Trader Joe's new Cucumber Avocado Smoothie is a 12-ounce bottle of bright green goodness. The new smoothie consists of a refreshing blend of half of an avocado, one cucumber, half of a small mango, a whole cup of spinach, four acerola cherries, three slices of ginger root, and the juice of one lime. But instead of pasteurizing these ingredients, Trader Joe's puts the blend through a cold, water-pressure method called High Pressure Processing (HPP). This ensures the smoothie is "safe to drink, without reducing its nutritional benefits or fresh, cucumber-forward flavor." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Healthy Smoothies:** Opportunity for developing more healthy smoothies using the high pressure processing method. - **Green Beverages:** Expanding the market for green beverages that use unconventional ingredients such as avocado and cucumber. - **Natural Preservation Techniques:** Growing demand for natural preservation techniques such as HPP that can preserve nutrients while keeping the product safe for consumption. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can develop new products that use unconventional, healthy ingredients and natural preservation techniques like HPP. - **Health and Wellness:** The health and wellness industry can promote the health benefits of consuming natural, nutrient-packed beverages like Trader Joe's Cucumber Avocado Smoothie. - **Packaging and Processing:** Opportunities for companies in the packaging and processing industry to develop innovative natural preservation solutions like HPP to meet the growing demand for healthy and fresh products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Organic Green Juice Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-cold-pressed-green-juice-beverage.md) - [Chocolate Almond Protein Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-almond-protein-smoothie.md) - [Single-Origin Coconut Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-coconut-smoothie.md) - [Pre-Mashed Avocado Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avocado-mash.md) - [Refreshing Bottled Green Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-tea-unsweetened-beverage.md) - [Orange Peach Mango Juices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orange-peach-mango-juice.md) - [Coconut-Based Green Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-glowup.md) - [Functional Smoothie Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clean-green-smoothie.md) - [Veggie-Rich Matcha Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-go-getter-by-jamba.md)
