Simply Beverages, a brand of Atlanta-based The Coca-Cola Co., is entering a new product category with the introduction of its chilled, ready-to-drink Simply smoothie fruit smoothies. The new beverage lineup offers an easy and convenient way to consume a healthy snack — nothing to chop, blend or clean up, the company says.

“People’s lives are always moving at a fast pace, and they are looking for snack and beverage options that help them maintain a well-rounded, healthy lifestyle,” said Kelly Marx, Simply Beverages brand director, in a statement. “Simply smoothies allow everyone to enjoy the delicious taste of a smoothie no matter where they are, at any time, without the hassle and mess of blending it themselves.”

Available nationwide, the Simply smoothie line includes three flavors:

• Strawberry Banana: The taste of real strawberries and bananas and free of added preservatives, colors or artificial flavors.
• Mango Pineapple: Mango and pineapple, blended together with other juices and ingredients for a close to homemade taste.
• Orchard Berry: Sweet apples blended with juicy berries and other ingredients.

Guests attending the Expo West trade show March 6-9 in Anaheim, Calif., will be able to visit booth No. 1645 for an exclusive taste of the Simply smoothies lineup. The new Simply smoothies line continues its nationwide rollout and are available at local grocers in its signature multi-serve 32-ounce Simply carafe as well as single-serve 11.5-ounce bottles.
