Energy-Boosting Blended Beverages

This Pineapple Smoothie is a Source of Healthy Fats and Protein

— March 25, 2015 — Lifestyle
This pineapple smoothie is sure to give you a huge energy boost, making it a great breakfast option for on the go folks. From Refinery 29, The Sweetheart smoothie recipe also makes a great morning snack or post-workout refresher.

The pineapple smoothie not only contains the delicious tropical fruit, the non-dairy recipe also calls for ingredients such as coconut milk, extra virgin olive oil, ground flax seeds and hemp protein. This makes it perfect for people with dietary restrictions or who are lactose intolerant. The blended beverage provides a source of healthy fats from the flax while the hemp offers a vegan source of protein. The combination of coconut and pineapple also creates a fun, tropical, island-inspired flavor that is ideal to ring in warmer weather.
Trend Themes
1. Healthy Blended Beverages - Capitalizing on the growing demand for nutritious and convenient beverages, businesses can create innovative blended beverage options that provide energy and cater to specific dietary needs.
2. Non-dairy Alternatives - With the rise in lactose intolerance and plant-based diets, there is an opportunity for the dairy industry to explore and expand non-dairy product offerings such as coconut milk and hemp protein.
3. Functional Ingredients - By incorporating functional ingredients like ground flax seeds and hemp protein into blended beverages, companies can offer consumers added health benefits and tap into the functional foods market.
Industry Implications
1. Beverage Industry - The beverage industry can leverage the energy-boosting blended beverage trend and develop new products that cater to consumer demands for healthy, convenient and flavorful options.
2. Dairy Industry - The dairy industry can capitalize on the non-dairy trend and invest in alternative milk options like coconut milk to meet the growing demand for plant-based alternatives.
3. Health Food Industry - The health food industry can take advantage of the demand for functional ingredients and develop innovative products that combine taste, convenience, and health benefits to cater to health-conscious consumers.
