I really didn't want to write this review--because even though Planet Smoothie is a chain, they don't seem to advertise much, so I consider it a bit of a hidden gem. Every time I go, it's never packed, and I'm perfectly fine with that. But the reality is... this place has it going on.
The competitor--yeah, you know the "king" I'm talking about--fails in comparison to Planet Smoothie. I first tried them years ago at Stonecrest Mall, but I was thrilled when I found this location closer to me. It's conveniently located in the Publix shopping center with plenty of parking. Perfect for a quick walk-in, or if you're like me and love racking up points, you can order ahead on the app for easy pickup.
I especially love their bowls--like the PB & the Bee with peanut butter, blueberries, bananas, granola, honey, and your choice of açaí or dragon fruit base. I personally prefer the dragon fruit, but don't knock either until you try them. And yes, I always add extra peanut butter... don't judge me.
The staff is always friendly, mostly younger, and they've never missed on my order. I've also tried one of their fan-favorite smoothies, the Peanut Butter Power Up--peanut butter, bananas, whole grain oats, chia seeds, and frozen yogurt. Delicious and filling every time.
Pricing is fair for the quality: smoothies start at $7.49 for a 20 oz, and bowls are $14.99--well worth it for how fresh and satisfying they are.
It's hard to believe Planet Smoothie turned 30 as of August 2025, but I hope they're around for another 30 years. This spot has quickly become one of my favorite smoothie places, offering way more variety than just a few standard options. And the customization choices? Surprisingly affordable and impressively expansive.
I've said enough. Now you just need to go try it! read more
