Smoothie King

Oh, smoothie king. Why did you put speed bumps in?! As someone who drives a lowered car, it really was a bummer to see giant speed bumps when I pulled in! Anyways, $ 5 medium smoothies on monday is awesome. I like the Light & Fluffy + extra banana, the Strawberry Activator, strawberry Shredder, or the blueberry with greek yogurt banana. They’re fast and friendly. I just wish they had better weekend hours.

Not at all what I was hoping for. They ran out of soy protein, but weren’t going to tell us until I asked if we could have the drink without it. They didn’t come close to filling the drink up to the lid. I ordered a large and it might as well have been a medium. It was difficult to drink in the beginning and the end. In the beginning it was too frozen, and in the end there were some large pieces of fruit that weren’t blended enough and were getting stuck in the straw. It was definitely overpriced. And it was not a great smoothie. Pretty disappointed because I really wanted a good smoothie on a hot summer day.

I had to take a double take when looking at the prices of a large smoothie. It was over $ 7. What is going on here? Is there gold in this smoothie?
Seriously though, regardless of price, this smoothie was not good. It had horrible consistency and I had to add water to make it somewhat drinkable. I shared this with my husband and we were soooooo thirsty and a bad smoothie was not what we wanted!

I’ve become somewhat addicted to the green Vegan Mango smoothies. I am in the Atlanta area for the week and have become enamored with this location. Very warm, friendly, welcoming staff and they know all about what’s good for you. If you don’t know what you want, you can tell them what you DON’T want and they’ll find something perfect for you. The 32 oz. $ 5 on Mondays at this location, so I found myself here… twice in one day :-) yesterday.

If the hours posted on your door state 7AM to 9PM, you should be open at 7:15AM. The first time I went to this place was at 7:15AM a few weeks ago. It was closed. Not sure why, but it was dark inside and no one was stirring. The second time I went by (same time, different day) it was open. The workers were nice and very pleasant. The service was fast and I was in and out quickly. The smoothie was good (apple, kale, kiwi with a caffeine pack).

I love the taste of a smoothie. All of your favorite fruits blended together with just enough ice to make it thick and cold and also allowing the natural sweetness and flavor of the fruits to still dominate. Yeah, smoothies are great.
Smoothie King on the other hand tried really hard but fell short. They added enough fruit to make sure it remained a fruit smoothie, but added so much ice and water that all I got when I sucked on the straw was brain freeze. Plus it didn’t help that I asked them to pass on adding additional sugar, I didn’t think I needed the additional sweetness. To me, that’s like bringing sand to the beach.

When I was younger, my second job was working at this Smoothie King. I am unsure if the owner is the same but I have fond memories of the shenanigans that come with peeling 10 dozen bananas and living on odd mixtures of trail mix!
Smoothie King makes every smoothie fresh and made to order. Pineapple, strawberries, bananas and blue berries. I could drink one every day!
Not to brag, but I was the dancing banana that used to sing and shake my peel up and down George Busbee! I made one hell of a sexy dancing banana, I’m just sayin! I wore the obnoxiously bright yellow banana that stood 2 feet above my head and 3 feet out like a swoop around my knees. Not only would I dry hump cars but I’d charge $ 1.00 to rub on me. Hey, no judgements, minimum wage was low when I was a kid!
Even today, when I go in to get a smoothie, I worry I’ll be outed! I wear my darkest sunglasses and try not to make eye contact in fear they’ll see right through me. That crazy blonde oddly looking through the loaf breads used to dry hump my Honda!
