Nekter Juice Bar, an American smoothie and healthy beverage chain, has announced the launch of a new line called 'Nekter Freshers' and a new specialty offering called 'PB&J Trio.'
With 'Nekter Freshers,' the brand aims to offer customers a healthier alternative to today's most commonly consumed iced beverages. For example, Nekter will offer a series of certified organic and non-GMO teas as well as a new limeade with the option to add fresh orange, lemon, and strawberry. Specific drinks featured in the new series include 'Strawberry Green Tea,' 'Mandarin Cardamom Tea,' and a 'Pitaya Passion Limeade.' Meanwhile, 'PB&J Trio' consists of a PB&J Bowl, PB&J Smoothie, and PB&J Chia Parfait, each made with natural peanut butter.
"This year, we have really enjoyed unleashing our team’s creativity around our new Nekter Freshers while celebrating PB&J, a mainstay in American kitchens for decades, by making them the Nekter way," said Alexis Schulze, co-founder, and chief visionary officer of Nekter Juice Bar.
