f’real is expanding functional frozen beverages with Protein Smoothies that combine its blend-it-yourself format with 20 grams of milk protein isolate. Launching nationwide in early 2027, Tropical Mango and Peanut Butter Banana with Reese’s Peanut Butter are made with real fruit, contain fewer than 250 calories, and have no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners. The drinks are positioned for occasions ranging from on-the-go breakfasts to post-workout refreshment, while f’real’s self-serve system provides a freshly blended texture.

The launch allows f’real to participate in growing demand for protein-focused foods while maintaining the interactive format that distinguishes its beverages. For convenience stores and foodservice operators, the accompanying B8 Blender adds cup recognition, a larger touchscreen, and simplified maintenance. Together, the products and equipment can create new purchase occasions, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen f’real’s presence in functional beverages.
