August 2011/Prepared Foods -- At the recent IFT Show in New Orleans, one supplier introduced research which found a significant portion of consumers regularly enjoy smoothies; per the company’s survey, nearly 80% of adult women and more than 50% of adult men involved in the survey sometimes consume the frozen treats with a healthy halo.
The trend may have begun in foodservice, but it is firmly moving into grocery aisles, as Inventure Foods is adding to its licensed line of Jamba All Natural Smoothie Kits. Caribbean Passion blends mango, strawberry and peach, non-fat yogurt and Jamba’s antioxidant Vitamin C boost.pf
