For centuries, people have pondered whether a tomato is a fruit or a vegetable. And we still don’t know.
So, if it is a fruit, then why can’t we put it in smoothies? Well, we can. Actually, we don’t have to make it ourselves. Heinz Ketchup and Smoothie King have teamed up for The Heinz Tomato Ketchup Smoothie. The ice cold drink is ketchup mixed in with Acai sorbet, crisp apple juice, juicy strawberries, and tart raspberries.
“When we saw this cultural debate start gaining traction, we knew we had to weigh in with a resounding yes!” says Angie Madigan, Vice President of Elevation Marketing at Kraft Heinz. “The idea of a ketchup smoothie is provocative, and our top priority was landing a delicious tasting fruit smoothie with distinct yet well-balanced ketchup notes. The experts at Smoothie King helped make this dream a reality, and we’re absolutely thrilled with the final smoothie we created together. And like it does for any food – from burgers to fries to eggs – the slightly sweet and tangy taste of HEINZ Ketchup elevates this traditional fruit smoothie to new heights.”
The smoothie is available now for a limited time. If you try it, let me know how it is.
