NATICK - First came Flutie Flakes, now Natick's native son has added sorbet to his menu. Ben & Jerry's and the retired quarterback are paying homage to Boston College history with the Doug Flutie Hail Mary Berry Fat Free Smoothie.
The concoction combines raspberry and blueberry sorbet with raspberries, blueberries and strawberries. The smoothie will be offered at the Natick Ben & Jerry's on Rte. 9, as well as Newbury Street, Prudential Center, Park Plaza Hotel and Harvard Square stores.
For every smoothie sold, $1 will be donated to The Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism.
“Having a young son of my own, I know how widespread autism has become and felt it was important for our stores to get involved to help support families affected,” Jason Sweeney, owner of Ben & Jerry’s Boston locations, said in a press release. “Our Ben & Jerry’s stores are proud to support a wonderful cause like the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism and encourage our customers to help out as well by enjoying our new smoothie.”
