Danone North America's Two Good has added three new on-the-go smoothies to its portfolio. The Two Good smoothies have 3g of sugar per 7 fluid-ounce bottle and 10g of protein. To achieve lower sugar, the brand uses ultra-filtered milk that removes most of the naturally occurring sugars from milk. It also utilizes live cultures for fermentation. Available in three flavours, Mixed Berry, Strawberry Banana, and Peach, the smoothies have 0g of added sugar with no artificial sweeteners, and 5g of carbs and are non-GMO Project Verified. Surbhi Martin, VP of marketing, greek yogurt and functional wellness at Danone North America said: "As more consumers look for products in the yogurt drinks segment to meet their on-the-go lifestyle and lower sugar needs, we saw an opportunity to launch a new product to deliver on those growing needs". Martin continued: "Since our launch as a brand, we've been proud to offer delicious products with significantly lower sugar, and we're excited to expand our portfolio and introduce our latest innovation, Two Good Smoothies, which offer consumers a portable and delicious cultured dairy drink with only 3g of sugar compared to the category average of 19g." Two Good Smoothies are available now in the yogurt aisle of select US grocery stores and retailers for a suggested retail price of $1.89 per 7 fluid-ounce bottle.
