Attendees will be the first to taste the vibrant, better-for-you sodas that are anticipated to be available nationwide this summer.
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA – Evolution Fresh, a leading producer of organic, cold-pressed, premium juice products is set to tease two new Real Fruit Soda flavors, Black Cherry Cola and Pineapple Dragon Fruit, at Natural Products Expo West before they hit national retail locations in the coming months. Attendees are invited to visit the Evolution Fresh booth #1301 in Hall B to taste the new flavors and learn about the brand’s fresh twist on traditional soda. Since entering the market in June, Evolution Fresh’s Real Fruit Soda has quickly earned its spot as the #2 refrigerated alternative soda brand1, while its juices are #1 in the cold-press beverage category at Whole Foods2.
Evolution Fresh’s Pineapple Dragon Fruit and Black Cherry Cola Real Fruit Sodas are made with USDA Organic Certified, real squeezed fruit juice, never from concentrate. The better-for-you sodas provide the same level of sweetness and bold taste as traditional soda, while bursting with benefits in every bubble sip. Each product contains no added sugar and 5g of prebiotic fiber to support gut health. With only 5 grams of sugar and no more than 45 calories per can, each vibrant flavor is also Non-GMO Project Verified, USDA Organic Certified, Gluten-Free, vegan, and kosher.
Evolution Fresh continues to innovate in the modern soda space as a result of consumers becoming increasingly interested in new and traditional flavors that prioritize real ingredients. The brand’s introduction of Pineapple Dragon Fruit and Black Cherry Cola Real Fruit Sodas meet the rising demand for classic, nostalgic flavors and unconventional, exotic tastes, while excluding the use of unnecessary dyes, artificial flavors and ingredients, and added sugar.
“We can’t wait to give Expo West attendees a sneak peek of our up-and-coming Real Fruit Soda flavors,” said Molly White, Chief Marketing Officer at Generous Brands. “Our strength lies in creating classic and unique flavor varieties that are equally as delicious as they are nutritious. We’re excited to receive initial reactions from attendees as they taste our Pineapple Dragon Fruit and Black Cherry Cola Real Fruit Sodas before the rest of the world is able to experience them.”
The current lineup of Evolution Fresh Real Fruit Sodas can be found chilling in the beverage cooler at national retailers including Whole Foods Market, Publix, and Kroger, to name a few. The Pineapple Dragon Fruit and Black Cherry Cola flavors will be available for purchase at national retail locations later this year.
