innocent UK Commercial Director Giles Brook said: “This is the first time we have taken our brand into a new category and aisle and we can’t wait to bring the innocent values of 100% natural, 100% good for you to this area of the store.

“The new innocent thickie range will broaden the appeal of current dairy drinks by offering consumers health and well-being, indulgence and convenience, without compromising on taste.”

The three drinks include: yogurt, oats, raspberries and blueberries; yogurt, mangoes, peaches and passion fruit; yogurt, vanilla bean and honey.
