DALLAS, June 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Paciugo Gelato Caffe, the Dallas-based specialty brand best known for its authentic Italian gelato, is giving Smoothie lovers some flavorful choices, as it boldly creates high quality, fresh and natural sorbet-inspired creations as only Paciugo can.

Paciugo has announced three delicious Smoothie creations, perfect for summertime. Mango Passion Fruit, Strawberry Banana and Wildberries, will be featured through Sunday, July 13. The Smoothies are available in 12-oz, 16-oz and 20-oz sizes and range between $3.79 and $5.79.

The secret to Paciugo Smoothies is in their real fruit sorbet, which is handcrafted daily at every shop, using fresh fruits of the highest quality, from around the world. These unique frozen beverages are traditional Smoothies, blended with delicious sorbet and real fruit.

"Our Real Fruit Smoothies are handcrafted with fruits that we simply obsess over. We always stay true to our culinary roots and heritage of the Paciugo brand but we also challenge ourselves to expand our offerings. The result is a wide variety of incredibly delicious, unique, sorbet inspired fruit Smoothies that you'll only find at Paciugo."

With nearly 400 recipes in its portfolio, 44 Paciugo Gelato Caffe locations in 16 states each serve an assortment of 32- 40 gelato and sorbet flavors, made fresh daily at all gelato Caffes. This means Paciugo's Smoothies can be served as any number of flavors.
