These new F’real smoothies have been introduced by the frozen beverage brand to offer consumers a healthier option to pick up when craving a refreshing, satisfying drink. The smoothies will join the brands existing lineup of ice cream-based milkshakes and come in two flavor varieties including Mango & Passionfruit and Strawberry & Banana. Each one of the products can be mixed up fresh by patrons in-store and are made with real fruit to make them a healthy option.
