Nope. No blender needed — just shake or froth. A shaker bottle or water bottle works great. If you’re using a glass, we recommend a handheld milk frother to mix it smoothly. A spoon or fork won’t cut it.

Switchback smoothies aren’t designed as meal replacements, but they can hold you when you need it. You can also pair with a scoop of your favorite protein powder for a quick, nourishing meal on the go.

Shelf life is 18 months. Store the packets in a cool, dry place and you’re good to go.

Yes — and even picky eaters often surprise their parents. We’ve heard everything from “Can I have another one?” to “Oooh, look at that color!” (Okay, not that last one. Our smoothies aren’t flashy — they’re naturally green, red, or brown-ish depending on the ingredients. That’s what real food looks like.)

Our smoothies are made with real fruits and vegetables and no weird additives. That said, if you have dietary restrictions or are expecting, check with your doctor to be sure.

Most green powders are highly processed extracts or concentrates. Switchback is made from whole, freeze-dried fruits and veggies — nothing added, nothing taken away. It’s food, not formula.

Anywhere dry and cool — pantry, drawer, gym bag. Just keep them out of heat above 90°F to avoid clumping.

Yep. Our smoothies play well with oat milk, almond milk, coconut water, and even juice. Just know it might change the flavor a bit—taste test and make it yours.

Because we don’t fake it. The colors you see come from real fruits and vegetables — not added dyes, not even “natural colors.” That means our smoothies are sometimes greenish, brownish, or a little of both. It’s not always pretty, but it’s exactly what your blender would look like if you used the same ingredients.

A little. Since we don’t add fillers or emulsifiers, you might get some clumping. Massage the packet before opening and shake it like you mean it. If you’re mixing in a glass, try a frother.

We list every ingredient and follow FDA labeling rules. No hidden stuff. If you ever have questions, just reach out.

Nope. We don’t add sugar, stevia, monkfruit, or any sweeteners—natural or artificial. The sweetness comes straight from real fruits like banana, mango, and pineapple. What you see on the label is what you get.

There’s 3g of naturally occurring protein per smoothie. If you want more, you can add your favorite powder—collagen, plant, or whey—and shake it up.

Yes. Most folks mix in collagen or whey without any issues. Just add a few extra ounces of water and shake well.

Definitely. We suggest starting with 8oz, but if you like a thinner smoothie, go up to 10–12oz. 

Eventually, yes—but not anytime soon. They last up to 18 months unopened. Once mixed, drink within a few hours, or toss it in the fridge and enjoy it later.

Absolutely. Mix it up to 24 hours in advance and store in the fridge. Just give it a good shake before sipping.

Cool, dry spots are best. Avoid high heat (over 90°F), which can melt the natural fruit sugars and cause clumping. You can even store them in the freezer if you want to be extra.

Yes! They’re travel-friendly and TSA-approved. No liquids, no fuss.

You’re not alone. That’s why we focused on taste first. Customers say they’re shocked by how good our green smoothies are. Even our greenest blends taste fantastic— they’re vibrant, fruity, and go down easy.

Smooth and drinkable. Freeze-drying preserves texture and nutrients—no chalky grit here.

Yes! Oat, almond, soy—you name it. Just make sure to give it a good shake.

As often as you like. Daily is best, but feel free to grab one whenever life gets hectic and you want something that’s actually good for you.

Because they’re real. No added colors—even natural ones. What you see is what you get when you blend real fruits and veggies. It might not be Instagram-perfect, but it’s the good stuff your body actually needs.

Keep a couple of packets in your bag or desk. Add water, shake, and you’ve got a quick hit of fruits and veggies to get through the afternoon slump.

Yes — and not in a gimmicky way. Switchback smoothies are made with real fruits and vegetables, no added sugar, and nothing artificial. They fit into a variety of balanced eating styles, whether you’re eating more plant-based, following a Whole30-inspired plan, or just trying to add more whole foods to your day.Each packet gives you 4+ servings of produce, plus fiber and nutrients that support better habits—without the crash, the cleanse, or the complicated rules.

We thought taste was the most important part. And according to thousands of happy customers, we nailed it.
