Planet Smoothie launches new VEGGIE LOVE smoothies

With hectic schedules in full swing, many busy Americans may struggle to eat the recommended 5-7 servings of vegetables a day. Planet Smoothie serves up a healthy solution with three new VEGGIE LOVE smoothies – jam-packed with veggies, yet so delicious, you can't taste the combination of kale, spinach, carrots or beet root. The VEGGIE LOVE line is the company's latest weapon in the "Smoothie Wars" – a surging $2 billion-a-year sector that grew more than 80 percent in the past 5 years.*

Planet Smoothie launches their VEGGIE LOVE smoothies: Just Beet It, 24 Carrot Mango-ld and Lean Green Extreme!

"VEGGIE LOVE smoothies are a solution for Americans who don't have the time or don't even like to eat the recommended amount of daily vegetables they need each day to stay healthy," says Donna Smith, VP of Marketing at Planet Smoothie. "We blend in sweet fruit to mask the earthy taste of greens, carrots and beet root so customers drink nutritious veggies without even tasting them! Plus, by blending, we keep the fibre that juicing strips away so customers stay fuller, longer."

"Smoothies are one of the largest and fastest growing beverage segments with sales expected to increase 25% in the next three years," says Smith. "With so many Americans on the go, we've added these veggies so smoothies are truly a healthy meal replacement filled with nutrients and antioxidants that many don't have time to include in meals they cook or eat at home. We're encouraging our customers to try the new VEGGIE LOVE line and to add carrots, beet root powder and leafy greens to any of our 35 plus flavours of smoothies."
