Drinks / Foods / Travel Advisory Smooth Move Kid
Posted by Nicki Wood on Mon, Sep 28, 2009 at 9:05 AM
Our continued quest for bikeable snack destinations continued with a trip to Smoothie King. We're not exactly regulars there--it's hard to figure where a smoothie fits into our diets. A smoothie isn't enough for a meal, but it's a lot of calories to add to three meals. So it's an occasional treat.
The other smoothie-related issue is that the Wood youth have a problem with pseudo-healthy snacks, such as muffins and yogurt, sliding down the slippery slope toward junk, such as cupcakes and pudding. Like when a muffin is enormous, chocolate and has a glaze--that's a cupcake. Or when the yogurt is Boston Creme Pie flavored and has sprinkles--that's pudding.
So the youth decided from among the many options that a banana smoothie made with ice cream was a good choice. And, oh wait, that's a milkshake. It happened again, with me standing right there!

We have over 40 different smoothies on our menu that when orderd 'skinny' in a 20 oz cup have less than 300 calories.
An example is an Angel Food Smoothie, our most popular smoothie, made skinny in a 20 oz cup has no fat and less than 255 calories. Compare that to a normal qsr lunch consisting of a soda, cheese burger and fries at 1210 calories and 44g of fat.
Our smoothies are just as filling and a heck of a lot better for you.
