From booming personalization options to unexpected functional ingredients, here are some of the trends redefining the sports drinks category: https://lnkd.in/gnp3an5F While flavor remains the top sports drink attribute for U.S. consumers (at 46%), low/no sugar credentials come in second place (at 32%). Gatorade, for example, sees zero sugar as a way to bring lapsed consumers back: giving them the brand they want but without the sugar they don't. Are you exploring low/no sugar drink alternatives? Clean label? Functional ingredients? We'd love to help! FruitSmart is much more than an ingredient supplier or product-list provider. We’re a one-stop-shop, solution-driven partner that’s focused on turning your ideas into reality. #sportsdrink #beverageindustry #beverageinnovation #solutionsnaturally

It's been a great start to our time at Expo West! At FruitSmart, we want to have a conversation. We want to listen. We want to understand. Then we’ll go above and beyond to deliver exactly what you need. We’ve found that when we partner to develop solutions instead of simply providing ingredients, the gap of unanswered questions becomes filled with unlimited possibilities. Stop by our booth (690) and let's talk!
