"Heart Health™" Is Latest Reason To ♥ Odwalla®

"Heart Health™"  Is Latest Reason To ♥ Odwalla®
North America, September 15, 2010

Heart-y new member of Superfood smoothie family uses plant sterols to support cardiovascular health

Half Moon Bay, Calif. - Odwalla soon will have hearts pumpin'. This month, the natural health beverage company introduces Heart Health Superfood, a berrylicious new blend that contains 0.4g of plant sterols per 8 fl oz serving. The plant sterols -- naturally sourced plant extracts -- may help to reduce cholesterol and support cardiovascular health when you drink two 8 fl oz servings per day with meals as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, so Heart Health is as good for your health as it is for your soul. (See below for information about the relationship between plant sterols and heart health.)1

This heart-y smoothie brims with a mix of refreshing juices and purées: apple, peach, banana and strawberry. Then Odwalla adds a touch of tasty purple boysenberry puree and Concord grape juice.

"With its great berry taste, this new Superfood smoothie is so delicious that you might not realize that it's good for you," said Jason Dolenga, brand manager, Odwalla. "But your heart will know."

A good source of Vitamin C and potassium, Heart Health joins the five existing members of the Superfood product family: Original Superfood, Berries GoMega®, Red Rhapsody®, Pink Poetry® and Mo'Beta®. Heart Health is available in 450 mL grab-n-go recyclable plastic bottles.

Consumers can expect to find Heart Health on shelves in natural food stores, select supermarkets and specialty outlets across the country in mid-September.

1Plant Sterols & Heart Disease
