Smoothie King

It might be a placebo effect (okay, it’s probably a placebo effect), but when I’m sick or coming down with a cold, smoothies and fresh fruit and veggie juices perk me right back up. Smoothie King is more chemical laden and processed than my typical Arden’s Garden or Rawesome Juicery selections, but in a pinch, it does just fine.
I recommend the immune booster smoothie when you’re feeling under the weather, as it comes laden with an extra shot of echinacea to banish sniffles and sore throats.
Ask for your smoothie «skinny» to have the added sugar (fancifully described on the menu as a «turbinado shot») left out. This move will also save you about a hundred calories per drink, making a smoothie here a reasonably healthful indulgence.
The store was manned with only a single staffer when I arrived around 8am, but as I was the only customer, it didn’t inhibit the speed at which my order was taken, drink made, and payment processed (and yes, they handle those steps in that order). All in all, an a-​ok spot to get some frozen, fruity goodness.

I’ve been to this Smoothie King location a handful of times and today was actually my first great experience. My server was nice and even though my smoothie tasted nothing like it’s ‘culinary name’ it was very tasty. I did exempt an ingredient that probably gave it it’s name. My past few experiences were met with ho-​hum service, upon feeling rushed to order. My server this time was informational and willing to answer my questions unlike in the past (dairy or sugar questions) I know, it’s just a smoothie — fruit and ice, but you would be surprised that it’s possible to receive a less than par smoothie. This one was right on :)
