You probably know Smoothie King as the international, health-focused smoothie company with over 1,000 locations, serving delicious smoothies and encouraging people to live purposefully across the globe. Since our inception, we have believed that proper health helps us get the most out of each day, which has inspired us to craft our smoothies with non-GMO fruits and vegetables.

While our mission has never changed, Smoothie King had to start from somewhere. Keep reading for the full story of Smoothie King’s history.

When Did Smoothie King Start?

Smoothie King’s founder, Steve Kuhnau, first began experimenting with smoothies in 1973. To improve his health while making the journey taste great, Steve started mixing various fruits and proteins into smoothie blends.

His custom blends were successful and then some. Steve’s health improved so dramatically that he became a true believer in good nutrition through healthy smoothies. And so, the idea for Smoothie King was born.

The First Smoothie King Store

In 1973, Steve opened his first health food store in New Orleans, Louisiana. Accompanied by his wife, Cindy Kuhnau, Steve sold vitamins along with his favorite blends.

In March of 1989, Steve and Cindy founded Smoothie King® Franchises, Inc. with a vision to educate people about health and nutrition one smoothie at a time. What had begun as a quest to take charge of their own health through nutrition was now a growing company with a bright future.

Going International

In 2001, Wan Kim, Smoothie King’s brand owner, first discovered our smoothies while studying at the University of California at Irvine. Wan was immediately hooked. Not only was he impressed with the high quality of the products, but he was inspired by the company’s approach to health and wellness.

A few years later, after moving back to Seoul, Wan opened Smoothie King’s first international store. The franchise effort was a success, as Wan proceeded to grow the Smoothie King brand to more than 130 locations in South Korea.

In July 2012, the Kuhnaus sold Smoothie King to Wan Kim. Since then, Smoothie King has grown to more than 1,100 units in 33 states, the Caymans, Trinidad, and the Republic of Korea.

In 2014, we updated our logo to feature a red crown that symbolizes more than meets the eye. The points of the crown are three people with an extended hand, representing a sense of community. A genuine commitment to helping our guests live better lives and ruling the day through nutrition is the real story behind Smoothie King’s success.

In that same year, we brought our smoothies to professional athletes in New Orleans. Smoothie King contracted with the New Orleans Pelicans, Louisiana’s NBA team, to rename their home stadium the “Smoothie King Center.” Smoothie King now provides Smoothies with a Purpose to professional athletes, honoring our commitment to helping everyone focus on group success and maintain a can-do attitude.

Launching the Rule the Day™ Initiative

In 2019, we continued our rebranding efforts by launching the Rule the Day™ initiative, which features everyday habits that encourage people to live purposefully. Smoothie King is committed to helping everyone along their health and fitness journey by making blends with whole fruits, organic veggies, and none of the additives on our No-No List.

We promise to encourage you in your pursuit of a healthy, active lifestyle and to make smoothies that nutritionally support your health and fitness goals.

Celebrate Smoothie King’s History with a Throwback: The Angel Food Smoothie

Back in 1973, Steve Kuhnau started it all with a simple combination of fruits: strawberry and banana. He called it the Angel Food smoothie, his first blend.

This summer, we’re going back to our roots and honoring the blend that started it all. Joining our “Enjoy a Treat Blends” lineup, the Angel Food smoothie is back and better than ever. Loaded with bananas, strawberries, nonfat milk, and turbinado, Angel Food is a great way to reward yourself without compromising on whole ingredients.

You can also add extra enhancers, such as protein or electrolytes, to get an additional health kick from your smoothie. Like all our smoothies, the Enjoy a Treat Blends are made without high-fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, or artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. Sometimes, you deserve a sweet reward.

Go ahead and treat yourself to the original Angel Food smoothie (also available in a “Slim” option).

Rule the Day with Smoothie King

There you have it; that’s Smoothie King’s history! At Smoothie King, we valued our guests’ health and fitness goals then, and we value them now. That’s why we spent over five years and 15,000 hours researching and developing nutritious and flavorful blends to help you reach maximum physical performance. We aim to be transparent about the ingredients we use in our smoothies and the ones we promise to keep out. See for yourself! Click here to view our extensive line of delicious smoothies.

Time to break out your blender because it’s National Smoothie Day! And nobody celebrates better than Smoothie King on National Smoothie Day. So, when is National Smoothie Day, anyway? It’s celebrated each year on June 21st!

We are big smoothie fans (surprise, surprise), so we want to help you celebrate this holiday by sipping on the best smoothie you can get your hands on. The great part about smoothies is that your flavor combinations can be endless. You’re only limited by how many smoothie creations you can come up with!

The most common types of smoothies contain frozen fruit or veggies along with milk or fruit juice. But we don’t want you to have an average day of smoothies. Here are some fun ideas to amp up your smoothie game for this year’s National Smoothie Day:

Coffee Smoothies

Start National Smoothie Day on the right foot by skipping the café lines and switching out your regular cup of joe for a coffee smoothie! Not only do you get the energizing benefits of your usual coffee, but you can add in whey proteins and almonds. Coffee smoothies can keep you full and satisfied for an extended period and give you the energy you need to rule the day.

Workout Smoothies

Don’t let protein shakes have all the fun! Adding protein to your smoothies can help fuel you for an intense workout session or help you recover afterward. Enjoy a protein-rich smoothie before your workout to get the extra energy you need to push through those final reps and push your limits even further. After your workout, a protein smoothie can help give your body the necessary amino acids to repair and rebuild your muscles from all your exertion. Even better, protein in smoothie form will give you that refreshing post-workout cooldown you’ll be craving.

Plant-Based Smoothies

Good news! You can still enjoy delicious smoothies even if you follow a plant-based diet! Simply mix your favorite fruits and veggies with fruit juice or plant-based milk, such as oat or almond milk, and voila – you have the best fruit smoothie! You can even add in a plant-based protein for some extra fuel. Whether you are vegan or not, plant-based smoothies give you the nutrition and taste you want from healthy plant sources.

Immune Support Smoothies

If you want more out of your smoothie in the long run, go for types of smoothies made with ingredients that support your immune system. Immune-supporting ingredients include citrus fruits, spinach, yogurt, almonds, and kiwis. Adding in these foods can help your immune system work properly to keep you feeling your best.

A Personalized Smoothie

Speaking of health benefits, you can add much more to your smoothies to kick the taste and benefits up a notch. You can add in different types of protein powder, multivitamins, probiotics, slim enhancers, and energy boosts. You can pick and choose what you want your smoothie to do for your body. Having an array of options to customize your smoothie gives you the perfect blend for your health journey.

Sticking with the Basics

We mentioned earlier that we don’t want you to have an average smoothie day. While consuming your daily recommended servings of fruit and veggies can feel boring, it doesn’t have to be! Foods high in antioxidants, like berries, make for some of the best fruit smoothies – and they win points for taste. You don’t always need something fancy or extraordinary to treat yourself. Sometimes, you don’t need a smoothie to be anything more than a fresh, cold drink to enjoy.

Whether you’re looking for a refreshing workout recovery, an energy boost, or simply a fun treat, enjoy a smoothie at Smoothie King! National Smoothie Day can be celebrated by all, no matter your dietary or physical needs. So, grab a friend to celebrate with and create a smoothie that’s just right for you!

Let us help you Rule the Day this National Smoothie Day!

(DALLAS) April 13, 2022 – Smoothie King, the leading provider of health and fitness smoothies for 50 years, announces the launch of its new smoothie subscription, Nourish Daily, which allows guests to create custom smoothies in their kitchen. Smoothie King, a trailblazing brand, was the first smoothie chain to practice Clean Blends™. Clean Blends™ is a promise to offer the purest ingredients to blend a more nutritious smoothie from the bottom of the cup up, a commitment extended into the creation of Nourish Daily.

“With 50 years of smoothie-making expertise, we know what blends well and tastes good together,” said Rebecca Miller, chief marketing officer of Smoothie King. “Nourish Daily saves our guests time, money and effort by giving them great-tasting purposeful smoothies straight from their freezer to blender to cup.”

Nourish Daily focuses on offering elevated options that other smoothie subscriptions do not, such as customization, convenience and compact packaging. The brand’s website guides guests to build their smoothie subscriptions based on individual health and lifestyle goals.

Custom

Nourish Daily offers 12 ‘purpose powders’ including keto-friendly protein, muscle-building, vegan and immune support. The subscription allows guests to mix and match their selection of purpose powders with ten different ingredient blend options such as Wild Berry, Strawberry Pineapple and Veggie Mango to curate a truly customized smoothie experience.

To create a custom smoothie, you combine the ‘purpose powder,‘ ingredient blend and preferred liquid (e.g., water, milk, or juice) in a blender. No ice is required. Just blend and pour, making it simple to enjoy delicious smoothies at home that supports a healthy and active lifestyle.

Convenient

Nourish Daily does the backend work for its guests by providing clean ingredients, customized recipes and free scheduled delivery through its online website. It takes the hassle out of sourcing smoothie ingredients, saves time going to and from the grocery store and takes the guesswork out of creating good-tasting recipes.

Smoothie subscriptions are delivered with the convenience of choosing the date and time of the delivery, eliminating time spent tracking shipments or sitting unattended for an extended period. Alternatively, guests can pick up their smoothie subscription in-store at their nearest Smoothie King location.

Compact

Nourish Daily comes in flat, space-saving and recyclable packaging to avoid bulky containers that take up too much freezer space. The smoothie subscription is available in quantities of seven ($6.99 per smoothie), 14 ($6.29 per smoothie), or 21 ($5.29 per smoothie).

With summer quickly approaching, it’s time to dust off those New Year’s resolutions just in time for National Fitness Day! National Fitness Day falls on the first Saturday of May and is the perfect reason to either create or recommit to your fitness goals. To celebrate this year, we’ve come up with some ideas to get your heart pumping and your body moving as you work toward a healthier you:

Get Moving

Getting up and moving is the first thing to do on National Fitness Day! Whether you plan on an intense workout session or a walk to the park with a friend, any movement is good movement. If you’re not sure where to start, at least 30 minutes of physical activity a day would be an ideal fitness goal for both men and women.

Try a New Exercise

If exercising is already a part of your routine, try mixing it up this National Fitness Day with something out of the ordinary! If you typically do HIIT workouts, maybe some mindful yoga would help stretch out your muscles. If you’re a runner, swimming could help relieve the stress on your joints. You could even try something unconventional like rollerblading, rock climbing, or going to the batting cages. Whatever exercise looks like for you, try out something different – you may even find a new, healthy hobby in the process!

Create a New Playlist

Sometimes, new music is all you need to motivate yourself! If you’ve been listening to the same workout playlist for a while, it might be time to shake things up. You’d be surprised at how something as simple as music can re-energize you and get you excited to work out. This is an especially great idea if you want to observe National Fitness Day but aren’t looking to change your routine too much.

Change Your Scenery

Similar to changing your music, sometimes changing your surroundings can improve your mood and motivation during your workout. You could consider trying a different route on your run or bringing your yoga outside instead of staying indoors. Trying a new exercise, as mentioned before, could naturally change the scenery of your workout. This will be the case if you choose to do something more unique like hiking, biking, or a water sport.

Participate in an Event

Hosting or joining a National Fitness Day event would not only be a fun way to get your body moving but is also a great way to celebrate with others in your community and friend groups. Events come in all shapes and sizes and can be as time-intensive as you’d like. If you’re looking for something low-key, dropping in on a class at your local gym or organizing a game of touch football with friends are great ways to get your body moving while also getting to socialize. Conversely, you could go big by setting up a local 5K or teaching a group Zumba class at a local park.

Refuel with Smoothie King

Your diet will majorly impact your fitness goals. After you’ve celebrated National Fitness Day, ensure long-lasting results by making healthy food choices. Eating protein after exercise can help your muscles build and recover quickly. So, treat yourself and get a protein smoothie that fuels your muscles, taste buds, and fitness goals.

Find a way to celebrate National Fitness Day that best suits your fitness goals! Getting your body active and keeping it nourished are equally important to both your physical and mental health.

DALLAS, April 5, 2022 – The best health and fitness partners make you feel supported every step of your journey, which is what inspired Smoothie King’s Manage Weight line-up. Available on Smoothie King menus nationwide, Manage Weight smoothies are purposefully blended to help you achieve your unique weight management goals, including boosting metabolism, cutting calories or keeping you on keto.

“When it comes to managing weight, one size does not fit all,” said Rebecca Miller, Chief Marketing Officer of Smoothie King. “We know many of our guests look to shape up for summer, and we want to provide them with the nutritional support they need to reach their goals. Because every body is different (and so are we), that means giving our guests a full line-up of smoothies purposefully blended to help guests achieve their unique goals.”

Manage Weight Smoothies

The Manage Weight line includes Smoothie King’s signature Slim-N-Trim™, Metabolism Boost® and Keto Champ™ blends. Each smoothie is packed with whole fruits, organic vegetables and enough protein to replace a meal, and unlike other weight management smoothies on the market, Smoothie King’s line-up contains no added sugar.

Like all Smoothie King smoothies, the Manage Weight line stays true to the brand’s Clean Blends™ Promise and has no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives or anything else on the no-no list.

When so many smoothie places exist, how do you know which one is the best? Smoothie King is unique because every smoothie is created with a purpose in mind to help you on your health and fitness journey. From getting fit to managing weight and overall wellness, there is a Smoothie King smoothie to help you reach your goal. We’re serving smoothies that taste great and have function beyond being a sweet treat.

Is Smoothie King Better than Tropical Smoothie Café?

Sure, you might say we’re biased, but nutritionally speaking, facts are facts. Yes, Smoothie King is better than Tropical Smoothie Café because of quality ingredients and our transparency about what goes in your smoothie.

Smoothie King uses whole fruits and organic veggies. Unlike Tropical Smoothie Café, our smoothies contain no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. Check out the no-no list to see all the things Smoothie King will not put in a smoothie.

Also, all of the ingredients in our smoothies are clearly stated in the smoothie description, so you know what you are consuming. Most blends at Smoothie King have 0g added sugar. Low sugar blends are clearly marked with an icon on the menu at Smoothie King. Compare this to Tropical Smoothie Café, which adds sugar to its smoothies, but buries this addition as a small notation at the bottom of their menu instead of listing the sugar in the description of ingredients.

Tropical Smoothie Café sugary treats are great drinks to satisfy a sweet tooth, but you’ll be hungry an hour later since very few of their smoothies have enough protein to be considered a meal. At Smoothie King, smoothies aligning with FDA guidelines for protein content as a meal replacement are marked with an icon on the menu. You have over 20 meal smoothies to choose from at Smoothie King.

So, is Smoothie King better than Tropical Smoothie Café? Absolutely. If you are looking for more than a cold dessert, Smoothie King is the obvious choice.

Is Smoothie King Better than Jamba Juice?

As far as smoothie places go many Jamba Juice smoothies use sorbet, frozen yogurt, and sherbet bases, making their menu full of desserts rather than whole blends or meal substitutes. Although you can “boost” Jamba Juice smoothies with energy, vitamins, protein, and other ingredients, many still contain artificial ingredients and high sugar.

Jamba Juice may offer different types of smoothies, but most of their smoothies are not healthy blends. That’s why you must turn to the expert – Smoothie King.

Smoothie King: Better-for-You Smoothies

Our blends will not only fuel your body, but they’ll serve your taste buds, too! The fact that we can accomplish both with quality ingredients makes you wonder why the competition needs to use so much sugar. Other smoothie brands focus on an in-the-moment experience – the candy-like, sweet flavors. We’re focused on the nutrition and the benefits of our blends in helping you achieve your health goals.

Smoothie King blends are meant to provide your body with the fuel it needs to Rule the Day. Our ingredients have specific purposes and serve your health/fitness needs, whether that’s muscle-building or joint recovery. That’s why Smoothie King is the best smoothie place for athletes and gym-goers alike. You’ll walk away with a nutritionally rich whole blend that tastes great and gets you closer to your unique health and fitness goals.

Start Your Journey at Smoothie King

If our blends on the menu aren’t quite what you’re after, the Smoothie King menu allows you to mix and match to find your perfect blend. Customize your smoothie so that you can Rule the Day every day. Whether you’re swapping out a fruit or adding a nutritional enhancer, customization is king at Smoothie King. Once you find your closest location, you’ll never have to search “healthy smoothie places near me” again.

2022 Is Your Year!

With the new year quickly approaching, we’d guess that implementing healthy habits are at the top of everyone’s to-do lists. New Year’s resolutions are an important way to start the coming year off right, and we want to help you create the best resolutions possible. We’ve compiled some of the top resolutions, from healthy weight goals and wellness, to get the ball rolling and help you make 2022 your best year yet.

#1. Prioritize a Healthy Diet

Weight loss seems to be the trendiest New Year’s resolution year after year. While we don’t want to push for weight loss necessarily, we encourage you to stop and think about what your health and wellness goals are. Are you trying to trim down? Bulk up? Maintain your weight? Eat healthier simply to feel better? Only you can decide.

Writing down SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-based) goals can help make these dreams a reality in the coming new year. Perhaps one SMART goal is to eat (or drink!) a cup of fruit or vegetables each day. Luckily, Smoothie King carries many different types of smoothies to help you meet this goal. Try our Metabolism Boost Strawberry Pineapple for fruit intake or our Slim-N-Trim Veggie to get your vegetables in!

In addition to eating more fruits and vegetables, maintaining a more balanced and healthy diet can help you with your overall health. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, eating a balanced and healthy diet can help reduce your risk of heart disease and some kinds of cancer. Try swapping out soda for water or cooking with olive oil instead of butter to introduce healthier habits into your diet slowly. Little swaps like these will make all the difference.

Investing in a gym membership or fitness program can also help you achieve your weight goals. Programs like F45 or Nike Training Club (which is free!) can help you stay motivated for workouts and offer options like group classes or video tips and tricks. You can also download the Smoothie King app for rewards and motivation on your journey to better health.

#2. Learn How to Meditate

Learning how to meditate can help you feel calmer with better control of your life. It is an excellent resolution for 2022 as you work to improve your mind, body, and spirit. Not only has meditation been proven to reduce stress, help manage anxiety, and improve sleep, but it can also help lengthen attention span. If you want to improve your overall health in 2022, pair meditation with healthier eating or workout goals.

Several useful tools are available to help you become better at (or begin) meditation. We recommend downloading a free app like Calm or Headspace. These apps will walk you through guided meditations to help you get into a clear headspace and learn valuable techniques.

At Smoothie King, we want to help you accomplish your resolutions in 2022. Combining meditation with healthy sleep habits, a well-structured diet, and working out for 30 minutes or more a day will help you to become the best and healthiest version of yourself – on all fronts. A healthy smoothie is a perfect refreshment to stabilize blood sugar levels after a meditation session, so be sure to download the Smoothie King mobile app to get a free smoothie reward or to find “healthy smoothies near me” throughout the year!

#3 Switch to a Vegan Lifestyle

This resolution may not be for everyone (and that’s perfectly fine!), but switching to a vegan lifestyle can lead to healthier eating habits as you become more aware of the food you eat and the ingredients in your products. Vegans tend to eat more fruits and vegetables than the average person, which can lead to higher fiber and vitamin levels in the body. These higher fiber and vitamin levels help with overall health while lowering the risk of cancer and Type 2 Diabetes.

Following the vegan lifestyle can be a big change, so we recommend starting by planning your meals in advance and cooking at home as much as possible. Being aware of what you eat can be overwhelming, but if you cook for yourself and plan, it will be significantly easier to eat healthily and maintain vegan standards in your meals.

Smoothie King also has a wide variety of vegan and energy smoothies you can try as you switch to the vegan lifestyle. Vegan Mixed Berry, MangoFest, Vegan Dark Chocolate Banana, and the Pure Recharger Mango Strawberry are just some of our favorite vegan blends. You can check out the entire list of plant-based options at Smoothie King here.

DALLAS, Jan. 4, 2022 – Exercises that get your heart pumping are the name of the game in 2022, and Smoothie King, the leader in purposeful smoothies, spent countless hours crafting a new line-up of The Activator® Recovery smoothies specifically blended to optimize intense workouts and help guests achieve their New Year goals.

With 26 grams of protein in every 20 oz. blend (more protein than you would get from four eggs*), The Activator® Recovery smoothies are the best for high protein, post-workout recovery. Made with whole fruits and organic vegetables, Smoothie King’s proprietary, high-quality Gladiator® protein and naturally hydrating coconut water, these new smoothies give guests nutrients they need to recover properly after any intense workout, from high-intensity resistance training and running to swimming and triathlon training. These include protein to help build, tone and strengthen muscle and electrolytes like calcium, potassium, sodium and magnesium to replenish what’s lost in sweat as guests pursue their goals.

“We know our guests are craving more intense workouts as we enter a new year, so we crafted our new Activator® Recovery smoothies to support those evolving fitness trends,” said Rebecca Miller, Chief Marketing Officer of Smoothie King. “We’re also launching these new smoothies just in time to fuel New Year’s fitness goals because we care about our guests and want to empower them to Rule the Day®.

In 2020, it launched a new line of Stretch & Flex™ smoothies made with collagen to support the yoga routines spiking in popularity while many people adjusted to working from home, and The Activator® Recovery smoothies demonstrate the same commitment to meeting consumers where they are and empowering them to live a healthy, athletically-inspired life in whatever way serves them best.

The Activator® Recovery smoothies are in Smoothie King’s ‘Get Fit’ category of blends, all crafted with clean, protein-rich ingredients to help guests fuel up or recover faster.
