Instant Vending Machine Milkshakes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Shmoo Milkshake Comes in Four Flavors That are Ready to Mix

— August 27, 2022 — Marketing
The Shmoo milkshake is a powdered drink mix for use in vending machines to enable consumers to easily access the creamy beverage in a much easier manner.

The drink mix comes in four flavors including Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry and Banana, which are formulated for use in cold or chilled vending machines. The product only requires water to be added to deliver a rich, creamy flavor experience. All the work can be autonomously done inside the evening machine before the final product is provided to the consumer, ready to enjoy.

Marketing Manager at Aimia Foods Karen Green commented on the Shmoo milkshakes saying, "When mixed through a cold/chilled vending machine, Shmoo vending powders share the same creamy texture that blended Shmoo shakes are renowned for, with just the addition of water therefore the vending machine virtually takes care of the entire Shmoo shake making process automatically – and the customer can enjoy their favourite Shmoo shake simply by pressing the button/screen of the machine”.
