"3-Berry Blast" Premium Fruit Smoothie Available Nationwide

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. (February 10, 2005) - Orange Julius is continuing to expand its array of Premium Fruit Smoothies by launching its newest flavor, "3-Berry Blast."

Now available nationwide, the new berry smoothie is the first of many new flavors for 2005 and looks to follow in the successful footsteps of Orange Julius’ additional Premium Fruit Smoothies flavors launched in 2004: Strawberry Sensation, Mango Passion, Wild Blue Twist™, and Peaches & Cream.

"3-Berry Blast" combines a delicious blend of raspberries, blackberries, strawberries and non-fat frozen yogurt to create a low fat, unique and refreshing berry flavor, perfect for any time of year. Like the other Premium Fruit Smoothies, the new flavor will become a permanent addition to the Orange Julius menu.

"Our berry-flavored Premium Fruit Smoothies have always been among our most popular drinks," said Lisa Willems Connelly, director of mall brand management and marketing for Orange Julius. "‘3-Berry Blast’ is sure to give our berry-loving consumers another Orange Julius drink to be really excited about."

Orange Julius’ Premium Fruit Smoothies are freshly-blended and are made from a combination of real-fruit, fresh-squeezed orange juice, tropical fruit juice, non-fat frozen yogurt and sherbet. The 18 varieties of Premium Fruit Smoothies can also be enhanced with an optional Nutrifier boost made from the highest quality vitamins, minerals and full potency herbal formula for maximum mind and body benefits.
