Each packet makes an 8-12oz smoothie. And each flavor comes with 3-4 servings of fruits and vegetables.

They come in packs of 7 or packs of 21. And come out to about $4/smoothie.

Flavors

Switchback has three flavors to choose from. My favorite part about Switchback smoothies is that they don’t add any extra sweeteners. Love that. I feel the smoothies are plenty sweet as is, and there’s always the option to add your own choice of sweetener if you feel the need.

I enjoyed all the flavors, but Tropic Roar was my favorite. They all tasted like real, actual food.

Making The Smoothie

These smoothies are simple to make. They come with their own shaker bottle, but you can use whatever you want. The smoothie powder mixes up in water very quickly. You just add 8-12oz of water, and the smoothie powder and shake it up for about 10 seconds. All the powder mixes in nicely, and I didn’t get any clumps of smoothie at all.

Great For Backpacking

These smoothies fill one of the main cravings I always get on hikes and backpacking trips. I always want fresh fruit and vegetables when I’m hiking. These smoothies meed that need very nicely. And I love the straight forward ingredients they have as well. Just simple and to the point.

They are also low mess. It is very easy to clean the shaker bottle after drinking the smoothie so dishes are very easy especially on the trail while hiking. It is a great lightweight option for getting some extra fruits and veggies during adventures.
