Have you stopped by your local Smoothie King and tried their new menu yet?
Smoothie King, the world's leading smoothie brand, has announced expanding into food with the nationwide debut of its first-ever food menu.
The new "Power Eats" menu marks a significant milestone in the brand's 50-year history as it explores ways to complement its celebrated lineup of nutritious and delicious smoothies with fresh, wholesome food options.
The "Power Eats" menu is designed to pair with and complement smoothies. It features high-protein, flavorful options with premium ingredients.
I recently went to a Smoothie King's taste-testing event, and here is what the new Power Eats Menu includes and my thoughts about each item:
Hearty 8 Grain Loaded Avocado Toast
100% avocado spread over toasted 8-grain bread and topped with everything seasoning (9g protein)
My Thoughts: I can tell that it is made with real avocado, and the flavor is savory, with the everything seasoning you find on bagels.
Hearty 8 Grain Loaded Chocolate Hazelnut Toast
Chocolate hazelnut spread over toasted 8-grain bread, with fresh blueberries and strawberries, then topped with Purely Elizabeth granola (11g protein)
My Thoughts: Smoothie King uses premium-brand granola, which you can find in stores like Whole Foods and Sprouts. I'm not a big fan of hazelnuts, but the toast is tasty and has a mellow chocolate taste. Also, eating this toast can get messy.
Hearty 8 Grain Loaded Peanut Butter Toast
All-natural peanut butter spread over toasted 8-grain bread, topped with fresh blueberries, strawberries, and bananas, with a drizzle of honey (13g protein)
My Thoughts: This toast tastes like an adult peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The toppings make the toast a bit messy, but they're great for satisfying your sweet tooth craving with a healthier option.
Eggs & Cheese Protein Box
Two hard-boiled eggs, cheddar, Monterey, and pepper jack cheese, fresh strawberries, and blueberries with flax and sea salt crackers.
My Thoughts: This box is like a charcuterie board on the go. It's a great snack between meals.
Pumpkin D-Lite and Vegan Pumpkin Smoothies
Smoothie King's protein-packed pumpkin smoothies are the best way to get your fall flavor fix without sugar-loaded syrups or artificial flavors! They are high in protein and made with organic pumpkin puree.
My Thoughts: I tried both smoothies before the event, with the Pumpkin D-Lite Smoothie being my favorite. Actually, Pumpkin D-Lite has been my go-to fall smoothie since last year. Regarding Vegan Pumpkin, I'm not a fan of the taste. It kind of tastes odd, as if it is missing something.
Also, I'm hearing news that Smoothie King is gearing up to bring more food options in the new year. So, basically, competing with Tropical Smoothie.
If you have a Smoothie King near you, try out their new "Power Eats" items. These foods pair well with all their smoothie selections.
