Tropical Smoothie Café debuts new wrap, salad

January 6, 2014

To help consumers meet resolutions about eating healthy, Tropical Smoothie Café has introduced a couple new menu items that are available until Feb. 23, according to a company press release. They include: Coconut Curry Chicken Wrap, featuring chicken, carrots and mixed grains wrapped in a warm tortilla and layered in a coconut curry sauce, and the Coconut Lime Chicken Salad, made with chicken, tomatoes, carrots and mixed grains on a bed of kale, spinach and romaine lettuce, topped with a coconut lime dressing.

"Eating 'lighter' doesn't mean you have to eat boring or bland food," said Lisa Wenda, chief marketing officer of Tropical Smoothie Café. "Our new wrap and salad are a reinforcement of Tropical Smoothie Café's 'Eat Better. Feel Better.' mantra, where we believe that food that's good for you doesn't have to sacrifice on taste."

In addition to the new salad and wrap, Wenda said, the chain is encouraging guests to drink to their health with a variety of fruit and vegetable smoothie options overflowing with superfoods, including:

• Island Green, a blend of fresh spinach, kale, mango, pineapple and banana; Caribbean C-burst, a mix of carrots, mango, banana, goji and orange juice.
• Acai Berry Boost, made with blueberries, strawberries, pomegranate, bananas and acai.
• And Pomegranate Plunge, a combination of bananas, strawberries, cranberries and pomegranate.
