What is a Smoothie ?
by RonnieB
Smoothies made their debut
in Europe in the mid 1990's. Initially Smoothies were a blend of fruit that was intended to
be sold as a beverage that could compete in the same category as coffees and
sodas. Today smoothies have morphed into a frozen blended treat that has a
caloric composition that resembles a MRP (meal replacement) beverage.
They can be made with a variety of fruit combinations including fruit juices, whole
fresh fruit, frozen fruit, etc. They can also include frozen dairy
products, sherbet, or crushed ice.
In a short period of time it became natural to add health supplements to your smoothie hence the term "Add-Ins". People began adding protein, ginseng and a whole host of nutraceuticals to their smoothies. This obviously became an easy fit for the health club industry, already replete with many different RTD's, bars and powders - all of which generating low margins - smoothies are easily becoming a dominant staple in many health clubs as they strive for better ways to increase their "RPW" and improve the bottom line.
Now that you understand what a smoothie is, the next step would be to put some smoothie recipes together. That's where the Nutri Blendz Smoothie Solutions comes into play. Nutri Blendz has created programs that take the best smoothies, shakes, and blendz and roll them into a complete package we call a Smoothie Solution. Commonly referred to as turnkey, or smoothie systems, the Smoothie Solutions we offer make adding smoothie sales to your current health club counter "a walk in the park"!
The Nutri Blendz
Smoothie Solutions takes care of everything from training staff,
smoothie recipes, marketing, hardware, inventory and
anything else you could possibly need to start selling smoothies immediately. We
have found over time that the best way to determine
which solution is right for you is to first determine your average workouts per
day. If you are under 1000 work outs per day the
Automated Smoothie
Solution is the way to go. Low cost startup and huge
profit margins. If
you are over the 1000 work outs per day threshold, then the startup costs for the
free pour system are justifiable. For more information
contact your local Nutri
Blendz representative. Both the
Automated and
Free Pour smoothie
solutions can be modified to fit
your particular needs or to be more compatible with your club environment and
design.
