Problem
It's just hard to find
authentic, high-quality beverages in stores
Unfortunately, most brands on the shelf are 'fillers'—they have substandard ingredients, added sugars, preservatives, artificial flavoring, and are non-organic. They are heavily driven by profit only, and aren't looking to provide any type of quality or nutrition to consumers.
When it comes to organic, creamy and filling smoothies, paying top dollar at a smoothie bar is the only way for consumers to find pure and nutritious products.
Consumers are demanding higher quality products
at an affordable price point. Genius is on this mission to provide both, and 'Bring Nutrition to the Mainstream.'
We are here to 'disrupt' the shelf—with better-for-you, organic, plant-based products.

Impact
Partnerships for fair trade & sustainability
We work with a strategic partner in Thailand who sources and provides us fresh young thai coconut water and coconut meat. Our supply partner is also certified 'Fair For Life' meaning they uphold the HIGHEST standards of being.
In addition, our supply partners also upcycle coconut husks. Once the coconut water and coconut meat is extracted, the husks are repurposed for other uses—such as alternative energy, furniture, and coconut charcoal for cleansing supplements sold in stores.
