Food and drink distributor Aimia Foods has announced a new range of Shmoo milkshake powders that were specially designed for vending machines.

Available in four flavours – vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and banana – Shmoo vending powders features a formula that transforms into a shake when processed through a cold (or chilled) vending machine. Karen Green, marketing manager at Aimia Foods, said: “When mixed through a cold/chilled vending machine, Shmoo vending powders share the same creamy texture that blended Shmoo shakes are renowned for, with just the addition of water therefore the vending machine virtually takes care of the entire Shmoo shake making process automatically – and the customer can enjoy their favourite Shmoo shake simply by pressing the button/screen of the machine”.
