To Celebrate the Partnership, Guests Have a
Chance to Win a Five-Night, "Journey to Paradise" Excursion to
Miramar Surf Camp in Nicaragua
COSTA
MESA, Calif., May 21, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- This summer, paradise is found at Nékter Juice
Bar as the healthy lifestyle brand merges the nutritional powers of
pitaya (also known as dragon fruit) and passion fruit into three
new, limited-time offerings in a collaboration with trusted and
longtime partner, Pitaya Foods. The three new health-forward and
vibrantly colored, limited-edition varieties include: Pitaya
Passion Smoothie, Pitaya Passion Bowl and Pitaya Frozen
Lemonade.
Nékter Juice Bar has worked with Pitaya Foods for several years
to responsibly source organic pitaya directly from Nicaragua. Pitaya Foods is a pioneer in
sustainable farming in Nicaragua
and works closely with local farmers and communities there to grow
premium-quality, organic and non-GMO superfruits. To date, Pitaya
Foods has spearheaded the USDA Organic certification of more than
800 Pitaya farms, creating over 170 new jobs for local Nicaraguan
single mothers.
Available from May 30 to July 31,
2024, at Nékter Juice Bar's 210 locations nationwide, the
three new menu items are realized in the brilliant colors of the
tropics and will transport taste buds to a tropical paradise with
an unforgettable flavor experience and an abundance of essential
nutrients to nourish the body during long summer days and nights.
Nékter Rewards members can get a sneak preview of the new menu
items with digital-only early access beginning on May 23.
Each of the three new limited-time offerings were created to
elevate the standard of healthy, delicious and clean eating:
- The Pitaya Passion Smoothie is a blissful blend of
Nékter's housemade cashew milk, Pitaya Foods' pitaya, passion
fruit, strawberry, and a hint of agave.
- The Pitaya Passion Bowl bursts with flavor and nutrition
combining pineapple, Pitaya Foods' pitaya, passion fruit, Nékter's
housemade cashew milk, agave, and topped with hemp seed
granola.
- The Pitaya Frozen Lemonade is a delicious and refreshing
blend of Pitaya Foods' pitaya, lemon and agave.
Pitaya, commonly known as dragon fruit, is a nutrient-dense,
low-calorie powerhouse rich in antioxidants, Vitamin C, Vitamin A,
magnesium, and fiber, plus beneficial plant compounds such as
carotenoids and polyphenols. Like pitaya, passion fruit provides
substantial health benefits to sustain and support a healthy
lifestyle and is a rich source of Vitamins C and A, antioxidants
and immune-boosting properties.
"At Nékter Juice Bar, we are always exploring new nutritious and
flavorful ingredient combinations that cater to diverse tastes and
dietary and lifestyle preferences, and we are excited to launch
these three delicious menu items," said Alexis Parra, co-founder and Chief Visionary
Officer, Nékter Juice Bar. "We are so inspired by all that Pitaya
Foods has accomplished around sustainable and responsible farming
in Nicaragua, and how they support
local farmers and help single mothers secure employment. This
partnership between Nékter Juice Bar and Pitaya Foods not only
underscores a shared commitment to quality and sustainability but
also our promise to offer our guests an authentic and delectable
flavor experience."

Foods have partnered on a special "Journey to Paradise" sweepstakes
