Nekter Juice Bar debuts seasonal items

Nekter Juice Bar is next week introducing two new seasonal offerings, adding Merry Mint and Pumpkin Spice flavors of its frozen Skoop dessert. The new items, made with cashew milk and other ingredients, are dairy-free.

In addition, the juice chain is returning its Mint Chocolate Chip Smoothie, which it’s promoting as “Christmas in a cup.”

“Keeping healthy during the holidays doesn’t mean sacrificing the most delicious and iconic flavors of the season,” Steve Schulze, CEO of Nekter Juice Bar, said in a statement. “Nekter Juice Bar’s three new seasonal offerings capture all the flavors we crave but also provide our bodies with incredible nutritional benefits so we can enjoy a healthful holiday.”

The holiday items are available at participating Nekter units in eight states.
