Playa Bowls Brings Superfruit Functional Benefits to Refreshers with Surf Quenchers

Better-For-You Refreshers Feature Playa Bowls' Signature Superfruit Bases, Natural Fruit Purees, Organic Agave, 100% Pure Lemon Juice, and Optional Plant-Powered Energy

BELMAR, N.J., Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Playa Bowls® is redefining the fast-growing refresher category with the launch of better-for-you Surf Quenchers. These four handcrafted beverages are made with Playa Bowls' signature superfruit bases, seasonally sourced natural fruit purees, organic agave and 100% pure lemon juice, with the option to add plant-powered energy. Transforming the functionally beneficial ingredients guests know and love from Playa's bowls and smoothies into made-to-order refreshers, Surf Quenchers do what only Playa can by reimagining refreshers through the foundational power of superfruit.

Every Surf Quencher can be enjoyed caffeine-free or customized with optional plant-powered energy. The energy boost, naturally sourced from green coffee bean extract, provides approximately 70 mg of caffeine. Individually hand-crafted in a shaker, poured over ice and made fresh to order, each drink puts the preparation on display before the first sip.

Beginning August 4, guests can experience Surf Quenchers in four vibrant flavors, including three permanent offerings and one limited-time summer beverage, all available for $4.99* each. Flavors include:

• Mango Break: Playa immune-boosting mango base, sweet and seasonally sourced natural mango puree, organic agave, and 100% pure lemon juice shaken with ice and water come together for a beachy, tropical drink.
• Watermelon Swell: Playa nutrient-dense Pitaya® base meets natural watermelon and strawberry purees mixed with 100% pure lemon juice, organic agave, and shaken with ice and water for a vibrant pink refresher bursting with juicy, refreshing summer flavor.
• Acai Splash: Playa Bowls' famous Acai® base, organic agave, 100% pure not-from-concentrate lemon juice, and seasonally sourced natural strawberry puree shaken with ice and water.
• Yuzu Tide: Available for a limited time, Playa's insanely refreshing Japanese citrus Yuzu base gets even brighter with 100% pure lemon juice to pair with organic agave, natural watermelon puree, and antioxidant-rich blue spirulina shaken into a citrusy, ocean-blue experience.

"Refreshers have been growing in popularity, but many are high in calories and have little nutritional or functional benefits," said Danielle DeAngelo, director of research and development for Playa Bowls. "We wanted to stand out by serving a line of refreshers that let the ingredients naturally speak for themselves, are delicious, visually stunning, and deliver better-for-you benefits with each sip."

To celebrate the launch, guests can receive a free Surf Quencher with the purchase of any bowl from August 10-16. The offer is valid in shops, online and through the Playa Bowls app for all Playa Rewards® members.
