Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Date Smoothie After Dragons’ Den?
Date Smoothie appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2018, Series 15 Episode 11. The business was a smoothie with a side of nuts and seeds. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Dr Asif Munaf walked into the Den in 2018 with a smoothie with a side of nuts and seeds. They were asking for £50,000 in exchange for 10% of the business.
Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.
The Deal
No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Dr Asif Munaf left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Date Smoothie is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2018, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.
Is Date Smoothie Still in Business?
Yes. Date Smoothie appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
