Judges Invite America to Help Select $2,000 Grand Prize Winner
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Judges for the Simpli™ OatShake jingle competition have chosen eight “oat-standing” finalists whose entries best represent the new, fun and deliciously healthy habit of “Drinking Your Oats.” The finalists were chosen on the merits of originality, “simpli-ness” and coolness, and the ability to convey what Simpli OatShakes (www.livesimpli.com) are all about.

About Simpli
The idea for Simpli OatShakes started in 2008, when U.S. émigrés and Simpli co-founders Helena Lumme and Mika Manninen were visiting their native Finland and tasted their first oat-based smoothie and decided soon after to bring it to the U.S. Headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, Simpli OatShakes are the first of many wholesome foods being introduced by Simpli.
