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 National Strawberry Day! Not only are they delicious, but they are also fragrant. One of the more aromatic fruits, they belong to the rose family. Another fun fact: the United States produces 1.4 million tons annually, making it one of the top producers in the world. The unmistakable flavor works well in many applications—including our featured strawberry granola—but also jams, juices, smoothies, beverages, candies, and more. Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C, dietary fiber, manganese, and provide several other vitamins and minerals. #NationalStrawberryDay #Granola #SolutionsNaturally

It's important for brands to address formulation challenges to deliver a great-tasting product. Each ingredient in formulation—whether it be colors, flavors, botanicals, etc.—can impact the pH of the product and shelf stability.
