Nestlé-owned frozen snack brand Outshine has announced the launch of Fruit & Yogurt Smoothie pouches, aimed at both children and adults. Made with real fruit with non-fat yogurt, Outshine Fruit & Yogurt Smoothies is available in four flavours: blueberry pear, peach raspberry, strawberry coconut and pear vanilla. Each smoothie, which is the company's first shelf-stable product, contains less than 10g of sugar and no added sugar, no artificial flavours and colours, and no GMO ingredients. Doug Munk, senior director of new business ventures at Nestlé, said: “We know convenience is critical for busy families – seven out of 10 parents are more likely to grab a shelf-stable snack over one they have to keep cold, make at home, cut or heat up. But finding nutritious, on-the-go options that appeal to the whole family can be challenging." He continued: "Outshine Fruit & Yogurt Smoothies are a modern solution, and we’re bringing everything that our fans love about our fruit bars to this new product, with flavours that appeal to both kids and adults, in a convenient grab-and-go pouch with real fruit ingredients, zero grams of added sugars, and no artificial flavours or colours.”

Outshine Fruit & Yogurt Smoothie Pouches is available at major retail stores, including Food Lion, Kroger, Ralphs and select Safeway Albertsons in the Pacific Northwest, for an SRP of $4.49.
