                                According to one analysis, the average Tropical Smoothie Cafe smoothie contains about 495 calories and a hefty 90 grams of sugar, challenging the perception that all their drinks are inherently healthy. This high sugar content, often from added turbinado sugar, can rival that of milkshakes or sodas. While the cafe uses real fruits and fresh ingredients, the nutritional value varies significantly across the menu.
