International Day of Awesomeness

Today, all across the world, people are acknowledging what it means to be AWESOME  in honor of the International Day of Awesomeness.
It's fun to kick back and ponder- what is totally awesome?
Watching my daughter buzz around on stage as windy bee in her first school play- crazy awesome; seeing my husband run his first marathon- really awesome; a swim in the ocean - awesome; a nap? Now THAT would be awesome.
At Chloe's™ Soft Serve Fruit Co.™ we aim for awesome  every day. Fruit is at the heart of our endeavor. It is our muse.
Fruit is an awesome part of a healthy diet and we love its endless variety of textures, sizes, shapes, and of course, powerful flavors. We also love the natural beauty in the kaleidoscope of colors and find inspiration from it. Here are just a few awesome examples of fruit.

CEO Michael Sloan Escapes from Alcatraz.

Chloe’s™ Soft Serve Fruit Co.™ CEO, Michael Sloan, has been a triathlete for some time now. He recently took part in the Escape From Alcatraz Triathlon in San Francisco. This year marked his 5th time in a row competing in the race.  After a frigid 1.5 mile swim from Alcatraz, treacherous 18 mile bike ride, and 8 mile run through the hills of San Francisco, Michael raced to the airport for his flight back to New York City. 

How does Michael recover after all of the action? He goes straight for his favorite Chloe’s Soft Serve Fruit smoothie: the PBJC with skim milk and whey protein. 

CONGRATULATIONS MICHAEL – We are all proud of you!

Breakfast: Eat it! 

“Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” - Lewis Carroll

The Soft Serve Fruit Co. is now serving BREAKFAST!! 

There are so many reasons to eat breakfast. Many of us still hear our mothers nagging us about the "most important meal of the day." We rebel by pounding a cup of coffee on the way to work, eating a donut in the conference room or settling for one of the many "healthy" fruit bar options out of a box.

But it turns out our mothers were right, we should be eating breakfast! However, now more than ever, it is important to fuel your day with healthy options that boost your metabolism, deter you from over-snacking during the day and give you powerful antioxidants, fiber, and flavonoids! Our new breakfast menu does just that!

Breakfast refers to "breaking the fast" of the night before but in our jumbled world has come to mean a lot of different things. To us, breakfast means; A healthful meal that offers recovery after a morning workout to jumpstart you for the day ahead; or just an enjoyable way to, first thing in the morning, pack in and provide yourself with delicious recommended servings of Fiber, Vitamin C,  and so much more cheer!

Here's what the smarty-pants over at Harvard University had to say about Breakfast

I wonder what they would have to say about the '80s classic movie "The Breakfast Club". OUR breakfast club is healthy and delicious, minus the '80's style and teen angst. Only healthy ingredients and joyful eating are allowed in the clubhouse!

So let's get down to the cold, hard facts about breakfast! Here is a great infographic that explains America's eating habits. A lot of great reasons to eat a healthy breakfast. The Soft Serve Fruit Co. never sacrifices taste for health - we strive to accomplish both.

Our breakfast menu is packed with high-fiber, healthy, and most importantly tasty options.

Steel cut, fruit infused oatmeal from The Soft Serve Fruit Co. will blow you away with its tantalizing taste. You never would have imagined that oatmeal could taste this good! It's a far cry from the gruel we have come to expect.

Craving something a little more indulgent? Try one of our vegan waffles topped with fresh fruit, a Soft Serve Fruit variety of your choice and toppings! This is sure to get your day started off on the right foot and keep you smiling throughout the grind. 

On the go? Grab one of our new power packed smoothies. These are really sure to get you going and fill you with nutrients and vitamins in a delicious drink! Or grab any of our other fantastic breakfast items.

Indulgent Dark Chocolate at The Soft Serve Fruit Co!

Our newest fruit variety at The Soft Serve Fruit Co. is indulgent, silky, divine and healthy DARK CHOCOLATE! Yep, you heard us right, we said fruit. 

Cacao or dark chocolate comes from the cacao tree. Cacao beans are seeds that come from the pod-like cacao fruit. The seeds are chocolate in its purest, most antioxidant rich form. These seeds are what we use to make our newest soft serve fruit variety! The best part about it (besides the amazingly rich taste) is that dark chocolate is a Super-Food!

We use the best single origin Ecuadorian cacao to make our dark chocolate Soft Serve Fruit, and it tastes amazing. Our cacao comes from the Los Rios province of Ecuador and is catergorized as "Fine or Flavour" cacao. This kind of cacao only accounts for about 5% of the world's total annual production, making it a very special dark chocolate indeed. 

There's nothing wrong with giving in to the dark side and feeling good about being "bad". Our friend DARK CHOCOLATE is tired of being maligned. He wants to break free and show the world what he is capable of. Here are just a few accomplishments. 

 

  • It has been shown to lower cholesterol
  • It gives us better looking skin
  • It is Full of antioxidants  

 

What more could we ask for in a friend? 

Here are some of the scintillating ways to try our fantastic Dark Chocolate Soft Serve Fruit!
