[St Catherine, Jamaica] – Local beverage producer Trade Winds Citrus Limited, a well-known expert in the manufacturing of premium quality juices, is revolutionizing the nutrition and plant-based milk beverage markets with the introduction of two new products, under their newly released brands, TruSHAKE and Tru-Almond.

Managing Director of Trade Winds Citrus, Peter McConnell said, “These new product offerings are in keeping with Trade Winds’ growth trajectory for 2021 – which incorporates diversification, expansion and innovation as our key business strategies.”

TruSHAKE is specifically designed to rival existing products and satisfy consumers’ need for a highly nutritious product which is also affordable. It is suitable for all ages and is offered in a convenient cupboard-friendly 250mL Tetra Pak package. Each serving contains 9g of protein, 30 percent of the daily calcium requirement along with 24 key vitamins and minerals. It is essentially a meal in a bottle to accommodate fast-paced on-the-go lifestyles.

Currently the product is available in a vanilla flavour, but there are plans to launch other new and delicious flavours in 2021.

According to Tru-Juice Marketing Manager, Lauren Mahfood “At Trade Winds the consumer is always at the forefront of our product development. We wanted to create a nutrition shake that was healthy, delicious, affordable, and easy to consume; and that is exactly what we did. TruSHAKE is packed with nutrients and has a great flavour for everyone to grab, shake and go.”

Meanwhile, Tru-Almond is breaking into the domestic almond milk market which is mostly dominated by imported products. Tru-Almond is another delicious creamy alternative to dairy and soy milk. The product, which is lactose free and calcium enriched, is offered in a cupboard friendly 1L Tetra Pak package.

Distribution has already commenced for both TruSHAKE and Tru-Almond. Consumers can look out for these products when shopping in supermarkets and wholesales.

Trade Winds Citrus is a proven premium quality producer with leading brands Tru-Juice and Freshhh renowned in the marketplace.
