Though most brands have started rolling out their [pumpkin-flavored products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-pie-smoothie), Tropical Smoothie Cafe is taking things in a different direction. The new Green Goddess Flatbread started with a crispy toasted flatbread filled with your choice of either grilled chicken, garlic-herb shrimp or [plant-based protein](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highprotein-smoothie), as well as spinach, tomatoes, avocado, shredded parmesan cheese, and green goddess sauce. To pair with this fresh sandwich, the brand is also offering a new Strawberry Chia Lemonade Smoothie made from blended strawberries, lemon juice, and chia seeds. Both new items are available now through November 2, 2021.
