wonder how they compare to the Oreo Ice Cream Cones released last year. Almondy Philadelphia Layered Lemon Cheesecake: Almondy have introduced two new varieties to their Swedish cakes range, the first of which is this Philadelphia Almond Layered Lemon Cheesecake. It's made using a c...
