The Operators & Operations behind Smoothe Operator:

Smoothe Operator was dreamed up by two peas-in-a-pod: graphic designer, Natasha Oliver,Holistic Nutritionist & Wellness Consultant, Erin Saccomano. We not only share an obsession for healthy, wholesome food, but, even more, share a deep desire for sustainability and wanting to create & aid in positive change throughout local communities.

It is the vision of Smoothe Operator to quench the thirst of our customers and the environment through healthy, wholesome smoothies and juices. These are made with locally sourced, seasonally available ingredients, created using the most environmentally conscious and sustainable means possible.  

What makes us so Smoothe:

Smoothe Operator was created on the roots of passion for the advocacy of sustainable healthy food options. With the health of our nation and our communities falling at a rapid rate, a shift in our current food system is not only necessary, but imperative. It is our vision to make healthy food fun for local communities and their tastebuds. It is our belief that by leveraging relationships with local farmers, community gardens and advocating the “grow your own” movement, we can service the needs of Smoothe Operator as a business entity, as well as meet, and exceed the health needs of our customers and communities. We will make this possible by:
 
  • Primarily sourcing seasonal, locally grown, organic produce from local farmers to make the most delicious smoothies & juices.
  • Fuelling our truck with old vegetable-oil, or deep-fryer oil from local restaurants, otherwise known as bio-diesel.
  • Operating our on-truck appliances, including our blenders, juicers & refrigerators using Solar Power.
  • Reconnecting people with their food by offering a blend-your-own-smoothie discount by using one of our super-cool bike-powered-blenders. (Trust us, this is a real thing.)
  • Fostering a sense of community through our incentive to grow-your-own-garden and we will blend the crap out of it. (Ok, maybe not the crap, but definitely all the good stuff!)
  • Implementing a no-waste policy: returning all pulp & scraps back to the soil, as well as serving up our delicious concoctions in fully biodegradable and/or reusable containers.
  • Supporting local businesses by carrying independent, third-party snacks & treats to “pear” with your drink.

Other Ways You Can Help

Smoothe Operators work better while traveling in pears, or, better yet, bunches ! Help us spread the good-word by sharing our campaign with your social networks. You can do this by:

  • Posting our campaign link to all of your social networking sites. Including, but not limited to: your facebook/twitter/blog/pinterest/website.
  • Sharing the good news through email/text/live t.v./radio/instant message/smoke signals/morse code.
  • Downloading one of our printable posters and posting the pulp out of it online/offline/on top of a mountain. (Hey, we'll see ya there? We'll be singing your name in thanks.)
  • Checking out the "Help Us, Help Everyone" page on our website for other ways you can get involved with Smoothe Operator all season-long!

What do we need money for?

Our goal is to raise $13,000:

  • $6,000 of that will go towards purchasing the truck and customizing it suit our unique needs.
  • $4,000 will be used to fill the truck with appliances and equipment for day to day operations.
  • $3,000 will pay for the permitting and licensing to get us on the road and into your neighbourhood.

What do you get in return for supporting?
