Blender Bites Limited (the “
Company”,
“
Blender Bites” or “
Blender”),
(CSE:
BITE, FWB:
JL4, WKN:
A3DMEJ), a multi award-winning Canadian company
involved in the development and marketing of a line of premium,
organic and plant-based pre-portioned frozen functional foods, has
collaborated with Orgain, the #1 selling plant protein powder brand
in the US1 and Emmy Award winning performer and Blender Bites
investor Julianne Hough to create Superberry Sport™ 1-Step
Smoothie™. This protein-enhanced smoothie is designed to support
optimal muscle recovery and is now available at BJ’s Wholesale
Clubs, with a nationwide expansion at other major retailers
throughout the summer.
Superberry Sport™ embodies Blender Bites’ and
Orgain’s shared commitment to providing delicious, convenient, and
effective plant-based nutrition solutions. Orgain’s Founder and
CEO, Dr. Andrew Abraham, worked with Blender Bites’ CEO and
Founder, Chelsie Hodge, contributing his extensive product
knowledge, formulation expertise and sensory skills on Superberry
Sport™ which provides a USDA certified organic blend of plant-based
protein, tart cherry, maqui and goji berry, turmeric, and B
vitamins to support muscle recovery.
Hough also played a key role in creating
Superberry Sport™. A passionate advocate for healthy living and a
regular consumer of Blender Bites products, she actively
participated in creating the ideal post-workout smoothie.
“Creating a custom smoothie blend has been a
dream of mine for some time now,” says Hough. “I am a huge
proponent of smoothies after my exhaustive workout and dance
schedules, and I have seen firsthand how supplementing my body
properly helps tremendously in my recovery. When the opportunity
arose to create a custom formula with Blender Bites, I knew that I
had to replicate my own daily smoothie. I couldn’t be more excited
to share this with everyone, and I know it will benefit others as
much as it has benefited me.”
“We’re excited to penetrate the sports nutrition
market alongside such a known and respected brand such as Orgain,”
says Chelsie Hodge, Founder and CEO of Blender Bites. “By
collaborating with Orgain, we were able to create a convenient and
effective product that supports post workout recovery. We’re
confident health-conscious consumers will love it.”
“Blender Bites’ dedication to convenience and
clean ingredients perfectly complements Orgain’s expertise in
creating delicious, plant-based nutrition,” says Abraham. “It was
an exciting experience to work with the team in developing a 1-step
smoothie that delivers on taste and provides post-workout support
for active individuals.”
Blender Bites is known for its innovative
“1-Step Smoothie” concept. Superberry Sport™, like all their
products, comes in convenient pre-portioned frozen pucks. Simply
blend the puck with your favorite liquid, like water or plant-based
milk, for a delicious and nutritious smoothie – no mess, prep or
waste. For more information on Blender Bites and Superberry Sport™,
