Fresh juice machine provider iSqueeze has partnered with US smoothie technology company Smoodi to bring self-service smoothie stations to UK food-to-go businesses.

Described by the pair as “the UK’s first automated smoothie station”, it uses the latest self-service technology to blend, clean and service on its own.

Customers can pick up a 400ml cup and place it on the machine, which then blends frozen fruit with cold water and dispenses it into the cup.

Made from 100% real fruit juice with no added sugar, smoothie flavours include Strawberry & Banana, Tropical, Green Matcha, Mango Lassi, Very Berry, and Choco Boost.

iSqueeze provides retailers with all cups and straws, and offers maintenance and aftercare services.

“We identified a huge gap in the market for freshly made smoothies, ready in seconds, created by customers themselves using the latest self-service technology, a game-changer for retailers across the UK who want to improve the quality of food-to-go offerings,” said iSqueeze MD Elias Ebert.

“The state-of-the-art automated system means flavours are blended for customers, with minimal waste and cleaning, cost-effective, with reduced labour costs compared with juice bars. This is the future of smoothies on the go, empowering healthy habits for consumers and a healthy profit for retailers.”
