This month’s issue of INC. magazine featured an inconspicuous blurb concerning the growing trend in healthy tea, juice and cold beverage consumption. With an emphasis on the ever monopolized tea industry, the editorial touched on a very important note for coffee shops nationwide. The demand for healthy, natural and above all tasty cold beverages continues to mount. However, this shouldn’t come as any surprise to most coffee shop owners who’ve been offering huge assortments in healthy smoothies, iced teas, and organic juices for the past decade. Yet never before have the options been so plentiful. It seems like every time I open a new “spam” email or industry magazine, I discover an infant company boasting the best in vitamin rich, ingredient infused, power fruit mixes or sauces. There’s a plethora of great choices to be had and more flavors than I knew existed for the human palette. It’s all the rage and with summer just around the corner it’s time to once again beef up our cold drink menus.

Even with the prevailing Seattle rainy season, patrons to local coffee shops are already on the hunt for great fruit smoothies and natural iced teas. As a distributor of Sweet Bird smoothie products, we’ve geared-up to help you meet the challenge. Perhaps the most wonderful thing we’ve discovered about Sweet Bird smoothie blends is their subtle, understated richness that is neither over powering nor lacking in flavor. While other mixes often deliver a bitter, chalky sensation, Sweet Bird has created the right blend of naturally tangy ingredients that leave customers begging for more. Adding to their already wide assortment of flavors, Sweet Bird has recently announced three additions to their smoothie line. Available June 15th from Book Brew Coffee the all new Lemon, Raspberry and Mango/Passion Fruit smoothie blends are ready to sweeten up your summer.
