Tastes yummy but I think it's terribly over priced.

too pricey

I've been to Smoothie King in other cities and have seen the menu -- not everything has the same nutritional value as a Whopper combo meal. Just ask or look at the calorie chart. It's not hard. Some of them are very healthy.

You definitely have to be very careful which smoothie you order and how you order it. If you're going to be a "regular" you should have a good job and probably be working out as well to counter the amount of calories you'll be taking in.

If you get a 20 ounce Slim-N-Trim and say make it skinny it is only 153 calories and 1 gram of fat

NO! IGNORE THE FACT THAT THEY CAN BE HEALTHY. PLEASE CHOOSE THE LARGEST & LEAST HEALTHY ON THE MENU AND PRESENT THAT AS THE SOLE EXAMPLE OF HOW HORRIBLE THEY ARE.

Why are people so dumb?
