Smoothies are one of the most versatile and tasty ways to get a nutrition hit, whether you’re looking to increase your protein intake or simply need to refuel after a workout. They can be customized to fit any diet or lifestyle, be it keto, vegan, or non-dairy. It’s important to note that not all restaurant chains use top-notch ingredients in their smoothies—some rely on juice concentrates and other additives, yet they still command high prices. So where can you really get your money’s worth in terms of health benefits and taste? Here are seven restaurant chains known for using only real fresh fruit in every smoothie and juice.
Pressed Juicery
Pressed Juicery offers delectable smoothies crafted with real fruit, such as the Strawberry Orange Mango Smoothie, which includes apples, oranges, strawberries, mangoes, peaches, and lemon. As the chain describes it, this smoothie is “a vibrant blend packed with 500% of your daily vitamin C, 14% of your daily fiber, and 15% of your daily potassium. Crafted to nourish, each sip nurtures immunity, supports digestion, and fuels your body with essential nutrients.”
Joe & The Juice
Joe & the Juice’s range of juices, shakes, and bowls boasts “simple ingredients and good vibes only.” According to the chain, they use “no stuff you can’t pronounce… Just pure taste from great ingredients.” The Danish chain is popular among patrons, who also enjoy the sandwiches available. As one enthusiastic customer shared, “I’m obsessed with this place! I’ve only ordered through Uber Eats so far and haven’t had a bad experience with the food or juices upon delivery. If it’s just as flavorful as it is when delivered, then it must be even better in person. I hope to visit soon. It’s a bit expensive for three items (mainly due to the delivery fee), but it’s been worth it.”
Tropical Smoothie Cafe
Tropical Smoothie Cafe uses real fruit in its juices and smoothies. “I got a smoothie that was so delicious and a breakfast flatbread that fueled me for a big day. It was honestly so good that then while waiting for an Uber, I went back inside and ordered a second!!” one Yelper said.
Nékter Juice Bar
Nékter Juice Bar uses delicious fresh fruit for smoothies such as the Pink Flamingo (dragon fruit, strawberry, pineapple, coconut water, agave nectar). “Love this place. Everyone is so awesome. The smoothies are amazing. My fave is the Coffee Kickstart. The atmosphere is amazing and relaxing,” one fan said.
Robeks
Robeks uses fresh fruit for every smoothie—for example, the Strawberry Banana contains just strawberries, banana, frozen yogurt, and apple juice. “Robeks has the best smoothies and bowls. Love the new Sweet Sipper, it is perfect,” one happy customer said.
Smoothie King
Smoothie King uses real high-quality fresh fruit for juices, smoothies, and açai bowls. “I typically get the Caribbean Way with blueberries, spinach and kale added, and no turbinado,” one Redditor suggested.
Clean Juice
Clean Juice uses only high-quality USDA-certified organic ingredients—including real fruit—in its smoothies. “Their smoothies are so fresh and zingy, I’m convinced they have wizards in the back squeezing magic out of pineapples,” one happy customer said via Yelp. “My only complaint? I can’t move in–I asked, they said no. Five sparkling, vitamin-packed stars! If you want to be deliciously hydrated and possibly ascend to a higher plane of fruity existence, get yourself to Clean Juice.”
