Smoothie King

Don’t come here if you’re looking for a drink to aid in a cleansing diet because while Smoothie King drinks are packed with various fruits and protein powders (at an extra cost), most of the fruit ingredients are not fresh. There is also a heavy amount of sugar and artificial flavoring that makes the smoothie infinitely more sweet than a freshly blended kale smoothie.
The prices can look a bit steep, but the serving sizes are HUGE and definitely worth the value. A large smoothie is on average almost 900 calories, thus can very comfortably feed 2 people and even replace your entire lunch.
The staff are friendly and the wait is never too long! Overall, I still prefer my fresh fruit smoothies, but if I have a smoothie craving, I know Smoothie King will do the trick.

The good: A clean place with pretty good smoothies. The bad: the guys that work here are bros, like GNC or gym employee bros, with zero personality. it would be a five star place if the prices were reasonable and staff was friendlier.

I drink a smoothie everyday and their smoothies are the worst I’ve ever had. They have a really weird texture to it and it tastes so artificial. So over priced! Tropical Smoothie is way way better!

We made a quick stop here for a mid-​afternoon snack/​meal between brunch and supper. We were impressed with the variety of flavors, ratios of protein, array of enhancers. The girl working knew more about their product than anyone I have ever encountered before working in a similar shop. They also had a decent assortment of protein powders and other work-​out related food products. I had a cherry-​strawberry protein smoothie that was delicious, my husband thought his strawberry-​papaya protein smoothie was quite tasty. Neither tasted overly sweet and both hit the spot to fill the mid-​afternoon void. Prices were reasonable to a bit high, sizes were very generous — you could easily split a medium with someone else for a snack. We would definitely stop at this Smoothie King location again, and wish we had one closer to home!

I’m somewhat torn on my review of smoothie king. On one hand they definitely have very good smoothies. Portions are a good size and the staff is usually very friendly. The reason I’m dropping it to 3 stars comes down to 2 factors which are price and nutritional value. First the prices are some what outrageous. A small is over 5 dollars after taxes. That’s just to much for me to pay on a regular basis for a smoothie. My biggest problem is smoothie king pushes themselves as a health store. If you take a look at their nutritional info which is available at every store they are not as healthy as they would like you to think. Almost all of their smoothies have artificial sweetener. I never understood why you would put artificial sweetener in a smoothie that has fruit. Fruit has enough natural fruit to begin with and adding extra sweeteners just seems stupid to me. Also many of their smoothies are somewhat high in calories and fat. Just make sure you know what you are ordering.
