Did Smoothie King end the $5 Friday promotion?
Sadly, Smoothie King ended their $5 Friday promo in 2019. This promo allowed customers to enjoy any smoothie and pay only $5 when they placed an order on a Friday.
This was one of best promos that Smoothie King put out since it was a simple way to save at least 16% on a morning smoothie. I was disappointed when this discontinued it, but hold hope that it could return some day.
What is the $4 after 4 pm promotion Smoothie King?
For a limited time in 2022, Smoothie King had a $4 after 4 PM promo where Healthy Rewards members can get 20 oz of either Angel Food or Angel Food Slim and pay only $4 if they order after 4 PM.
This Smoothie King promo was a popular one with lots of their loyal customers getting right on time to order the Angel Food or Angel Food Slim smoothie after school and work. Sadly, the same with the $5 Friday promotion, the $4 after 4 PM was also discontinued in 2022.
No need to frown though because Smoothie King offers a lot of different promos all year round (many of which I’ve mentioned above).
Does Smoothie King use real fruit? Do they use organic fruit?
Yes, Smoothie King uses real organic fruit in some of their smoothies. They have a line of smoothies called “Clean Blends” that are made with 100% organic fruits and vegetables for an up charge. These smoothies are also free of artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives.
However, not all of Smoothie King’s smoothies are made with organic fruit. Some of their smoothies use conventionally grown fruits, which means that they may have been treated with pesticides or herbicides.
If you are looking for a smoothie that is made with organic fruit, you can look for the “Clean Blends” label on the menu. You can also ask your Smoothie King barista if they can make your smoothie with organic fruit.
Real fruit? Smoothie King uses a blend of whole fruits, fruit purees, and fruit juices. However, the exact ingredients can vary depending on the specific smoothie. You can learn more about Smoothie Kings official response to these questions here. According to the post, the smoothies are 100% non-GMO fruits and veggies that don’t have trans-fat, hydrogen oils, gluten, or hormones. They also don’t have added sugars, syrups, sweeteners, and flavors. All you’re going to taste is real fruit flavor, plain and simple.
As a health junkie like me, when I learned about Smoothie King and its offering of delicious, healthy drinks, I just had to check and do my research on whether they’re actually using real, organic fruit for their smoothies.
Does Smoothie King use rotten fruit?
No, Smoothie King does not use rotten fruit. As a business that emphasizes health and nutrition, it would be against their interest and standards to use rotten fruit in their smoothies.
The rotten fruit concern likely stems from social media posts and AMA’s on Reddit like this one that claim to be from former employees. In this example, the user claims they were instructed by the owner of the shop to use bananas that had turned brown and include in smoothies that were sold to customers. The user also makes claims that the only fresh fruit used was bananas. I will add an editorial note that I wouldn’t put too much faith in this users claims based on their username.
Smoothie King makes it clear on their website and marketing materials that they use fresh, high-quality ingredients in their smoothies, including real fruits. However, if you ever have concerns about the quality of the ingredients in your smoothie, you should bring it to the attention of the staff at the store or contact Smoothie King’s customer service.
What are the size differences at Smoothie King?
At Smoothie King, you can get up to a 40 oz drink or a 20 oz drink depending on how much you can take in. Personally, I like getting the 32 oz because it is the right size for me, not too much and definitely not too little if I am craving a cool, tasty drink.
Here are the size differences If you’re wondering about Smoothing King’s beverage sizes.
12 oz (Kids Size): This is a smoothie size designed for kids and are priced under $5 for most flavor options.
20 oz (Small): This is the smallest size available and is often more than enough to serve as a snack or a supplement to a small meal.
32 oz (Medium): This is the middle size available, and it’s often big enough to serve as a meal replacement.
40 oz (Large): This is the largest size available. It’s quite large and could definitely serve as a meal replacement or be shared between two people.
Are Smoothie King smoothies really healthy?
For a franchise that prides itself as a healthy lifestyle brand with a mission to “inspire people to live a healthy and active lifestyle”, understandably, people expect Smoothie King to be what they tell people to be – a brand that offers healthy and nutritious smoothies for people to enjoy.
Before I explain more about the truth behind Smoothie King’s claim, I would like to say this first, whether Smoothie King’s smoothies are healthy or not depends on several factors:
Ingredients: Smoothie King uses a variety of ingredients in their smoothies, including fruits, vegetables, protein powders, vitamins, and other supplements. Many of these ingredients have nutritional benefits.
Nutrient Balance: Some of their smoothies are high in protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals, which are important for a balanced diet.

Caloric Content: However, some Smoothie King smoothies can be high in calories and sugar. For example, a large smoothie can have 800 or more calories and significant amounts of sugar. Consuming too many calories or too much sugar can contribute to weight gain and other health problems.
Add-Ons: Smoothie King offers add-ons like protein powder, vitamins, and other supplements. While these can provide additional nutrients, they also can increase the caloric content of the smoothie.
In conclusion, Smoothie King smoothies can be part of a healthy diet if they’re consumed in moderation and as part of a balanced diet. It’s important to be aware of the nutritional content of the smoothie you choose, including calories and sugar, and to consider how it fits into your overall dietary needs and goals.
Now, given all this, there are some articles online that rebut the claim of Smoothie King. Given that this article was written a decade ago, I will be transparent. According to the author, she visited a Smoothie King store to order a 40-ounce blueberry smoothie “with no sugar”. To her horror, aside from the fact that the cashier smirked at her remark about adding no sugar, she actually saw how the “nutritious” blueberry smoothie was made.
First of all, there was no actual blueberry in sight. And instead, she saw this blueberry juice blend being added before getting a semifrozen banana from the fridge. Next up, an “unknown clear liquid” was added which she assumed was sugar syrup.
Right before her eyes, she saw the staff blend all those ingredients together. Needless to say, the reviewer was extremely disappointed and cautioned people to just buy and eat their fruits and veggies at home where they are more assured of the quality they are getting.
Can Smoothie King serve as a meal replacement?
Smoothie King also offers “Meal Replacement” smoothies that are specifically designed to provide a balance of nutrients that one would typically get from a meal. These smoothies often contain high-quality proteins, essential micronutrients, and fiber to help you feel fuller longer. However, it’s important to consider a few things:
Total Nutrient Intake: While a smoothie can replace a meal in terms of caloric content, it may not provide all the variety of nutrients that a full, balanced meal would provide. Solid foods often contain higher amounts of fiber and can provide a more diverse range of vitamins and minerals.
Sugar Content: Some smoothies can be high in sugar, even if it’s natural sugar from fruits. Consuming too much sugar can lead to health problems like obesity and diabetes.
Satiety: Liquid meals may not be as satisfying as solid food meals, which could lead to overeating later in the day.
Caloric Content: Some smoothies, especially those with additional boosts or larger sizes, can be high in calories. Consuming more calories than your body uses can lead to weight gain.
Therefore, while Smoothie King’s smoothies can be used occasionally as a meal replacement, they shouldn’t replace all meals in a diet. And as always, it’s important to consider your individual nutritional needs and to consult a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian if you’re thinking about making major changes to your diet.
Smoothie King is a privately owned, Dallas-area-based smoothie franchise company. The concept was a pioneer in the smoothie industry being founded in 1973 in Kenner, Louisiana by Steve Kuhnau, who was trying to find a solution to his health problems and came up with the idea of a nutritional smoothie. Smoothie King has been influential in popularizing the smoothie trend continues going strong to this day.
The company’s product offerings include a variety of blended fruit-based smoothies, incorporating additional nutritional supplements and elements such as protein powders, vitamins, and herbs to meet specific dietary and health goals. The menu often includes options for fitness enhancement, weight loss, or simply as a healthy snack or meal replacement. Over the years, Smoothie King has expanded its menu to include more than just smoothies, with items like healthful snacks, bowls, and supplements.
