Blender Bites

What Blender Bites does

Blender Bites is a Vancouver-based consumer packaged goods company that designs, manufactures, and distributes pre-portioned 1-step frozen smoothie and frappé pucks sold under the Blender Bites brand. The core technology is a frozen-beverage puck containing organic fruits, vegetables, and functional ingredients (probiotics, plant proteins, collagen, lion's mane, and 12+ whole-food vitamins/minerals) that the consumer activates by adding liquid and either blending or shaking — eliminating produce prep, measurement, cleanup, and the need for a blender. The portfolio comprises six smoothie SKUs (Power Berry, Green D-Tox, Daily Defen-C, Liquid Sunshine, Tropical Glow, Superberry Sport) and three frappé SKUs (Mindful Mocha, Caramel Collagen, Vanilla Bean-Bio), all USDA and Canada Organic certified, plant-based, non-GMO, and packaged without inner plastic liners.

The company operates a traditional CPG distribution model, selling through major North American grocery and mass-market retailers including Walmart, Albertsons Companies (Safeway, Jewel-Osco, Pavilions, Randalls, Tom Thumb), HEB, Publix, Winn-Dixie, and Bristol Farms, with combined retail presence in 5,000+ stores. Direct-to-consumer e-commerce is fulfilled via the Instacart marketplace. Revenue is generated from wholesale/retail margin on one-time product purchases; no subscription or recurring-pricing model is publicly disclosed. The company employs 1–10 people, is led by founder/CEO Chelsie Hodge (former VEGA, capital-markets background) and VP of Finance Mike Iannone (CPA, CA), and has raised approximately $2.35 million across two disclosed 2024 funding rounds, including a $1.48M Export Development Canada facility and a non-brokered private placement of up to $1.2M. Strategic brand and product partners include celebrity investor/brand partner Julianne Hough and organic-protein brand Orgain (co-developer of the Superberry Sport SKU).
