YUMI Smoothies-to-Go, a line of shelf-stable smoothies made from whole fruits and vegetables, free from artificial preservatives and added sugar, and blended to deliver specific functional benefits. Thanks to a proprietary preservation process that minimizes heat exposure, YUMI's smoothies preserve more vitamins, color, and flavor than traditional high-heat methods, and deliver "convenient food that actually looks and tastes like the real ingredients it's made from," describes Angela Sutherland, co-founder and co-CEO of YUMI.
These functional smoothies for the whole family are ready to be grabbed in varieties like Apple, Banana & Dragonfruit with Protein; Cinnamon Apple & Sweet Potato with Probiotics, and Mixed Berry with Vitamin C + D.
YUMI Smoothies-to-Go just launched at Whole Foods Market locations nationwide, marking the company's largest retail expansion since its Target debut three years ago.
