Concord Foods Launches a Refreshing New Smoothie Mix - Sunkist® Lemon Ice Smoothie

Concord Foods is introducing a new addition to its line of refreshing smoothies – SUNKIST® LEMON ICE SMOOTHIE MIX. This new smoothie mix provides consumers with a delicious, easy-to-make drink, which includes real fresh fruit and has 25 percent less sugar than other leading ready-to-drink smoothies.

SUNKIST® LEMON ICE SMOOTHIE is easy to make. Simply add the juice of two lemons, ice and water to the SUNKIST® LEMON ICE SMOOTHIE MIX, blend for one minute and you have a thirst-quenching smoothie that is also a good source of calcium and vitamin C.  

Concord Foods recently entered into a licensing agreement with Sunkist® to develop and market this exciting new drink. "Sunkist® is a name people trust," said Charles Olins, Vice President Sales and Marketing for Concord Foods, "and it is a name that is well known around the world. The combination of Concord Foods ‘smoothie-making know-how' and the famous Sunkist® quality has created a unique, fresh and healthy smoothie sure to be a sensation with consumers."

The SUNKIST® LEMON ICE SMOOTHIE MIX, in 2.0 oz foil pouches with eye-catching lemon graphics and an attractive yellow and blue color scheme, is packed in cases of 18 or floor display shippers of 144 units. The mix is now available in the produce section of supermarkets nationwide.

With the introduction of the Sunkist® Lemon Ice Smoothie Mix, Concord Foods continues to enhance its reputation as a supplier of innovative, fresh and value added items for the fresh produce sector.
