Tropical Smoothie Cafe offers dozens of smoothie options, including the Very Berry Green Tea, which proves it costs to be healthy.
I’m game for the catchphrase of Tropical Smoothie Cafe, a national chain which holds shop on South Campbell. The menu has gourmet salads, bistro sandwiches, toasted wraps and flatbread, but the only purpose for our stop was to get a pair of smoothies as the SGF weather began to warm. Too bad, I only brought a ten-dollar bill, not knowing each 16 oz. drink ran more than $5. It seems a little pricey for a handful of fruit thrown in a blender, but the Very Berry Green Tea was absolutely delicious (for a one-time delicacy).
It was also pleasing (for me) to hear Dr. Dre’s The Chronic blasting from the speakers when I entered, though I’m not sure the exiting family felt the same. The master blender realized the unedited satellite radio music and turned off the tunes.
Tropical Smoothie Cafe has dozens of options for smoothies in different categories (simply indulgent, coffee, super fruit, supercharged – with added “nutrients” like ginseng, and low-fat), with any fruit, flavor or health “supercharger” you can dream of. The Very Berry Green Tea was a blend of acai, strawberries, blueberries and matcha green tea. If you can afford a $5+ fruit drink these days, I’d recommend it.
Maybe I’m wrong. What do you think is a fair price for a fruit smoothie? Discuss.
