Products are packaged in three distinct formats:
The company’s ready-to-drink smoothie, ‘Twist & Go’, has initially been focused towards the USDA national school meal program, including the School Breakfast Program, the National School Lunch Program, and Smart Snacks in Schools Program. This sweet fruit and creamy yogurt smoothie contains four ounces of yogurt and a half-cup of fruit/fruit juice and comes in three different flavors: strawberry banana, peach, and mango pineapple. The Company introduced Twist & Go cartons in 2022. Twist & Go contains no added sugars, preservatives, artificial flavors, or colors.
The company’s bulk ‘Easy Pour’ format, which contains all the ingredients necessary to make the beverage, is packaged in gallon containers in a concentrated formula that is mixed in beverage dispensing equipment 1:1 with water. The company has a ‘no sugar added’ version of the bulk ‘Easy Pour’ format that is specifically targeted for the aforementioned USDA national school meal programs. In addition, the company received approval from the United States Defense Logistics Agency (‘DLA’) to sell its smoothie products into all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces and is currently in contract with and selling its bulk Easy Pour products into over one hundred military bases in the United States and abroad. Additionally, the company offers WHIRLZ 100% Juice concentrate, which is sold at ambient temperatures and mixed in beverage dispensing equipment on a 5:1 ratio.
The company’s single-serve format features portion controlled and ready-to-blend beverage ingredient packs or ‘beverage packs’. The beverage packs contain all the ingredients necessary to make the beverage, including the base (either sorbet, frozen yogurt, or ice cream), real fruit pieces, juices, and ice – five ounces of water are added before blending.
