While Tropical Smoothie Café may be known for its creamy, health-consious fruit drinks, the chain recently made an effort to bolster its lunch and dinner menu with the addition of the new Cha Cha Sriracha Flatbread. Made with ingredients such as pineapple salsa and hot sauce, the chain has pegged the new sandwich as the perfect "heat-meets-sweet combo."
The new Cha Cha Sriracha Flatbread from Tropical Smoothie Café is a sweet and spicy sandwich option made with grilled chicken, shredded carrots, scallions, cilantro, romaine lettuce, mozzarella cheese, pineapple salsa and caramelized pineapple sriracha sauce. The sweet pineapple flavor combined with the spiciness of the hot sauce creates a unique flavor combination that is perfect for the warmer days ahead.
The sandwich also boasts tropical Asian flavors, which are likely to appeal to those who enjoy global fusion cuisine.
