Our Audacious Freeze-Dried Smoothie in 4 Questions
The Audacious Smoothie has been our best seller since the very beginning of the Treko adventure. Discover in this blog article everything you need to know about this product in four questions .
How was this freeze-dried smoothie developed?
In 2019, we were in an intense period of product research and development when we had the idea to add a complement to our meals, namely a dessert. This dessert had to be nutritious enough to be consumed as a breakfast as well.
In addition, it was essential for us to have a versatile product that could be used in all situations. This is how the development of the smoothie really began.
Where does the name “Bold Smoothie” come from?
It was during a brainstorming session to find a name that Émile had the following thought:
"While there are already plenty of smoothies on the market containing "superfoods" and many ingredients, it's bold to sell a freeze-dried smoothie that only contains three ingredients !"
The name has stuck ever since, and it's important to point out that our freeze-dried smoothie is primarily made from ingredients grown in Quebec , which reinforces the " bold " side of the smoothie!
Who are your suppliers?
We mainly use Quebec ingredients to produce our smoothie. In fact, one of our strawberry suppliers is the company Fruit du jour , based in Lavaltrie, about 40 minutes from our premises.
In our region of Mauritius, our maple syrup supplier is Érablière Pagé Savard in St-Alexis-des-Monts. Interestingly, they won the award for the best maple syrup in Quebec in 2021.
How can we prepare this smoothie?
You might think that the only way to enjoy our Audacious Smoothie would be to simply blend it with cold water. So far, we’ve discovered five other possible methods :
Methods using water
Add more water
Adding more water to the Audacious Smoothie results in a highly hydrating drink that can be a great alternative to conventional sports drinks.
Less water
A freeze-dried smoothie with less water will have a much more compact texture than the previous method. This way, you can consume the product like a smoothie bowl with a spoon! Add granola for an even more filling breakfast.
Methods that do not use water
It is also quite possible to have an incredible taste experience with the freeze-dried Audacious Smoothie, even without water! Some people mix it with an alternative drink (soy milk, milk, etc.) or even with yogurt to add a strawberry flavor.
