Developer of Hawaiian coffees and fruit smoothies Maui Wowi has introduced new limited edition Green Smoothie.

Maui Wowi's brand president Mike Weinberger said: "Maui Wowi is excited to introduce the Green Smoothie to our lineup. Created from customer demand, this is our first smoothie that contains both fruits and vegetables.

"We worked meticulously to create a smoothie that's full of nutritious elements, while cultivating a flavor and texture that will delight the palate. It's a great option for the health-minded smoothie consumer."

The new smoothie is prepared by mixing orange, pineapple, and pear juices with a spinach purée. These are then blended with a live-cultured, probiotic yogurt. Prior to blending with ice, a fresh banana is added to the mix.

"We worked meticulously to create a smoothie that's full of nutritious elements, while cultivating a flavor and texture that will delight the palate."

Available until 31 March, Green smoothie offers a full serving of vegetables and contains dietary fibre, protein, vitamin A, and zinc.

With more than 450 operating units and an online store, Maui Wowi manufactures all-natural, gluten-free, fresh-fruit smoothies, as well as gourmet Hawaiian coffees and espresso beverages.

In November 2015, the firm was purchased by Kahala Brands, which owns 18 quick-service restaurant brands and has about 2,900 locations across 28 countries.
