Pitaya Foods Drops RTE Smoothie Bowls Nationwide

Pitaya Foods

The new Protein Smoothie Bowls line includes four delicious varieties: Dragon Fruit & Mango, Chocolate & Banana, Coconut & Blue Spirulina, and Acaí, Strawberry & Banana

November 23, 2025


Pitaya Foods, a leader in frozen superfruit products, is proud to announce the launch of a new line of Protein Smoothie Bowls, packed with plant-based protein and ready-to-eat, available at Walmart locations nationwide, as well as at Publix, Giant, Schnucks, Nugget Markets, and Lunds & Byerlys. This innovative line brings together the nutrient-rich benefits of superfruits with 10 grams of protein per bowl, answering the growing consumer demand for more functional, protein-forward foods—especially in the rapidly growing smoothie and bowl category. 

The new Protein Smoothie Bowls line includes four delicious varieties: Dragon Fruit & Mango, Chocolate & Banana, Coconut & Blue Spirulina, and Acaí, Strawberry & Banana.

The whole line is USDA Organic certified, dairy free, gluten free, and vegan, as well the smoothie blends flavors and colors are naturally derived and plant-based from spirulina and dragon fruit. Each variety offers a refreshing and nourishing experience that fuels your day—crafted with real superfruits and whole food ingredients, each spoonful delivers tropical flavor and premium nutrition. 

"We saw an opportunity to evolve our Functional Smoothie Bowls to meet the protein trend that's taken over every aisle, from snacks to beverages," said Chuck Casano, CEO and co-founder of Pitaya Foods. "Our new Protein Smoothie Bowl line delivers the bold, tropical flavor we're known for—now with 10 grams of plant-based protein in every bowl—that's perfect for breakfast, post-workout, or as a nourishing snack."

Today's health-conscious consumers are smarter than ever, seeking better-for-you ingredients but also snacks and meals that support satiety, muscle recovery, and balanced nutrition. Protein is the number one add-in at smoothie shops across the U.S., and Pitaya Foods is bringing that same functional benefit to the freezer aisle—no blender, preparation, or clean up required. 

The Protein Smoothie Bowls are designed for those who value functional nutrition and convenience—consumers who frequent smoothie shops and seek foods with added protein that support wellness goals like muscle growth, fat loss and sustained energy. Pitaya Foods' new bowls meet this need with real fruit, bold flavors, and plant-based protein—making them a smarter alternative for an energy boosting breakfast or snack.

To date Pitaya Foods has helped to protect over 600 hectares from deforestation, supported over 1,000 farms to become USDA Certified Organic and non-GMO Project Verified, and created over 200 new jobs for single moms in Nicaragua. Pitaya Foods' products are available in over 15,000 retail stores and 5,000 food service outlets nationwide.


About Pitaya Foods
As a leader in the frozen fruit category, Pitaya Foods introduces a robust line of premium frozen products that combine amazing health benefits, quality, and taste that are 100% powered by superfruits. Pitaya Foods' new Protein Smoothie Bowls, Swirl Smoothie Bowls, frozen Bite-Sized Pieces, frozen Smoothie Packs, Smoothie Pops, and Regenerative & Organic Frozen Fruit line are made using only the best quality, sustainably grown whole fruits for a bright and delicious taste that doesn't compromise on nutrition.
