Tropical Smoothie Cafe


Tropical Smoothie Cafe is celebrating the release of “Lilo & Stitch” with a smoothie that’s as sweet as a warm Hawaiian breeze. Meet the limited-edition ‘Ohana Breeze Smoothie, a bright blend of pineapple, mango, banana, orange juice, and a swirl of blue spirulina that gives it a splash of island-inspired color. 

The word ʻohana means family, and just like the movie’s unforgettable line, “family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten,” this smoothie is made for everyone in your family with sizes for the kids (12 oz.) and for the young-at-heart (24 oz.).
