Costa To Trial Superday Smoothies in Selected Areas

Costa is trialling a new SuperDay Smoothies range across two areas in the UK as the nation’s favourite coffee shop looks to build upon its barista crafted cold drinks range from this month.

As a brand, Costa strive to offer its customers choice, and SuperDay Smoothies has been created to answer a growing trend for UK consumers who search out real and healthy alternatives that help them stay refreshed during Summer.

The new Costa SuperDay Smoothies range is chilled containing real fruit, freshly blended with apple juice and ice which is then handcrafted by Costa’s baristas into a Smoothie that contains 2 of the recommended 5 a day.

The SuperDay Smoothies are available in:

Grape, Watermelon and Strawberry

Melon, Apple, Kiwi and Pineapple

Melon, Mango and Passion fruit

Carol Welch, Group Brand & Innovation Director at Costa said, “We are excited about the trial which answers a real customer challenge. Eating a balanced diet is something we all strive to do. Extending the handcrafting skills of our baristas to offer fresh fruit smoothies containing 2 of your 5 a day provides even greater choice for our customers.”

Costa’s SuperDay Smoothies will be available to customers across 35 stores in South Yorkshire and South East London from now until the end of September priced from £3.50. Costa’s full Summer food and iced drink range is available in stores now.
