What You Should Know

Concord Foods Smoothie Mix, Chocolate Banana arrives as a small 1.30 oz single-serve powder packet marketed to families and busy shoppers who want an easy way to turn fresh fruit into a dessert-like drink. You’d typically find it in the breakfast or beverage aisle near instant drink mixes, protein powders, pancake mixes, and smoothie boosters, sometimes shelved close to children’s breakfast items and powdered milk. The brand positions itself as family-friendly and time-saving — a pantry staple for parents who want a quick, attractive way to get kids to eat fruit: “Wake up your fresh fruits & vegetables!” The front label leans on health-forward halos (“No artificial flavors, colors or preservatives,” “Fat free”) and simple serving guidance (“Make with 1 ripe banana & skim milk”), though it is not organic and carries familiar small-print cautions about calories. In plain terms it’s a processed powdered mix — a convenience product built to be blended into smoothies rather than made from whole ingredients alone. Sensory cues promise a sweet, chocolate-banana profile: a fine, slightly creamy powder that dissolves into a smooth, milk-forward drink with a syrupy sweetness from sugar and stevia, light cocoa bitterness from alkalized cocoa, and a slightly viscous mouthfeel from nonfat dry milk and xanthan gum. Packaging is designed for quick ritual — tear, pour, add banana and milk, and blend or shake in a blender bottle for breakfast, an afternoon treat, or a kid-friendly snack after school or sports. The mix leans into approachable indulgence, pairing fresh produce with shelf-stable convenience.
