Cristina Mazzucchelli: 10:52am Oct 27, 2005: it really depends...do you have any context? -
Angela Arnone: 10:57am Oct 27, 2005: It's served in a "mangia e bevi" dish/bowl/glass!!! - Sorry no context - I've written to the customer. Where I live a "mangia e bevi" is a mega ice-cream and fruit concoction that replaces a meal! In my day they were called Ice Cream Sundaes!!!
Angela Arnone: 12:31pm Oct 27, 2005: Thanks for your suggestions! - The client was happy with "sundae" - see this link http://www.purityicecream.com/sundae.htm!

mangia e bevi "Drink your Fruit"

Explanation:
I agree witrh Daniela as far as the definition of "Mangia e Bevi" is concerned, but I have never seen "Combo" related to something to drink.

I would translate it, depending to the context, with either "fruit and juice/drink" or "fruit and ice-cream"...

or maybe "Drink your Fruit"???? :-)
Just a suggestion, though!
