Smoothie King® Offers NEW Vegan Smoothies Powered by Sunwarrior®

Growing Franchise Provides Guests with Purifying, Plant-Based Menu Options

October 02, 2014 // Franchising.com // NEW ORLEANS – Smoothie King Franchises, Inc., the leading smoothie franchise company with 700 stores worldwide, has introduced two new Vegan Smoothies Powered by Sunwarrior. The new menu items are blended with 100 percent pure Sunwarrior raw plant-based protein and other nutritious ingredients like superfoods acai and kale and antioxidant-rich mango.

"Statistics show a growing interest in plant-based diets among all consumers, both vegan and non-vegan," said Wan Kim, owner and CEO of Smoothie King. "By introducing these new menu options, we are catering to guests who seek plant-based protein in their diets. Our goal is to provide them with quick, easy and tasty ways to get the nutrition they crave on-the-go."

"It used to be that vegan protein was only of interest to hardcore vegans and vegetarians," said Jerry Burt, National Sales Manager of Sunwarrior." Now we see a wider group of people - fitness enthusiasts, health conscious parents, teens and baby boomers - who are incorporating plant-based meals into their daily lives. Replacing just one meal per day with a plant-based option can have long lasting health benefits. The fact that these smoothies taste great makes it even better."

Two Vegan Smoothies Naturally Powered by Sunwarrior have been added to the Smoothie King menu for this initial rollout:

  • Mango Kale Smoothie: A flavorful blend of Sunwarrior Warrior Blend raw plant-based protein, mango juice blend, banana, kale, apple juice and almond, this antioxidant-rich smoothie is vegan wholesomeness at its finest.
  • Dark Chocolate Banana Smoothie: 100 percent cocoa, bananas, acai and Sunwarrior Warrior Blend raw plant-based protein fill the cup to make this smoothie both delicious and nutritious.

Smoothie King's New Vegan Smoothies Powered by Sunwarrior are all under 350 calories (20 oz. serving), have no saturated fats, aid in healthy digestion, are lactose-free, gluten-free, and are rich in Vitamin A and C. They provide up to 11g of muscle-building, fat-burning plant-based protein and are rich in antioxidants, minerals, enzymes and phytonutrients. They can be consumed as both a healthy snack or meal replacement. To find out more about Vegan Smoothies or see the full menu of offerings from Smoothie King, visit SmoothieKing.com.
