Celebrate National Nutrition Month with Smoothie King's Almond Boost

In March, Smoothie King is celebrating National Nutrition Month by partnering with California Almonds, highlighting the numerous health benefits that almonds can bring to your favorite smoothies. As smoothie aficionados look for ways to enhance their nutrition, incorporating almonds becomes an excellent choice.

Whether you're fighting fatigue, craving a protein boost, or seeking sustenance post-workout, adding almonds can elevate your smoothie experience. Not only do they contribute protein—an added 5 grams per serving when you include approximately 20 almonds—but they also provide an essential fiber boost with an additional 3 grams. This month's promotion encourages New Healthy Rewards loyalty members to enjoy $3 off their smoothies, further incentivizing them to choose healthier options packed with nourishing ingredients.

"Almonds are my go-to smoothie power-up, filled with essential nutrients, like magnesium and vitamin E," says Dawn Jackson Blatner, RDN, CSSD. Her enthusiasm is backed by research that indicates that the daily consumption of just 2 ounces of almonds may positively influence muscle recovery after exercise. Studies funded by the Almond Board of California demonstrated that participants who consumed 57 grams of almonds experienced significant benefits: reduced fatigue, decreased tension during muscle recovery, and improved lower back strength, showcasing the impressive capacity of this nut when integrated into a balanced diet.

A Partnership Rooted in Health

Smoothie King and California Almonds share a mission of promoting health through purposeful nutrition. In this context, National Nutrition Month serves as a reminder that integrating wholesome, nutrient-dense foods into one's diet, like almonds, can positively impact overall health. According to Laura Morin, Director of North America and China Marketing for California Almonds, "Together, we're encouraging everyone to commit to small changes that can significantly influence your wellbeing. Something as simple as adding almonds to your favorite Smoothie King blend can have a big nutritional impact on how you feel inside and out."

Smoothie King sets itself apart by maintaining a commitment to clean ingredients, with a 'No No' list containing over 75 items that the brand avoids, including artificial additives and high fructose corn syrup. This dedication to quality ensures that each smoothie offers guests a delightful and nutritious experience.
