Frozen Xplosion

What Frozen Xplosion does

Frozen Xplosion is a privately held U.S. specialty beverage company founded in 2003 and headquartered in Camano Island, Washington, that manufactures and distributes neutral-flavored dry-powder bases for frappes, smoothies, frozen cocktails, and related blended beverages. The core product platform centers on two flagship SKUs — an Original Frappe Base (11-ingredient, Kosher-certified, dairy-free formulation) and a Vegan Frappe Base (16-ingredient, clean-label variant) — supplemented by a line of seven real-fruit concentrates (Strawberry, Mango, Wildberry, Orange Cream, Pina Colada, Blue Raspberry, Lemonade). The strategic premise of the product is that a neutral canvas enables operators to create proprietary signature drinks from a single SKU rather than managing dozens of pre-flavored powder SKUs that yield identical menus across the category.

The company sells through three channels: direct e-commerce via frozenxplosion.com, Amazon marketplace for consumer delivery, and an actively recruited wholesale/distributor network offering exclusive pricing, dedicated account management, and marketing support. Customer segments are vertically defined and include independent coffee shops and drive-thrus (primary), restaurants and bars, distributors, and home baristas. Pricing is unit-based, ranging from $10.99 for a 12oz sample bag to $199.99 for a full case of Vegan base, with fruit concentrates priced at $36.99 per half-gallon bottle or $122.99 for a 6-pack, and free shipping on case orders backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

The business is founder-controlled with no disclosed institutional capital, operates with 11-50 employees, and reports 100+ active coffee shop, restaurant, and distributor accounts across the United States. The company has no mobile app, no API surface, no AI/ML capabilities, no patents or trademarks disclosed, and no M&A activity; competitive differentiation rests on proprietary formulation, operator recipe lock-in, and a content-and-education marketing strategy built around a free recipe e-book, video tutorials, and competitor comparison content.

Core offering

Frozen Xplosion manufactures and supplies neutral-flavored frappe and smoothie base powders (Original and Vegan SKUs) that operators blend with water, ice, and their own ingredients (espresso, fruit, syrups, spirits) to create signature frappes, smoothies, granitas, soft serve, and frozen cocktails. The line is complemented by seven real fruit concentrate syrups (Strawberry, Mango, Wildberry, Orange Cream, Pina Colada, Blue Raspberry, Lemonade) for fruit smoothie applications. Products are sold through an own e-commerce site, Amazon, and a growing U.S. wholesale distributor network to coffee shops, restaurants, bars, and home baristas.

Product overview

Frozen Xplosion is a specialty beverage base company offering a small portfolio of complementary products centered around a neutral-flavored powder base system. The core offering consists of two frappe and smoothie base powders — Original (11 ingredients, Kosher certified) and Vegan (16 ingredients, clean-label) — that serve as the universal foundation for creating unlimited signature frozen drinks. These bases are complemented by a line of 7 real fruit concentrates (Strawberry, Mango, Wildberry, Orange Cream, Pina Colada, Blue Raspberry, Lemonade) for smoothie applications. Sample-size bags (12oz Original and Vegan) enable trial before full case purchase, and a free Recipe E-Book provides recipe development support. The system is designed to replace dozens of pre-flavored powder SKUs with one or two universal bases, reducing inventory complexity for coffee shops, restaurants, and food service operators.

Direct peers

• Big Train: Big Train is a leading brand of frappe, smoothie, and specialty beverage bases widely used in coffee shops and foodservice.
