While many brands are shifting their focus to fall, Tropical Smoothie Cafe is keeping summer going a little longer with two tasty new smoothie bowl options: the new Bahama Mama Bowl and the new PB Protein Crunch Bowl.
Officially available as of August 21, 2024, both of the new additions to the brand's Tropic Bowl Menu will deliver a taste of the tropics in a delicious bowl format. The first of the new bowls is the Bahama Mama Bowl, which is based on Tropical Smoothie Cafe's best-selling smoothie. With each order of the Bahama Mama Bowl, you can expect to find a pineapple and strawberry smoothie base topped with coconut chips, chia seeds, granola, and honey drizzle. On the other hand, the new PB Protein Crunch Bowl features a Chobani Greek Yogurt and peanut butter smoothie base, all topped with almonds, cacao nibs, granola, banana slices, chia seeds, and peanut drizzle.
