Juice It Up! is helping consumers stay cool and hydrated this summer with the launch of its new Sandía Loca Smoothie and Bowl.
Sandía Loca means "crazy watermelon" in Spanish and also describes a popular treat in Mexico where a hollowed-out watermelon is filled with fresh fruit and Tajín seasoning blend. This dish serves as inspiration for the new Sandía Loca Smoothie, which is made from a fresh blend of strawberries, watermelon juice, lime sherbet, and Tajín. Similarly, the new Sandía Loca Bowl takes the same smoothie base and tops it with a combo of banana, strawberries, pineapple, cucumber, coconut flakes, and Tajín. This particular combo of ingredients is a great option for consumers because it's rich in fiber, iron, potassium, Vitamin B, and magnesium.
