Granita Powders

Compare Simply fruit flavours and pack sizes

Choose from five Simply flavours for your frozen-drink menu. The range includes lemon, lime, peach, strawberry and watermelon, but the packs are not all the same size. Check the product you select rather than assuming one bag weight applies across the category.

Citrus options: lemon and lime

Compare lemon and lime when choosing a citrus flavour for your menu. Lemon is listed in a 600g pack, while lime comes in a 1.25kg pack. These are separate products, not different sizes of the same flavour, so check each bag’s preparation instructions.

Peach, strawberry and watermelon options

For a strawberry granita, choose the strawberry 600g product; peach is also listed in 600g. Watermelon comes in 1.25kg. Start with an unmodified test serving to assess the chosen flavour before developing combinations or adding other ingredients.

Preparing a granita mix

These are powdered mixes for preparing frozen drinks, not ready-to-drink beverages. Several product listings describe mixing with water and ice. Follow the current pack’s method for the exact flavour and use equipment suitable for that preparation.

Measure each ingredient consistently

Weigh the powder and measure the water and ice as directed. Do not substitute a scoop of unknown capacity for a gram measurement. When scaling a recipe, keep its proportions consistent and record your batch quantities so another team member can repeat the same preparation.

Check your equipment before use

If a method calls for blending ice, use an appliance designed for that task and follow its operating instructions. Do not assume every granita mix is suitable for a slush machine. Confirm the product’s suitability, dilution and machine requirements before filling a commercial unit.

Trial texture and serving size

Check the finished consistency and cup fill using the full recipe, including any optional additions. Extra water or melting ice can dilute a drink. Review the measured ingredients and equipment method before changing the recipe; avoid repeatedly adding powder without measuring.

Powder is not a liquid concentrate

A dry granita mix and a bottled syrup are different formats. Do not apply a syrup’s dilution ratio to a powder or swap them gram-for-millilitre. Check whether the recipe specifies dry weight, liquid volume or a prepared mixture before measuring. Keep the product name and flavour with your recipe notes so staff can identify the correct bag when making a repeat order or preparing a batch.

Plan a manageable trial batch

Start with the smallest batch permitted by the product method and your equipment’s operating limits. Compare the finished amount with your chosen cup size before planning larger quantities. Record the flavour, powder weight, water, ice and serving size together. If changing from lemon to strawberry granita, check the new pack’s instructions rather than assuming the same settings and proportions apply.

Plan portions from the powder weight

A 600g pack and a 1.25kg pack contain different amounts of dry mix, not a guaranteed volume of finished drinks. Divide the pack weight in grams by the powder dose specified for your serving to estimate portions, then allow for your own preparation losses.

Cafés, dessert counters and ice cream shops can use a trial batch to plan their menu portions. Cup size, ice and any extras affect the finished serving, so compare the complete recipe rather than bag weight alone.

Read the ingredient and allergen information

Check the current pack for ingredients and dietary suitability for each flavour. Do not infer the presence of fruit juice or a gluten-free claim from the product name alone. Any added fruit, syrup or other ingredient also needs to be considered when describing the finished drink to customers.

Store dry mix with care

Keep powder in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight, moisture and strong odours. Follow the label’s sealing instructions and best-before date. Use clean, dry utensils and keep water splashes out of opened packs.

Compare other drink formats

For a different menu option, browse frappe mixes or milkshake mixes. Their preparation requirements differ, so do not transfer a milk-based or blended-ice recipe without checking the chosen product. See delivery information for current services and destination restrictions.
