Daily Harvest has introduced a limited-edition product line called the Host Nation Lineup. This range of products features three smoothies inspired by the culinary traditions of the United States, Canada, and Mexico — Cherry Pie Protein, Blueberry Maple, and Mango Chile, respectively.
The Cherry Pie Protein smoothie offers 15 grams of plant-based protein with a rich cherry flavor reminiscent of American county fairs, while the Blueberry Maple version draws on the natural sweetness of maple syrup to evoke a quiet Canadian lakeside cottage. The Mango Chile smoothie, on the other hand, combines sweet and spicy notes inspired by Mexican fruit carts. This delivers a light and vibrant taste built for warm weather activities.
