Planet Smoothie, a Petrus Brands company intent on redefining the smoothie category, announces the launch of Planet Light – more than 20 smoothies under 300 calories. Planet Light smoothies are sweetened with LeanLeaf, Planet Smoothie’s proprietary sweetener made from a blend of Agave and Stevia plants, which is all natural and contains no sugar.
With the introduction of Planet Smoothie’s proprietary LeanLeaf sweetener, the high calorie, sugared smoothie is now a thing of the past. According to LiveStrong.com, the word “smoothie” implies healthy ingredients and low calories….you may assume it contains far fewer calories than a milkshake…but many smoothies contain high amounts of sugar and calories. Not anymore!
“Planet Light smoothies are specially designed for those consumers who seek lower calorie options to enhance their ability to live a healthier lifestyle,” says Bonnie Rhinehardt, president of Planet Smoothie. “Most of the 20 smoothies are gluten free, which enable us to appeal to an even broader audience, including those afflicted with celiac disease – affecting one in every 133 people.”
