When it comes to sticking to a diet, a couple of problems tend to arise. One is trying to get the right nutrients while keeping the calories down and at the same time trying to stave off hunger. The other, and generally for more problematic one, is finding something to eat that doesn’t taste like cardboard, or even worse, makes you wish you had rather eaten the box it came in.
For those with time and a touch of creativity, whipping up a properly engineered smoothie with a good balance of nutrients has always been an excellent option. However, this does involve knowing a thing or two about nutrition, having healthy ingredients ready to go, and living with people who can stand the deafening whine of a liquidiser. And even then, the taste may leave something to be desired.
For everyone who would rather have all the advantages without the effort, Smoothie King in Galleria Plaza might present a pretty good answer.
According to Barry Bodden of Smoothie King, the company’s vision is “to become the healthy alternative to unhealthy food choices.”
With a wide range of functional smoothies, the menu at Smoothie King allows customers to select a smoothie that will suit their needs, whether it be weight loss, energy, or even weight gain.
With all the ingredients listed, as well as the breakdown of nutritional content, it is easy to find the smoothie that is just right for you. And if the wide selection proves just too confusing, the staff can help guide you to a smoothie that suits your needs.
“We’ve got low carb, high protein, and quite a number of smoothies under 300 calories,” says Barry.
As smoothies are made fresh, they can be customised as well, with enhancer blends tuned to do anything from help boost your weight loss to keeping you awake through a long and boring meeting.
However, Barry is quick to point out that because you are dealing with function based smoothies, you should not order something like The Hulk, intended for people who need to gain weight and pack in the calories, when you are looking to control your weight.
“You can’t think that just ordering a smoothie will make you lose weight. However, if you get the right smoothie and use it as a meal replacement you will see positive results,” he says.
A visit to the store’s website, smoothieking.ky is also very useful, as the site gives a breakdown of the different menu items, their nutritional values, and even gives a list of smoothies and supplements that can help you achieve your health and fitness goals.
