Dole Launches Keto-certified Blends

Dole Packaged Foods has expanded its range of smoothie kits with a keto-certified frozen fruit blend and a new line of three Dole Boosted Blends. The new Dole Keto Berry Blend contains raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, avocado, and a touch of stevia. The non-GMO product is free from added sugars and gluten and is certified kosher. Also free of added sugars, the new line of Dole Boosted Blends features a combination of fruit and ‘boosted cubes’.

“Maintaining a keto diet can be challenging given the need to consume healthy fats while limiting carbs and still craving a variety of refreshing and satisfying foods,” Fatma Kokon, director of frozen marketing at Dole Packaged Foods said. “Our Dole Boosted Blends take the fruit combinations you love in a smoothie and add a boost of energy, protein or vitamin C, in just one quick and convenient step. It’s an easy way to start the morning and make your smoothies work just a little harder for you.” The offering is available in three options: Protein, with whey and almond butter; Energize with matcha green tea; and Vita-C, with strawberries, pineapple and vitamin C-rich acerola. Dole Keto Berry Blend and Dole Boosted Blends are available from the frozen fruit section of most major US retailers. The Berry Blend has an SRP of USD3.99-4.49 per three-serving 12oz pack, while the SRP for Dole Boosted Blends is USD9.99-10.99, with each 32oz pack yielding four servings.
