Smoothie King launches Ozempic-friendly menu
October 29, 2024
Smoothie King has created five smoothies designed for the millions of Americans taking prescription GLP-1 medications, such as Ozempic, to help them achieve their weight goals.
Created in partnership with Molly Kimball — a registered dietitian with Ochsner Health, a nonprofit healthcare provider in the Gulf South — the Smoothie King GLP-1 Support Menu features high-protein smoothies with 20 grams of protein or more. They are rich in fiber and have zero grams of added sugar.
"When developing this menu, it was important to offer blends with a thoughtful balance of nutrient-dense, high-protein, fiber-rich foods to support satiety and muscle mass," Kimball said in a company press release. "We were also mindful of sugar — each smoothie on the menu contains zero grams of added sugar. From a new Gladiator GLP-1 with 45 grams of protein to the Power Meal Slim GLP-1 with 7 grams of fiber, the featured smoothies incorporate essential ingredients to support the effectiveness of GLP-1 and promote overall metabolic health for all individuals, whether they're taking GLP-1 medications or just looking for a hydrating, protein-rich smoothie option."
Smoothie King CEO Wan Kim said the company prides itself on providing the nutritional resources desired by customers.
"Our smoothies are more than just a delicious treat — they're a power-packed meal on the go to help our guests stay on track with their goals," he said in the release.
Smoothie King has 1,200 locations.
