PAI Partners’ chilled juice brand Tropicana is expanding its offering with the launch of Tropicana Kids Smoothies, available in two flavour varieties. Made with 100% real fruit and containing vitamin C, each 150ml serving counts as one of a child’s five-a-day. The range, which comes in Pineapple & Mango and Strawberry & Banana flavours, has been designed for convenience and on-the-go snacking, providing a spill-free option. Liz Ashdown, marketing director UK&I at Tropicana Brands Group, said: “Tropicana is the UK’s Number one juice brand and combines over 75 years of fruit expertise. Launching a new kids smoothie as part of our expanding range is an exciting step for Tropicana, allowing us to cater to new shopper trends and offer a convenient and healthy solution for families.” She continued: “Shopping for your family can be a difficult task for parents and guardians, who are looking for ways to make meals and snack times more healthy and convenient, so stocking a smoothie that is just for kids by a brand that people of all ages already know and love, is a simple way for retailers to help make their lives that much easier.” The new smoothies are available to purchase now in major UK retailers.
