Shake, Shake, Shake… Shake, Shake, Shake… Shake your breakfast, Shake your breakfast!
Now that I have that song in your head, you can thank me later, let me tell you my new way to shake some nutrition into my breakfast, snack time and any time in between! Because I have found a way to have my fruit and veggies and not have to clean my blender too! NEW DOLE® Nutrition Plus Fruit & Veggies POWER Smoothie Shakers! I have to admit, they make smoothies better than I do anyway!
Available in the frozen fruit section, these new nutrition infused shakers are easy to spot, easy to store in your own freezer and easy to make and shake! New DOLE Nutrition Plus Fruit & Veggie Shakers POWER Smoothies are made with all natural fruit, veggies, real Greek yogurt and are nutritionally fortified with an extra boost of protein. But I have to say, when you make one and sip one, they taste like nothing but fruit! Sweet, creamy, cold, delicious fruit!
I stumbled upon them at Walmart the other day. Though they are available in three powerful flavors, mine only had the REDPower shakers on shelves. This was fine with me as a Strawberry Rasperry smoothie (with red beet and purple carrots that you can not even taste, by the way) sounded way OK with me!
But try them ALL! Check out the nutrition stats too so you can see how these can Power up your day!

I grabbed some of the REDPower and headed home. I tossed them in my freezer and set a mental note to give them a try when I wanted my morning smoothie.
I have to say, there is something so convenient about these smoothies. In the perfect, drink right from me, container, they are so easy to grab from my freezer and prepare. One day I added apple juice, one day orange juice. I shook them up for about 30 seconds and a frothy, delicious, tastes better than the ones I make in my blender,. smoothie appeared! Plus, when prepared with juice each DOLE Nutrition Plus Fruit & Veggie Shaker POWER Smoothie is less than 200 calories, low in fat and trans fat-free.
The BEST part about the smoothies, though? They are so easy to prepare and drink that they encourage my kids to make them too! For a mom, getting veggies and fruits into kids is a hard job sometimes. With these, it is made a whole lot easier!
Pick up your DOLE® Nutrition Plus Fruit & Veggies POWER Smoothie Shakers at your local retailer and color your diet with Shakers that power your day!
I have to look for these the next time I go to the store. I really want to try these. I actually think my daughter might like these smoothies.
They are really good and my kids like them! I love the added veggie twist too!
