New Limited-Time Menu Highlights Functional Smoothies and Brazilian-Inspired Açaí Creation
Irvine, CA (RestaurantNews.com) Juice It Up!, one of the nation’s leading handcrafted smoothie, raw juice, açaí and superfruit bowl chains for over 30 years, is expanding its smoothie lineup with three protein-packed smoothies made with Chobani® Greek Yogurt, alongside the introduction of a creatine add-in to support muscle strength and recovery. Available April 1 through June 15 at all Juice It Up! locations nationwide, the new smoothies are creamy, protein-packed additions to the chain’s menu of handcrafted beverages. The brand also is introducing the Paçoca Açaí Bowl to commemorate 25 years of açaí at Juice It Up! The Brazilian-inspired limited-time offering will be available through April 30.
“Protein has been one of the most popular functional benefits our guests look for when choosing beverages, and our new smoothies give us yet another opportunity to expand our menu and evolve our better-for-you beverage platform in ways that support active lifestyles,” said Susan Taylor, President and CEO of Juice It Up! “Chobani Greek Yogurt helps to enhance the creamy texture guests love in their Juice It Up! smoothies, and this new lineup allows us to deliver once again on our brand promise with delicious flavor and functionality in the form of meaningful protein content.”
Juice It Up!’s new smoothies are customizable and deliver up to 27 grams of protein in a medium size with whey protein while providing an excellent source of vitamin C. For guests seeking flavor and function, the smoothies are a satisfying option for fueling busy days, post-workout recovery or on-the-go nutrition.
The new Chobani® Greek Yogurt smoothies include:
- Berry Protein Smoothie: A vibrant blend of sweet raspberries and blueberries swirled with creamy Chobani® Greek Yogurt, an apple juice blend and protein powder, delivering a refreshing berry-forward smoothie with a satisfying protein boost.
- Strawberry Banana Protein Smoothie: A timeless favorite featuring ripe strawberries and creamy banana blended with Chobani® Greek Yogurt, an apple-strawberry juice base and protein powder for a smooth, creamy and perfectly balanced classic.
- Pineapple Mango Protein Smoothie: A tropical-inspired smoothie combining bright pineapple and juicy mango with Chobani® Greek Yogurt and a pineapple-apple-mango juice blend for a refreshing, sunshine-filled flavor with added protein power.
Juice It Up! also is adding Orgain® Creatine as a new smoothie boost to further support active lifestyles and give guests another way to customize their smoothies with functional benefits like muscle support.
The brand’s longstanding and deeply identifiable connection to açaí will be celebrated with the release of the limited-time Paçoca Açaí Bowl, available exclusively in April. The bowl features layered coconut and SAMBAZON® açaí bases topped with Hemp Plus Granola, fresh banana slices, coconut flakes and paçoca, a sweet Brazilian peanut crumble. From April 1 through 6, the Paçoca Açaí Bowl will be priced at $8.99 to recognize National Açaí Bowl Day.
“Literally and figuratively, Açaí has been blended into the Juice It Up! brand story for 25 years, and it continues to play a central role in how we innovate across our superfruit bowl platform,” Taylor added. “The Paçoca Açaí Bowl celebrates the ingredient’s Brazilian roots while introducing guests to a beloved flavor combination that’s perfectly aligned with our commitment to bringing globally inspired superfruit experiences to our menu.”
