Tropical Smoothie Cafe Partners with Disney

Tropical Smoothie Cafe®, a popular name recognized for its refreshing smoothies and wholesome food, is breaking new ground with its first-ever collaboration with Disney.

It features an enticing blend of pineapple, mango, banana, orange juice, and blue spirulina. The combination of these ingredients is designed to deliver a refreshing experience, evoking the spirit of summer and the vibrant essence of Hawaii.

The name 'Ohana holds significant meaning, being the Hawaiian word for family.

The final recipe not only matches the visual elements of the film but also encapsulates its emotional tone. As such, fans of both the restaurant and the movie can look forward to enjoying a drink that reflects the creativity and warmth of their beloved franchise.
