Offering smoothie blends for slimming down, improving wellness and exercising, Smoothie King is known for not using artificial ingredients such as high fructose corn syrup.

There are Smoothie King units across the U.S. and in countries such as South Korea, Trinidad and Tobago and the Cayman Islands.
