October’s falling temperatures signal the end of the growing season in northern parts of the country.  This bumper crop season for tart cherries, apples and wild blueberries in our fruit-producing region has been a result of near perfect growing conditions.

Fall also signals the harvest of pomegranates in the San Joaquin Valley of California where another plentiful crop is expected.

During October, FruitFast’s featured special is our Wonderful Pomegranate Liquid Fruit Supplement at a 25% savings, only $14.95 per 10 ounce bottle. Each bottle contains 60 teaspoon-sized servings that are 10 calories each and offer 150 mg of Anthocyanins. Made from a combination of our Wonderful Pomegranate Juice Concentrate and our Wonderful Pomegranate Fruit Paste, it mixes into your favorite beverage, yogurt or smoothie. Many of our customers take a teaspoon straight from the bottle or add this healthy liquid to recipes.

Just as delicious and versatile are FruitFast’s CherryFlex and Mixed Berry Liquid Fruit Supplements, an innovative way to pass along the health benefits of these dark-skinned fruits to keep your family in peak condition this winter.

Special pricing continues of $15.95 for our Cranberry Softgels, and we want to remind you of our new, lower prices for most of our fruit juice concentrates.
Like tart cherry juice and wild blueberry concentrates, FruitFast is passing savings on to customers this month as a result of these plentiful fruit harvests.

Wait no longer!  Contact us today and enjoy the harvest.

Smoothie popularity continues to grow nationwide as a commercially-made beverage that’s a healthy alternative to sugary soft drinks.  But they can just as easily be created right in your own kitchen.

When I think of smoothies, several thoughts come to mind;
• A healthy drink
• Easy to make
• Inexpensive

Brownwood Acres/ FruitFast supplies our delicious and nutritious Fruit Juice Concentrates and popular Liquid Fruit Supplements to smoothie outlets, health clubs, restaurants and natural food stores.  So if you have a favorite eatery, gym or grocery store that you wish would carry the FruitFast line to improve their smoothies, tell them about www.brownwoodacres.com.  Or let us know and we will contact them for you.  Just call us toll free at 1.877.591.3101.

There really isn’t anything tricky or complicated when it comes to creating your own smoothie right at home.  I recommend starting with your favorite ingredients – which we know will include our FruitFast concentrates and liquids – and ones you typically have on hand.

Start with the fruit, water, milk or juice, ice cubes and then get creative!  For an extra healthy treat, flaxseed, wheat germ or whey powder can be added for a boost.  Low fat yogurt adds nutrition with fewer calories or the reverse can be the goal when you add nuts, ice cream or chocolate syrup.  Then you have dessert in a glass.

FruitFast’s gourmet cook, Debbie Colaianni, can get you started with a recipe for a Pomegranate and Mixed Berry Smoothie that’s on the FruitFast Recipe Blog.

And yes, do share your favorite smoothie recipes with us.
