Nekter’s SKoop and New Loyalty Program
07.26.19
Nékter Juice Bar’s Skoop is a favorite vegan ice cream made fresh in small batches using creamy cashew milk and plant-based ingredients. It’s 100% vegan, dairy-free, and soy-free, yet full of flavor, freshness and nutritional content.
They just released four new flavors for summer: Monster Cookie Dough with vegan cookie dough, coconut mile, vegan chocolate chips, blue spirulina, Madagascar vanilla, and agave nectar; Peanut Butter Swirl with smooth & creamy butter swirled with layers of vegan chocolate milk, Madagascar vanilla, agave nectar with a pinch of sea salt. There’s also Orange Twist with creamy coconut milk blended with sweet tangerine, Madagascar vanilla, and agave nectar; and Chocolate Haze a decadent blend of pure cocoa, hazelnut butter, cashew milk, peanut butter, coconut sugar and agave nectar with a pinch of sea salt.
Nékter Juice Bar’s also launched a new loyalty program that offers guests a faster and easier way to earn rewards across multiple menu categories. With the new points-based program, guests can earn enough points for their first reward in just two-to-three visits and have the option of accumulating points to earn even greater rewards such as free fresh juices and Superfood smoothies, or free made-to-order acai and Dragon Fruit Bowls.
The launch coincides an upgraded and fully integrated mobile app featuring enhanced functionality around gift cards, online ordering and third-party delivery options.
