The vegan smoothie snack bowls are available in varieties like Almond + Triple Berry Acai, Almond + Mango Pineapple Passion Fruit and Almond + Chocolate Banana, each of which can be found in the freezer section of a store. The pre-made smoothie bowls are layered with smoothies made from fruit and almond milk, and topped with [almond butter and granola](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kind-protein-max-granola). As the bowls are made to be stored for freshness in the freezer, they can be thawed and eaten at room temperature or enjoyed chilled for a cold and refreshing treat that reminds of a frozen dessert. While KIND Snacks is best known for its bars, the brand also makes other freshness-focused frozen products.
