March 26, 2024 // Franchising.com // NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. - Juice It Up! is proudly welcoming spring with the introduction of its Protein Açaí Smoothie, alongside the return of the popular Chocolate Dipped Açaí Smoothie. Loaded with antioxidants and protein, the limited-time smoothies are perfect for guests looking to give their routine a spring refresh, while maintaining or elevating their protein and nutrient intake. Since 2001, Juice It Up! has featured açaí as a menu mainstay, cementing the brand as one of the first, if not the first, smoothie and bowl chain in the U.S. to introduce the Brazilian berry before açaí gained its reputation as a nutrient-dense superfruit.

The new Protein Açaí Smoothie features SAMBAZON® organic açaí, ripe banana, peanut butter, almond milk, non-fat yogurt, guarana and a choice of three protein powders – whey, soy or plant-based – for guests to customize to their liking. The Protein Açaí Smoothie shares the same protein-packed base as Juice It Up!’s popular menu mainstay, the Protein Açai Bowl – the success of which inspired the creation of the limited-edition smoothie. Whether guests choose to sip on-the-go or enjoy the popular bowl format, Juice It Up!’s Protein Açai options are ideal meal replacements or supplemental boosts of protein. Additionally, Juice It Up!’s wildly popular Chocolate Dipped Açaí Smoothie is returning to the menu for the fourth consecutive year. Made with SAMBAZON® organic açaí, soy milk, ripe banana, and Ghirardelli® chocolate, the decadent treat not only tastes indulgent, but also provides an excellent source of calcium and magnesium.

“We are honored to be a part of Juice It Up!'s exciting journey as they introduce their latest menu masterpiece. SAMBAZON® takes immense pride in our 23-year partnership with Juice It Up!, a collaboration built on trust, quality, and a shared commitment to delivering exceptional açaí experiences. We look forward to many more years of success, innovation, and flavorful adventures with Juice It Up!,” said Robert Spinelli, Senior VP Foodservice at SAMBAZON®.

Juice It Up! Rewards® members can enjoy exclusive early access to the new Protein Açaí Smoothie, which is available now to purchase only through the Juice It Up! app. The Protein Açaí Smoothie will launch systemwide for all guests on April 2 and will be available through April 30 in-store, online and through the mobile app. The Chocolate Dipped Açaí Smoothie will be exclusively available on the mobile app for reward members from April 2 through April 30.
