Question:
How can I turn my smoothies, juicing and maybe some plant based diet meals into a business? What food safety course should I take to do this?
— Maria Miller
Answer:
Alright, so s um, that's great if you wanna turn this, uh, smoothie and juicing into a a business, there are a lot of different smoothie companies out there, um, that do it where you can just order it by the individual smoothie and like a restaurant style or there are also, um, you know, kind of supplement smoothies that you can buy to be able to put into smoothies and there are some that you can actually just buy at the grocery store, um, that are smoothies and you have to like shake 'em up and they're very like, you have to consume them within a certain amount of days from the grocery store to be able to make sure that you're getting your nutrients out of them. And as far as food safety courses, um, we offer, we're going to start offering one at Rouxbe pretty soon here, so you might wanna hold on to that unless you're like looking to do this right away. But there are some great food safety courses we're working on right now that should, that have launched for the commercial sector but not for the, the um, you know, the consumer um, at the moment. So, uh, you might wanna hold off and you know, or might wanna hold off to be able to see that course. Otherwise there's a lot of different food safety courses that you can go in the commercial area right now. Um, but I would recommend the Rouxbe one. I've seen it firsthand, it works really well. I've been in a lot. Um, so I would probably, um, take that one and recommend that one. Uh, when it comes out. I won't keep you updated on one that comes out as well. Um, as far as turning it into a business, there are a lot of different things you can do, um, and you know, that's creating a whole business plan and you know, there's a lot of different steps to be able to making that happen. Um, but you know, there are a lot of ways to be able to make smoothie and juicing just like I said, you could do it from the grocery store from a restaurant style or uh, just, you know, direct consumer as well. Um, so a lot of different things to be able to pursue on the business side of smoothies and juicing.
