Pret to drop frappes and smoothies for new iced drinks range

Pret has confirmed it will be replacing its frappes and smoothies with an expanded range of iced coffees and teas from April.

The full range will be available in over 90% of shops and included as part of Pret’s Coffee Subscription.

Ahead of the change, Pret is beginning to install ice machines in its UK shops, removing the blenders that were used for frappes and smoothies to make way for them. Smoothies and frappes will continue to be available in select shops until 29 May.

A Pret spokesperson said: “We know that Pret customers are huge fans of iced coffees and drinks, so over the next few months we’ll be increasing their availability across more Pret locations with new ice machines installed across our shops.

“We will also be replacing our current range of frappes and smoothies from April, and bringing in a bigger range of iced drinks to choose from.

“Once the changes are complete, iced drinks will be available in over 90% of Pret shops, so that even more of our customers can enjoy our full range of barista-prepared drinks.”
