| Starbucks Vivanno |
|
Several new trends have been emerging in the health industry as consumers are starting to diverge from unhealthy fast food items and instead looking for healthy menu choices. It is funny to think that it all started 7 years ago when McDonalds started serving the shaker salad. Now we are seeing several new choices on menus in restaurants everywhere week by week, with this weeks being the Starbucks Vivanno.
July 15, 2008 Starbucks releases a new line of healthy smoothies titled Vivanno. As of yet, we are only seeing 2 different flavors, both containing banana. Both smoothies contain no sugar or artificial sweeteners. What I am seeing so far: a healthy snack alternative when you’re on the go. The drinks each contain at least 250 calories and 16 g of protein. Though there are still 32g of sugars (most probably natural) the drink is shaping up to be a actually look like it s a viable option for a meal replacement, though it will never be labeled that way. Starbucks as always has also come up with some interesting additives for the drink that still keep them calorie wise and delicious. As mentioned before there are 2 flavors, banana chocolate and an orange mango banana blend. For variation, Starbucks suggests a shot of espresso for the banana chocolate drink which adds a no calorie coffee boost and the addition of Matcha green tea powder to the blend, adding an additional 5%DV more vitamin C with additional anti-oxidants.Here are a few of their in-store promotion graphics
