    February 13, 2025

    Pitaya Foods announced two of its best-selling Organic Smoothie Pop varieties are available at 1,345 Kroger stores. 

    Each pop offers a half serving of fruit and is made with only five ingredients consisting of organic fruits and vegetables. The Organic Smoothie Pops do not contain any added sugar, water, or juice concentrates and all of the varieties are non-GMO, USDA Organic certified, gluten and dairy free, vegan, and Certified B Corp. The single-serve Organic Dragon Fruit & Mango and Organic Acai & Blueberry Smoothie Pop varieties are on-shelf in the freezer aisle at select Kroger stores across the country for $6.99 MSRP for a box of four pops. 

    "We're excited to partner with Kroger to expand the availability of our kid-friendly Organic Smoothie Pops, making one of the cleanest ingredient label pops more accessible to families across the nation," said Chuck Casano, CEO and co-founder of Pitaya Foods. "With just five simple organic ingredients — four fruits and one veggie — our pops offer parents a tasty, convenient, and healthier snack option for their children. At Pitaya Foods, we're committed to providing nutritious, fun choices that everyone in the family can enjoy, and we're eager for shoppers to have a wholesome and delicious pop option that doesn't include added sugar, artificial ingredients, or fillers."
