Late last year, TropiFruit introduced the very first vending machine designed to dispense fresh smoothies on demand. Healthier than soda and free from caffeine, the fruit smoothies are a refreshing beverage option for consumers of all ages.
TropiFruit's Smoothie Machine is described as "the world's first 'on-the-spot' fresh smoothie making vending machine." Instead of merely dispensing prepared smoothies, the machine blends real fruit puree to create freshly made fruit smoothies on demand. There are more than 20 different smoothie recipes to choose from and consumers can easily make their selection via the user-friendly touchscreen interface. After picking their smoothie of choice, customers will receive a freshly prepared drink in just over 40 seconds.
Ideal for schools, gyms, hospitals and a variety of other locations, the fresh smoothie machine offers a healthy an convenient alternative to traditional vending machines.
