    Large 24oz smoothie
    Matthew W.

    Smoothies good, give you a lot. Food is what you expect from a smoothie place, small portions, overpriced, does not look like the posters outside in the slightest. Worst decision was to get the bbq quesadilla where they combined pineapple, bbq sauce, pulled pork, jalapeño, and lime. Interesting decision but its their summer special.

    SUPER YUMMY SMOOTHIE!! :D Such a dumb location though... can't pull up/drive to it, & since Shadow Lake is DYING, the likelihood you'll walk by it is so slim. It's kinda tucked deep into the weird dead little walking path. I remember trying to find it months ago & giving up bc GPS dropped me off in the round-a-bout: "YOU HAVE ARRIVED!" ..."Uuuh, NO i haven't, GOOGLE!!" I figured it was closed. TROPICAL SMOOTHIE you guys should request to move into a more visible/accessible ShadowLake store front; there's plenty to choose from!!

    I think I found a new favorite place!

    This place can thank Vegan Omaha for including it on the list of places with vegan eats! My friend and I were in Papillion and wanted to try something we never had before. When we saw that this place could substitute Beyond Meat in the wraps, we were intrigued! I believe the owners were working the counter and kitchen. Very friendly and customer focused. Thanked us for coming in and what not, the kinds of things that make you feel like they value your business. My friend and I split the Thai not-chicken and Jamaican jerk not-chicken wraps. The Thai had a peanut sauce that I really enjoyed. The Jamaican jerk tasted like barbecue to me, which for all I know is what jerk tastes like. I also got an Island Green smoothie with kale, spinach, mango, and pineapple. Very big serving, got a good dose of greens from that. I felt justified for the unhealthy debauchery later on in my day because I visited this place and filled up on some good healthy food!

    Tropical Smoothie Cafe is in the Shadowlake Towne Center mall. It's a franchise I believe, but I have not spotted many of them here in Omaha. They serve some simple lunch foods like salads and wraps, and of course, the smoothies. I liked that they had more green options for the smoothies (kale and spinach etc) which sets it apart from places like juice stop, which is also delicious but caters more to the fruity and sweet tastes. The owner is a very nice lady, who I enjoyed talking to. Great place to enjoy a casual lunch and healthy drink.

    Tropical Smoothie is a staple for me at home and on the road. Their food is consistently good and their smoothies always hit the spot.

    Do they still offer Beyond Meat as a substitution?

    I love this Smoothie King!! Gail is so nice and knowledgeable about the different smoothies…read moreavailable and how they can help you. She will ask questions as to what you're looking for in a smoothie and recommend great tasting and supportive smoothies. I've tried the Chocolate Vegan smoothie, the Coffee Activator with peanut butter and the Chocolate Activator with Peanut butter. Those were my go to smoothies when I wanted keep my calories low but increase my protein intake. When I changed the direction of my fitness goals I moved towards the Gladiator smoothies where I would add more ingredients for my nutrition goals. Since COVID I see Gail less but the other associate that works on the weekday mornings is always making me the perfect smoothie. What I also love about this location is that when I order smoothies on the app for pick up my order is ALWAYS ready when it's supposed to be. Somehow he manages to make app orders on time while making in person orders at the same time. It is so convenient to pick up a smoothie after my Orangetheory workouts and know that I'm getting great nutrients, protein, and deliciousness as I recover from my workout.

I got the XL Banana Boat and the PB delight the Banana shake was very flavorful with lots of Banana taste and it was nice and cold on a hot day. The service was good they were busy with only 2 employees. They were helpful and fast. Some seating to wait for your order but over all a nice place.

    i have been loving going to this Smoothie King recently!! I…read morehad only been to Smoothie king a couple of times but in the last few weeks I've pretty much been addicted! The mango kale smoothie in particular is one of my all time favorites. Once in awhile I'll mix it up and add passion fruit or I'll get the Vegan Chocolate and add peanut butter to it or change the protien to just a vanilla protein. It's delicious! I usually love to go when one of the owners is there. She's friendly and helpful! She told me we can even go in tell them what you are feeling like having or how we are feeling healthwise and they can tailor the smoothie to you! I love that they can go beyond what's on the menu to satisfy what the customer wants or even what they don't really know what they want! This location is great because it's not too far from where I live and it's near a bunch of other places as well! I also love that they are able to fill my 32oz mason jar as well! I try to reduce my waste so I bring my own jar which I think is right up Smoothie King's alley with going towards cleaner ingredients!! I have even taken one of their take out menus with me so I can read up on what other drinks they have and how I can mix things up sometimes. Even you have yet to jump on the smoothie king train I highly suggest that you do! And when you do also download the smoothie king app so they can scan your QR code so you can rack up the points, get coupons, and eventually a free smoothie!

Although the sign in the front as well as online said that they were open till 9pm. If the signs are incorrect they need to be updated. The door was also unlocked, if they were closed shouldn't they lock the doors for safety reasons.... Very unprofessional!

The ladies did…read morenot know and could not point me to anything that showed the nutritional value of any of the shakes. Even when I was like what will have the most protein and carbs, or like what Herbalife powder is in it I'll look it up myself, they acted like I was being annoying. Nutrition is in the name - idk just won't be back. Smoothie ended up having Herbalife vanilla protein powder. Has a slight chalky aftertaste but is satisfying and priced about what I'd expect - $15 for a large. In response to the owner- She was looking at her phone, but I only got a bunch of umms and protein values for one size of a different drink. I pulled out my phone to show them my fitness pal thinking maybe that would help as a different type of communication and at the end of the day never got the information on protein and carbs in the drink I ordered, and again, they seemed genuinely annoyed and disinterested. If you have sound for the video maybe give it another look. It was so awkward.

The flavors are supposed to mimic the Sonic flavors, but they're kinda bland/flat. I was really looking forward to the coconut flavor of the ocean water, but it wasn't strongly present; neither was the blue raspberry flavor. The cherry limeade presented both cherry and lime flavors, but they were weak/watery, and left a chemically taste in the mouth afterward. Both drinks had the overly strong taste and mouthfeel of artificial sweetener, with that bitter flavor at the end, too. I think the fizz is produced by chemical reaction rather than actual carbonated water, though, because the ocean water wasn't very fizzy and the drink was chalky, just like the magnesium powder you can add to regular water does. It tasted like that, too, in fact--more like the citrus flavor of a magnesium citrate supplement drink mix than the coconut-blue raspberry of a Sonic ocean water. The peanut butter protein balls were pretty good for a mid-day snack, though: you can taste the protein powder, peanut butter, and honey. Not bad. The mini Reese's Pieces were a little treat on top. I might be back to try the shakes, but I wasn't blown away by my first meeting with Nutrition 402.
