Ingredients and Nutritional Information for our Smoothies -
The Maui Wowi® Base Mix -
In selecting their business direction, the Summerhays’ decided whether they would create the most inexpensive product or the best. We are proud to offer the absolute best smoothie base mix on the market today. There are none with higher quality ingredients than Maui Wowi®. Maui Wowi® is the ‘Rolls Royce’ of Sm
oothies. Using whole pulped fruit and juices from around the world, the Summerhays blended Maui Wowi® fruit with non-fat yogurt, a dash of pure beet sugar, and the addition of just a touch of other natural flavors. Unlike other smoothie products, there are no artificial flavors, chemicals, artificial ingredients, or preservatives. The quality of Maui Wowi® smoothies requires the mixes to be refrigerated or frozen to maintain their delicious and distinct flavor. Unlike competing brands, the product is not reconstituted in water, and it cannot be left on a closet shelf for years on end. Our Mixes are preserved with all natural lactic and citric acid. Nutritional Benefits of Maui Wowi -
Information based on 12-14 oz finished Maui Wowi w/ banana
2 Fruit Servings According to the United States Governmental Dietary Values, Maui Wowi qualifies as 2 fruit servings with banana. We use only the highest grade of fruit juice concentrates, fruit purees and then an added fresh banana. Bananas have long been used as an important food to boost the health of malnourished children. One half banana contains 301 mg of potassium, 1 gram of protein and 2 grams of fiber. Additionally, there are 61.5 I.U of vitamin A, a full range of B vitamins are present with .035 mg of Thiamine, .075 mg of Riboflavin, .41 mg Niacin, .44 mg vitamin B6, and 15 mcg of Folic Acid. There are 8 mgs of vitamin C. As far as minerals go, Calcium counts in at 4.6 mg, magnesium at 22 mg and trace amounts of iron and All of these health benefits for just 18 gms of carbohydrates. Putting all of these figures together clearly shows the banana as one of the healthiest fruits. Yogurt -
We use pure, undefiled, wonderfully nutritious, live and active yogurt cultures. Our yogurt is not the frozen soft serve type frozen yogurt (which is not real yogurt at all). In order to qualify for Maui Wowi yogurt cultures it must be raw milk and have a very low bacteria count. Our manufacturers have a policy of not accepting milk from dairy herds which have been treated with BST (bovine somatotropin or bovine growth hormone). It must be free from antibiotics, sanitizing chemicals, mastis milk, colostrum and rancid milk. It must have no contamination by bacteriophages. It is then fermented and homogenized (mixed really well) and finally pasteurized (heated). Yogurt health benefits may surprise you. It aids in boosting the immune system because of its live and active cultures. It encourages the right kind of bacteria to multiply in the intestines. This bacterium helps to digest food and prevent stomach infections such as salmonella or food poisoning. It contains a good amount of phosphorus and is helpful to people at risk of osteoporosis. Yogurt is a huge source of calcium and considered a better source than a glass of milk, due to the fact that millions of Americans are lactose intolerant. The bacteria helps break down the enzyme lactose before it enters your body, thus making it easier to digest and less likely to cause pain. If that isn't enough here's another big benefit – yogurt is extremely helpful in the fight against ulcers. Ulcers are caused by bacteria living in the stomach which is almost always treated w/ large doses of antibiotics when diagnosed. However, eating live active culture yogurt keeps the ulcer causing bacteria under control. It takes up residence in the digestive tract and starts competing with the harmful ulcer causing bacteria restoring a healthy environment in the intestines. A study was done at the University of California which discovered that people who ate 2 cups of yogurt every four months increased levels of gamma interferon which is a protein that helps blood cells fight off disease. Gamma interferon is one of the best defenses against viruses. So for the many reasons we've outlined, live active bacteria cultures in our yogurt will provide a multitude of health benefits.
