Smoothie King, around since the 70s in the US, was developed to provide healthy smoothies that do not taste bad.
After trying the usual citrus smoothies, I decided to try the Almond Banana Smoothie ($6.90) recently which comes with 13 grams of protein. I must say that it was not too heavy and had a good balance flavour to it. The shakes here could be a meal replacement by itself perhaps.
I’m not sure about you, but sometimes I will have the occasional smoothie craving especially when the weather’s really hot. Good news for those like me - here I’ll be introducing Smoothie King’s 500-calorie combo meal offers ($9.90) made with wraps or salad, and fruit/veggie smoothies!
I had the chance to try it out at the 313 Somerset branch for dinner, and it was really a refreshing and healthy change compared to the usual dinner or even lunches of mixed rice, majority of meat, and very little greens/fruits. I ordered the Spicy Chicken wrap, and it was substantial enough to fill me up. The chicken was not marinated or oily on its own, but instead relies on the chili sauce to give it a flavor boost. I enjoyed the crunch in my lettuce as well!
To go with the wrap, you get to choose between 5 smoothies - Gladiator Pineapple Mango, Slim N’ Trim Strawberry, Apple Kiwi Kale, Berry Beautiful or Angel Food aka Strawberry Banana. (For more details on the nutritional info of each of the smoothie, click on the link of the smoothie names.)
My favorite smoothie was Angel Food, only because it was in such a delightful shade of pink and I liked the combined taste of banana and strawberry! Otherwise, I would recommend the Apple Kiwi Kale, my next favorite. The good thing about the smoothies is that they are not overly sweet, and I could taste the fruits inside quite distinctively. The ice blended formula is also very welcome for our warm climate (and personally for me, to douse the fire ignited by the Spicy Chicken wrap!)
