[Daily Harvest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-highprotein-smoothies) has introduced a limited-edition product line called the Host Nation Lineup. This range of products features [three smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loco-beach-coconuts) 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.

Daily Harvest's Host Nation Lineup is tied to the hype of the [FIFA World Cup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fifa-world-cup-flavors).
