Smoothie King - Gladiator Smoothie
The sugars in all their stuff looks outrageous - the gladiator, for some reason, is missing information though:

Their "low carb" have decent sugars (3) but 81g of fat!

Love it!
They sell it in canisters too! I have all three flavors at home but I LOVE the chocolate to make with coffee, ice, and high protein, lactose free milk!
Without the Gladiator, I'd be in bad shape! It got me through many periods of being unable to eat!!
When I get it at Smoothie King, I get The Gladiator (which is make with vanilla protein powder) with banana and strawberry (you can choose two fruits) and add vitamin. Vanilla is awesome to have at home to mix with Davinci Syrups! The combinations are endless! The Gladiator at Smoothie King is not make with any milk products (except the whey protein) so it's good for me! Because it's pricey, I bought the canisters and make my own at home. I just have a small hand held mixer that I stick and use to blend in a large cup from which I drink it.
Enjoy!
I have two sides to my brain - a right side and a left side. The trouble is sometimes there is nothing left in the right side and nothing right in the left side.

I love them. BUT... they are a bit too high calorie for me. Be warned to that the nutrition facts listed on their menu is only for the 20 ounce pineapple Gladiator. If you get different fruit(s) and/or different juice flavors, it can DRASTICALLY change the nutrition facts.
On the menu, the Gladiator is listed as:
180 calories
0 fat
1 carbs
45 protein
This is only true for the 20 ounce pineapple.
If you get the vanilla based double banana (you get the choice of vanilla, strawberry or chocolate base and your choice of 2 fruits and/or 2 fruit juices - I always choose vanilla for my base and banana for both fruits), it has:
380 calories
0 fat
49 carbs
47 protein
Edited to add:
You have to make them show you their binder book of their fruit serving sizes w/ the accompanying nutrition facts on those, then add those in to the menu nutrition facts box, then subtract out the pineapple nutrition facts from their binder book (since you aren't eating the pineapple flavor) to get the TRUE nutrition facts for whatever flavor you are getting.
I don't know the Smoothie King, but in general, I would be careful of these smoothie shops. Quite often, it's more calorie-laden than it's worth!

Thanks. I did go out and purchase a 20 ounce - vanilla base with strawberries and mango - WAY TOO SWEET!! I sipped maybe half of it before I had to stop. Felt nauseated and overly full. Maybe I'll just buy the powder and experiment at home with different fruits so I can monitor the sugar. Thanks again you guys!!
