Tuscaloosa will be in for a treat with the new Tropical Smoothie Café coming soon to Midtown Village. Their motto is “Eat Better. Feel Better,” and the café prides itself in providing healthy, fresh food.
Tropical Smoothie Café will be opening next to Kinnucan’s at 1800 McFarland Blvd. East, Suite 306. The restaurant is set to open by the end of November.
Apart from its wide array of smoothies, the new establishment will offer wraps, sandwiches and salads. Their breakfast menu is served all day and offers a variety of options, ranging from traditional to tropical meals.
Those interested can go to tropicalsmoothie.com, look over the menu, and plug your choice into their Nutritional Calculator to get your order’s calorie count, transfat, saturated fat, sodium and vitamin information. The website also lets you order online so your order will be ready to go when you arrive.
From the breakfast menu, I usually go with the Early Bird Wrap with eggs, chicken, pepper jack cheese, tomatoes, and chipotle mayonnaise on a toasted flour tortilla. If you’re looking to go for more of a traditional breakfast, the Classic Ciabatta is always toasted to perfection on Ciabatta bread with egg, cheddar cheese, American cheese, and your choice of bacon, ham or sausage.
For lunch, the Baja Chicken sandwich on toasted flatbread is delicious and definitely worth trying. The wrap includes grilled chicken, low-fat mozzarella, green peppers, red peppers, onions, romaine lettuce and light southwest ranch dressing. The Jamaican Jerk Chicken wrap is also a menu favorite with chicken, southwestern rice, corn, black beans, asparagus, onions and Jamaican Jerk Sauce.
The restaurant also features a wide variety of fresh salads for those looking to stray away from sandwiches. Tropical Smoothie Café recently kicked off their “Stoked about Spinach” campaign by adding the Loaded Spinach Salad and the Smokin’ Spinach Turkey Wrap to their menu. Both will only be offered for a limited time.
As the name suggests, Tropical Smoothie Café also offers four types of smoothies: Lowfat, Supercharged, Supplement and Indulgent. So whether you are looking to indulge or drink light, the café has the smoothie for you in just about every flavor you could imagine. The lowfat smoothies come in every fruit flavor. From the Indulgent menu, the Mocha Madness is perfect for all chocolate and coffee lovers with chocolate, coffee, cappuccino and non-fat yogurt.
The Supplement smoothie menu has numerous smoothies that would come in handy for the average college student, including the Energizer, Weight Management, Stress Defense and Multi-Vitamin.
