Passengers won’t have to look far for healthy and unique cuisine the next time they fly from John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport. Today will mark the opening of locally owned and operated, The Green Smoothie Bar (GSB) at Hamilton International.

The Green Smoothie Bar is located post-security in the Airport’s Departure Lounge, offering passengers an extensive selection of organic, vegan foods that are geared toward optimal health and wellness.

For GSB, smoothies are the perfect way to pack a cup with a multitude of powerful foods and nutrients in a delicious way. In addition to smoothies, The Green Smoothie Bar’s growing menu includes chef-prepared food items such as energy bars, collard wraps and kale chips.

“We’re excited to welcome The Green Smoothie Bar to Hamilton International; this partnership will add value for our passengers by providing another food and beverage option that is complementary to the offerings already available,” said Lauren Yaksich, Manager, Marketing and Communications, John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport. “The Green Smoothie Bar will offer passengers pre-packaged items that are ideal for travel and perfect for any time of the day.”

“It’s our mandate to make healthy living easy for the people in our community,” said Joe Accardi, owner of the The Green Smoothie Bar. “We’re excited to expand that opportunity by providing an organic alternative to passengers flying from Hamilton International, so now both people departing from and arriving to our city are able to experience a little taste of Hamilton from the Airport.”

The Green Smoothie Bar is open post-security from April-October, excluding 7 AM departures. More information will be released on hours of operation during the 2013/2014 Winter Season as it becomes available.
