Will it Blend? !!

Just in case you thought that our Usmoothie.com Blendtec Blenders were only able to make real fresh fruit smoothies. How about a Coke and Chicken smoothie, or a Big Mac special?

With a suitable amount of creativity and tongue in cheek we invite you to:

Please note that using your Blender for purposes other than that specified in the User manual will likely invalidate your Warranty

All these videos are provided courtesy of willitblend.com the official home of the "Will It Blend?" video series. Extreme blending depends on the capabilities of the machine being used. Tasks that may be extreme for some machines are, quite frankly, simple tasks for Blendtec blenders. If you want to see more then:

Smoothie Market Grows 600% in 5 years

According to the latest reports:

Smoothie sales soar as health fix sought
LONDON (Reuters) - Young people eager for a quick health fix or hangover cure are fuelling sales of smoothies, with consumers drinking enough of the fruity drinks in 2006 to fill almost 14 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

Consumer research firm Mintel said on Thursday that smoothie sales jumped sixfold to 134 million pounds last year as consumers knocked back 34 million litres of smoothies -- up from just 6.3 million litres in 2001.

People aged between 15 and 34 are most likely to pick up a smoothie, perhaps to soothe a hangover or due to today's hectic lifestyle, Mintel said.

"Healthy eating, and in particular the 5-a-day fruit and vegetable campaign, has been the driving force behind continuing rates of exceptional growth," said Vivianne Ithekweazu, senior market analyst at Mintel.

Mintel forecasts sales volumes will almost treble by 2011 but prices are expected to fall as more smoothie makers enter the market.

Pure fruit smoothies make up the bulk of purchases but sales of smoothies containing ingredients such as ginseng and echinacea that claim to boost the immune system saw the biggest rise.

Our New Stand Makes its Debut

As Ujuice starts to appear under the banner of "3 great brands - 1 great company" it was clear that the old Outspan Fresh stand didn't fit with our new view of the future.

So at the Restaurant show last week the new stand with it's clean, fresh and professional imagery was given it's first airing.

General consensus was once again Ujuice (in association with Outspan fresh) has led the way in terms of a new level of professionalism in the industry.

Whether it's Smoothies, Juicing Equipment, Commercial Blenders or the finest quality Outspan fruit there is only one place to go - Ujuice (www.ujuice.com). And remember that we also have our own inhouse technical engineers who are acheiving in excess of a 98% first time fix rate.

Come and See Us At The Caffe Culture Exhibition

We're on the road again in May.

This time we're showing at London's Olympia on the 24th and 25th May.

This is a brand new event that has been launched to provide owners and managers of cafes and quality retail outlets with a platform dedicated specifically to their needs. As we've said for some time it makes great sense to offer your customers fantastic tasting Freshly Squeezed Outspan Orange Juice to complement the coffee offer.

You'll find us on stand D28, or click here to see all the details

And of course if you can't wait to see us at the show don't forget to check out our new Smoothie Real Fruit Packs at www.usmoothie.com or give us a call on 08700-420-600.

Oh Yes, Working Hard Are We?

Just as the back room boys (and girls) suspected - life on the Exhibition floor is soooooo demanding !!

Somehow the excuse of having to taste the Outspan Freshly Squeezed Orange Bucks Fizz so as to know how to recommend it to the customers really is stretching the credibility.

And no doubt when we see them tomorrow we'll have all the stories about aching feet, bad backs, losing voices..........

They've been rumbled !!
