October 29, 2007 // Franchising.com // Manhattan Beach, CA, —Robeks Corporation, a premium fruit smoothie and healthy eats national franchisor, brings back for a limited time only, its popular Yerba Maté Chai Smoothie, one of Robeks' exotic fresh and healthy fruit smoothies. Yerba Maté Chai smoothies will be available at all Robeks locations until December 31. Yerba Maté Chai is one more example of Robeks' innovative meal replacements for consumers who seek out healthier-for-you energy food in their daily diets.

Yerba Maté (pronounced "yerba mahtay") originated with the Guarani Indians of South America, and is considered an ancient drink for health and friendship. Derived from leaves referred to as Ilex Paraguayensis, Yerba Maté is a cultural phenomenon in South America where, it is said, people in Buenos Aires carry their Maté with them throughout the day, and the site of an obese person is rare. Known for its natural energy-generating power, Maté leaves contain natural caffeine, theobromine (found in chocolate) and theophylline (found in green tea). What healthier way to get through your to-do list during the holidays?

Rich in antioxidants, the Yerba Maté Chai Smoothie provides twice the amount of antioxidants as one cup of green tea or a serving of blueberries, based on a 24-ounce smoothie size. Chai is a Hindi word for tea. It has been a traditional drink in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal. Chai is known for its tantalizing blend of sweet spices, cinnamon, cloves and vanilla. The combination of energy-giving nutrients of Yerba Maté with the harmonious flavors of Chai makes this exotic smoothie a guest-pleaser.
