How “Real” is your Real Fruit Smoothie Mix?
While most smoothie mixes and syrups on the market today are loaded with sweeteners and additives, Smartfruit 100% Fruit Purées are made without added sugars, preservatives, GMO’s, or artificial flavors and colors.
Over the years, fruit juices have evolved into absurdly complicated products with long lists of phonetically challenging ingredients, artificial flavors and colors, preservatives, sweeteners and GMO’s.
Where Did the Juice Go?
Here at Smartfruit we believe that fruit is perfectly wonderful on its own and that nature knows best.
That’s why we use the freshest Non-GMO fruits and vegetables to make the best products. We promise to give you the juice, the whole juice and nothing but the juice.

The frequency of cleaning the pump depends on use and how quickly the product is dispensed. Clean the pump every time you switch to a new bottle.

Although we recommend to keep your Smartfruit in the refrigerator after opening and consume it within 4 weeks, it is possible to freeze your Smartfruit for up to 2 months. It has to be sealed and stored at 0 F (-18C) or lower. While Smartfruit may not totally freeze due to the high amount of solids in it, it is necessary to thaw it slowly and fully and gently shake it before using it. If not fully thawed, the product may not be uniform and the resulting smoothie may not taste optimal. We recommend consuming Smartfruit within 2 months from the freezing date.
Smartfruit should be refrigerated once it has been opened, and consumed within four weeks. The shelf life can be extended for up to two months from opening by freezing it at 0 F (-18C) or lower. After freezing, it should be allowed to gradually reach room temperature and shaken vigorously before use.
