When people ask me to describe Tropical Smoothie Café my explanation in a nutshell is healthy fast food and smoothies.  Being that we make everything to order I do have to retract the word fast and say faster with a smile.  What we are is a quick-casual restaurant.  We are not a smoothie shack where all they’re doing is selling smoothies.  We’re selling a complete line of food items, including gourmet wraps, specialty sandwiches, fresh soups and salads.  How we’re different is that we prepare all items fresh to order.  That’s what really makes us unique.
If it your first time then I would suggest our signature wrap King Caesar™, you really can’t go wrong with any of the wraps but I rarely find anyone who doesn’t like the King Caesar.

Customers ask me all the time which smoothie is the best and to be honest that is like asking which tastes better an orange or a banana.  Meaning it really depends on what kind of fruit you like.  If you are watching your calories and carbohydrates then I would suggest a Blue Lagoon™ made with Splenda.

The Blue Lagoon™ includes blueberries, strawberries and banana at 130 calories with 25 carbohydrates and less than one gram of fat.  Add soy or whey protein for 22 to 26 grams of protein and it will produce a serving size of 24 ounces.
