I know you must be thinking, How is it possible to make a fruit and veggie smoothie WITHOUT a blender? I was curious, too, when DOLE sent me coupons to try their new DOLE Nutrition Plus Fruit & Veggie Shakers POWER Smoothies as part of a compensated campaign with the Mom It Forward blogger network.
The reason you don’t need a blender is because the fruit, vegetables and yogurt are already prepped inside the Shaker. All you have to do is add your favorite juice to the Shaker and shake it up. I was excited to try this out for myself. So off I went to the grocery store, fingers crossed that I could find the DOLE Fruit & Veggie Shakers in the freezer section…There they are!
New DOLE Nutrition Plus Fruit & Veggie Shakers POWER Smoothies (suggested retail price: $2.19 each) are available in 3 varieties:
Blueberry Banana with Red Beet (Blue POWER) Shakers
Boosts:
- 100% DV of vitamins B6 & B12
- 100% DV of folic acid
- 5 grams of protein
Pineapple Mango with Sweet Potato and Carrot (Yellow POWER) Shakers
Boosts:
- 100% DV of vitamin C
- A good source of vitamins A & E
- 5 grams of protein
Strawberry Raspberry with Red Beet and Purple Carrot (Red POWER) Shakers
Boosts:

- 100% DV of vitamin E

Isn’t it cool how the DOLE Smoothie Shakers are packaged by color, so you know which fruits and veggies are inside? Our diets need a variety of nutrients, and the RED, YELLOW and BLUE POWER shakers make it simple.
Why we love the DOLE Nutrition Plus Fruit & Veggie Shakers POWER Smoothies:
The DOLE Smoothie Shakers are an easy way to make smoothies without having to pull out the blender and all the different ingredients. We can enjoy a smoothie and there’s virtually no mess for me to clean up.
My kids love cooling down in the summer with frozen treats. The DOLE Fruit & Veggie Shakers are a healthier alternative to things like ice cream and popsicles. The kids enjoy yummy smoothies – and get a good dose of all-natural fruit, real veggies and Greek yogurt. Each smoothie contains less than 200 calories, is low and fat and trans fat-free.
You can change the flavor of the smoothie depending on what kind of juice you put into it. One of our favorites is using orange juice in the Pineapple Mango with Sweet Potato and Carrot Shaker. You can control the thickness of the smoothie by adding more or less juice. I like thick smoothies, so I use less juice than the fill line suggests.
Our entire family enjoys DOLE Nutrition Plus Fruit & Veggie Shakers POWER Smoothies. I’m all for adding more wholesome fruits and veggies into our daily diet. Try them at your house and see just how easy it can be to make a delicious smoothie. DOLE Smoothie Shakers are available at grocery stores nationwide – look for them on the frozen aisle.

This is awesome. An easy way to make a smoothie no matter where you are. It would be great to put a few in my work refrigerator. I tend to get hungry and go for the vending machine instead of healthier options.
Rita Spratlen says
I would love these especially for taking on a day trip. It would be better than bringing pop etc to drink. I am going to grab a couple. I need to go shopping and I have been putting it off. Thanks for the information.
