Smoothie King is easily the best smoothie place that I have been to and I have been to Jamba Juice (have had nearly all of them), Smoothie Planet, Smoothie Factory, Za's, Robek's, etc. All of these places charge a lot for smoothies, but fruit is expensive, so I get it. Just a small thing of blueberries is currently $3-4 at the grocery store.
Ask questions. They have so many smoothies that if you don't like one, you are sure to find another that is spectacular. I work out a lot and don't like a lot of sugar in my smoothie and there are plenty of options for me. I can get a low carb smoothie that has under 5 grams of sugar! I can also ask them to take sugar out of some of the smoothies. Try doing that at the other places. I have. You can't! What's the problem? None!
I have never had a chalky smoothie from them and I love that the employees can answer my questions about what tastes good to them, which ones are good for my workouts, and what the boosters do. Their service has always been great and even when I did get a smoothie that wasn't blended all the way (they were really busy) they remade it right away!
Even the high protein smoothies tasted good and they have never let me down.
As for the type of cups, well they keep the smoothie cold and styrofoam is as recyclable as plastic. I really can't imagine what else they are supposed to use. Sure just pour it in your hands! Pfft.
Great store! I am addicted. Try it! read more
