Functional Bodega
Think corner store, but built for living well. Smoothies, coffee and snacks alongside products for better sleep, gut health, energy, hydration and everyday health.
On the menu.
How a smoothie is built matters.
At FRANK., our smoothies combine culinary knowledge with health science. Each recipe is formulated with ingredients selected for how they work together and what they contribute nutritionally and functionally.
Every smoothie starts with a functional base of hydrolyzed collagen peptides and cultured coconut kefir with live cultures. From there, whole foods, proteins and functional ingredients are combined according to the purpose of each recipe.
Our smoothies are designed as complete formulations. Function isn’t an add-on. It’s built into the recipe.
How coffee is brewed matters.
Coffee naturally contains diterpenes, including cafestol, which research has linked to increased LDL cholesterol. Brewing methods without paper filtration — including traditional espresso — allow more of these coffee oils into the cup.
At FRANK., we brew through unbleached paper filters, including our AeroPress espresso-style coffee. Paper filtration captures much of these oils, while choosing unbleached paper eliminates an unnecessary bleaching step in the filter’s production.
The result is a rich, full-bodied coffee made with a process we’ve considered from bean to cup.
But make it functional.
Most soft serve is made from premixed powders with stabilizers, emulsifiers and binders. FRANK. soft serve is built differently, using Greek yogurt, whole fats, collagen peptides and cultured ingredients with pre- and probiotics. It’s a source of protein and calcium, while collagen peptides provide amino acids used throughout the body, including in skin, bones and connective tissue. It’s soft serve, formulated with function in mind.
